Software Development Life Cycle: SDLC phases and best practices

The Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) is a methodology that provides a structured process for developing high-quality software in a timely and cost-effective manner. The SDLC outlines software development as a series of tasks, creating a management framework focused on efficiency and quality. Software development is a tightly interwoven process that balances costs, deadlines, and capabilities.

Web Development Meets Cybersecurity: A Guide to Building Resilient Applications

Web applications are central to modern business operations, from retail and finance to education and healthcare. They provide users with seamless access to services and information, making them indispensable tools for organizations and consumers alike. However, this widespread reliance on web applications has also made them a prime target for cyberattacks. Cybercriminals exploit vulnerabilities in poorly developed or inadequately secured applications to steal sensitive data, disrupt operations, or damage reputations.

The high stakes of SDLC compliance: Lessons from EVE Online's battle of B-R5RB and Equifax

n our previous exploration of The Punchcard Paradigm, we traced the roots of modern compliance practices back to the early days of computing. We saw how the physical constraints of punchcards shaped programming practices and how those practices lingered long after the technology had evolved. Now, let’s dive deeper into why modern compliance is more critical than ever in today’s digital landscape.

The New Era of Autonomous Debugging: Transforming the SDLC

The software world is changing rapidly due to advancements in GenAI. These technologies are disrupting traditional processes and driving automation across every part of the SDLC. The market for AI code tools is estimated to reach $30 billion by 2032. It started with code generation, then moved to testing, QA, automatic pull requests, and beyond.

How to Build Resilience Throughout Your SDLC Lessons from a Top 10 Bank

Are your applications as reliable as you planned? How do you know? The only way to ensure systems are resilient to common failure conditions is to test them, yet many large enterprises struggle with the effort and expense to do so. In this webinar, Anantha Movva, a former head of SRE and Performance Engineering at one of the top 10 North American banks, will share how he drove Chaos Engineering and resilience testing adoption throughout his organization.

Why we've open sourced our secure SDLC process template

One of the big things we’ve learned since starting Kosli is that engineers often struggle to define an SDLC for compliance purposes. That doesn’t mean they don’t know how to deliver secure, quality software. They’ve just never had to actually define a process for how they do it. Perfectly capable engineers can spend years shipping great products and features without ever having to properly define and standardize their SDLC.

SDLC vs PDLC: Understanding the Differences of the Development Life Cycle

A software development project's success depends on the methodologies of the Product Development Life Cycle (PDLC) and Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), which are used to manage the process of creating and delivering software products. A framework for overseeing the many phases of software development, from conception to release, is offered by both the PDLC and SDLC.

Where to automate resilience testing in your SDLC

When organizations begin to deploy resilience testing or Chaos Engineering, there’s a natural question: can we integrate this with our CI/CD pipeline or release automation tools? After all, you’re likely running unit, performance, and integration tests already—is resiliency different? The short answer is yes—to both. Integration is possible, but resiliency is different, so automation is a nuanced conversation.

How to prove your SDLC is being followed for compliance with medical standards like IEC 62304

If you’re part of a software engineering team in digital health, medtech, medical devices, Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), etc. you have to comply with regulatory standards. And one of the biggest challenges engineering leads have in this sector is figuring out what they have to do to achieve software delivery compliance.
