Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a process followed to develop and implement information systems. A software process provides the framework from which a comprehensive plan for software development can be established.

Within a traditional development life cycle, the implementation of the system is preceded by requirements definition, analysis, design, development, implementation and maintenance.

FDSC employs an iterative, incremental and agile engineering process to systems development. This software process model recognizes that software, like all complex systems, evolves over a period of time.
