What do you mean by SDLC and STLC? What are the different phases of SDLC and STLC? Differentiate between both of them.

Different phases of developing and testing a project
Hi Ritika28!
SDLC means SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE while STLC means SOFTWARE TESTING LIFE CYCLE. SDLC has 6 stages namely: Requirement, Analysis, Design, Implementation, Testing, and Evaluation. On the other hand, STLC has 6 stages as well: Test Planning, Test Development, Test Implementation, Test Result Analysis, Test Bug Tracking, and Test Reporting.
STLC is basically related with SDLC because STLC is just a part of SDLC's Testing Phase. Meaning, STLC focuses on the different phases in testing the software while SDLC modifies the entire process of creating the whole software development. SDLC is dependent with STLC since it will not proceed to the next stage without the result from STLC.
Different phases of developing and testing a project
Hi Ritika,
SDLC stands for Software Development Life Cycle. It consists of a sequence of stages like Requirement Analysis, Design, Coding, Testing, Implementation, Deployment and Maintenance. This is a process framework which is followed by developers to develop software.
It starts from getting requirements from the client, analysing it, coming up with a suitable software design, developing, testing it for bugs and deploying the software in the client place. Once the software is deployed, it is maintained by fixing bugs which comes up in the future.

STLC stands for Software Testing Life Cycle. It is a process framework which consists of different stages involved in testing a software product. It includes Test Planning, Test Analysis, Test Design, Test Execution, Bug Reporting, Defect Tracking and Maintenance Testing.

Even though SDLC & STLC are meant for Development & Testing respectively, it happens parallel.
