Web Dev Life Cycle
The Web Development Life Cycle is a systematic process that web developers follow to create a website or web application.
Planning
Objective: Define the purpose, goals, and scope of the project.
Activities:
- Identify project stakeholders and their requirements.
- Define project timelines and milestones.
- Develop a budget and allocate resources.
- Conduct a feasibility study.
Analysis
Objective: Understand and document the detailed requirements of the project.
Activities:
- Gather information about user needs and expectations.
- Create user personas and use cases.
- Analyze the existing systems (if any) and determine the
- necessary features and functionalities for the new system.
Design
Objective: Create a blueprint for the web application based on the gathered requirements.
Activities:
- Design the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX).
- Create wireframes and prototypes.
- Define the system architecture and database structure.
- Plan for security measures.
Development
Objective: Transform the design into actual code and build a functional web application.
Activities:
- Write code using programming languages and frameworks.
- Develop the database and integrate it with the application.
- Implement the designed UI/UX.
Testing
Objective: Ensure the quality and functionality
Activities:
- Perform unit testing to check individual components.
- Conduct integration testing to verify interactions between components.
- Carry out system testing to evaluate the entire application.
- Perform user acceptance testing (UAT) with stakeholders.
Implementation
Objective: Deploy the web application to the production environment.
Activities:
- Set up hosting and configure servers.
- Transfer the codebase and database to the production environment.
- Monitor and address any issues during the deployment process.
Maintenance
Objective: Sustain and improve the web application over time.
Activities:
- Provide ongoing support and troubleshooting.
- Make updates and enhancements based on user feedback.
- Monitor performance and security.
- Address bugs and apply patches as needed.
