Stages of Developing Information Systems
System Development Cycle or System Life Cycle - understanding the problem—identifying the requirements of a system that would solve the problem
- making decisions—determining the feasibility of a new system to solve the problem
- designing solutions—creating the new system
- implementing—using the system to solve the problem
- testing, evaluating and maintaining—the ongoing operation of the system.
