Software Development Life Cycle
• SDLC is a framework defining tasks performed at each step in the software
development process.
• SDLC is a structure followed by a development team within the software
organization.
• A Life Cycle Model defines phases , milestone, deliverables and evaluation
criteria for software development process.
• Various SDLC methodologies have been developed to guide the process
involved.

Requirement Analysis
From deliverables such as Feasibility Report, Cost Benefit Analysis, Risk
Assessment, Business Use Cases, Vision Document the Requirement Analysis
phase is carried out which includes :
Elicitation,
Validation,
Specification and
Verification
Deliverables of Requirement Analysis Phase:
• Functional Specification Document
• Software Specification Document
• User Requirement Document
• Use Case Specification
• Addendum

Role of BA in Requirement Analysis
• Requirements Gathering - Workshop Facilitation, Interviews, Observation,
Research.
• Requirements Documentation - Business Requirements document,
Requirements Traceability document, Functional & Non Functional
Requirements documents.
• This is where the BA will also use their modeling skills to document business
requirements.
• Requirements Validation & Prioritization activities.
• Stakeholder Engagement.

Design Phase
In this phase the detailed functional requirements created will be
transformed into complex detailed system design including screen layouts,
business rules, process diagrams and other documents.
Deliverables of Design Phase:
• Design Document
• Technical Design Specification

8. Page 8Classification: Restricted
Role of BA in Design Phase
• Review the solution documents.
• Work closely with solution designer and architects to ensure requirements
are clear.
• Keep the stakeholder engaged to reassure them their requirements are
implemented as specified in the business requirement artifacts. In some
projects, such as Agile projects, this part of the iteration will have close
involvement of stakeholders right through the SDLC.
• Manage the changes to requirements both from the business and from your
solution designer’s point of view through a change control process. It is a
great time to actively start using the Requirements Traceability Matrix.

Development Phase
In this phase the Developers convert a complete design into an information
system.
Reproducible code.

Role of BA in Development Phase
• The Business Analyst’s role is lighter during this phase. In small teams it can
happen that the BA is asked to clarify requirements or in Agile projects the
BA will be asked to review prototypes.

11. Page 11Classification: Restricted
Testing Phase
Demonstrates that the developed system confirm to requirements as
specified in the Functional Specification Document. Conducted by QA team
and BA support, if needed.
Deliverables of Testing Phase:
• Test Plan
• Test Strategy
• Test Scripts
• Test Cases

12. Page 12Classification: Restricted
Role of BA in Testing Phase
• During the testing phase the Business Analyst can assist with reviewing test
scripts to ensure all functional requirements are being tested.
• A business analyst will also get involved with defect prioritization in some
projects.

Release and Maintenance
• Includes the preparation of the system into a production environment and
resolution of problems identified in the test phases and ready to be
released at client site.
• Training manuals.
• Maintenance includes post implementation problems and add on request
by the client.
Deliverables :
• The Software Application.
• Test Case and Reports.

Current Trends in Business Analysis
• Don’t expect to get all the requirements upfront.
• Focus more on Business Analysis
• Focus on adding the business value
• Adoption of professional BA approach
• More communication
• Building better business cases
• Its always plus to be bit technical
