WHAT IS SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT FUNDAMENTALS?

System development is the process of dividing software development work into smaller, parallel sub-processes to
define, design, test and improve the old system by implementing a new and improved system with an emphasis on
the user experience. During this process it is crucial to have the user in mind during the designing of the new
system.

In this process there are 7 crucial steps to follow in order to complete the system development
cycle and those steps are as follows:

• Planning stage.
• Requirements analysis stage.
• Design & prototyping stage.
• Software testing stage.
• Implementing and integration stage.
• Operations and maintenance stage.

It is crucial to follow this life cycle during any implementation of a system as small as a website to e-commerce
sites and even more complex and involved systems with multiple functionalities.
