This software is created using a software development process known as the software life cycle. The phases a software product goes through between when it is conceived and when it is no longer available for use. The software life-cycle typically includes the following: requirements analysis, design, construction, testing (validation), installation, operation, maintenance, and retirement. The development process tends to run iteratively through these phases rather than linearly; several models (iterative, waterfall etc.) have been proposed to describe this process.
