The enterprise software product development lifecycle (ESDLC) is developing and maintaining enterprise software applications. It typically includes the following phases:
Planning: Planning involves identifying the business needs that the software will address and creating a plan for the development process.
Analysis: Gathering and analyzing the requirements for the software to create a detailed specification for the software.
Design: Creating the software architecture and design based on the requirements gathered in the previous phase.
Development: The actual development of the software.
Testing: Ensuring the software meets the required specifications and functions correctly.
Deployment: The software is deployed and made available to users.
Maintenance: Ongoing maintenance and updates are performed to ensure that the software continues to function properly and meet the organization’s needs.
The enterprise software development process involves multiple cycles through these phases to refine and improve the software. It can also be agile, meaning that it is characterized by a focus on rapid iteration and flexibility in response to changing requirements.
