Complete Guide: Software Development & AI-Powered Acceleration
1. Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
1. Requirement Gathering & Analysis:
- Understand client needs.
- Create SRS (Software Requirement Specification).
- Define user stories and use cases.
2. Planning:
- Define scope, time, cost, and resources.
- Choose technology stack.
- Prepare timeline or sprint plans.
3. Design:
- UI/UX using Figma or Adobe XD.
- Architecture: Monolithic or Microservices.
- Database Schema & Flow Diagrams.
4. Development:
- Frontend (React, Angular, etc.)
- Backend ([Link], Django, etc.)
- Integrate version control using Git.
5. Testing:
- Unit, Integration, System, and UAT.
- Tools: Jest, Selenium, Mocha, etc.
6. Deployment:
- Deploy to AWS, Netlify, Vercel, etc.
- Use CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Jenkins.
7. Maintenance & Updates:
