The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a structured framework that defines the process for planning, creating, testing, and deploying high-quality software systems. It encompasses distinct phases including requirements analysis, system design, implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance. Tools and platforms that support SDLC workflows provide capabilities for project management, source control, continuous integration and delivery, testing automation, release management, and collaboration across development teams.
