Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC): End-to-End Overview

Understanding pitfalls helps reduce errors and project delays.

Common Pitfalls:

1. Poor Requirement Understanding: Leads to incorrect implementation.

2. Skipping Unit Testing: Bugs propagate to later stages.

3. Ignoring Coding Standards: Code becomes difficult to maintain.

4. Overcomplicating Code: Complex solutions may introduce errors.

5. Version Control Misuse: Lost changes, conflicts, or overwrites.

6. Dependency Issues: Using outdated or incompatible libraries.

7. Neglecting Documentation: Harder for team members to understand code.

How to Avoid:

• Regularly sync with project requirements.
• Follow coding standards and review processes.
• Write tests alongside code.
• Use automated tools to manage dependencies and code quality.
