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.

Survey: What's Slowing Progress Towards Engineering OKRs?

To ensure progress towards this ideal state, OKRs (objectives and key results) are often used to create tangible goalposts along the way. For engineering teams, these objectives often take two forms: But all of these programs involve moving from one state to another. As simple as that sounds, the act of doing so, successfully, has become incredibly challenging. Just understanding current state requires a ton of manual effort: Who owns what? What needs to change? Who’s going to do it?

GenAI: A New Paradigm for Problem-Solving with Undefined Inputs

Traditional programming is built around well-defined inputs and deterministic logic. Developers write functions that take structured inputs, apply a predefined set of operations, and return a structured output. This model works well when the input space is predictable, but it struggles with problems where inputs are ambiguous, unstructured, or constantly evolving.

Inside Perspectives: Database technology - 25 years and beyond

The relational database industry has changed a lot in 25 years. Find out how these changes have impacted the role of a DBA, and the industry as a whole, with Redgate Advocate Kellyn Gorman. Over the past 25 years, the relational database industry has experienced a dramatic transformation. With Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL as foundational technologies, these databases have evolved in response to the emergence of big data, NoSQL, cloud computing, and, most recently, AI.

The Power of Evidence Collection and Release Lifecycle Management

The speed of today’s software development lifecycle is only getting faster. However, the complexity of today’s pipelines make it hard to track and manage the processes software releases must go through. With increasing regulatory pressures, ensuring and proving your software has gone through the necessary quality controls is no longer nice to have – it has become a necessity.
