StrikeSDLC

The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is the process of creating or altering systems and the end-to-end methodologies for developing these systems. The StrikeSDLC Solutions Suite is a framework for planning and controlling system creation and its development process. It encompasses how business systems analysts gather requirements, document them, and build test cases (StrikeAnalysis), how project managers manage the project, its budget and milestones (StrikeGov), how developers manage the development change and size it (the SDLC methodology), the testing of the system changes (StrikeTest), and the overall management of the changes and components (StrikeCM). StrikeSDLC also encompasses the information technology elements of SAS70 and SOX404 compliance (StrikeAudit). A StrikeSDLC certified organization can effectively handle the core Information technology trouble areas of compliance, project management, business analysis, testing, configuration management, and software development.
