Full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Solutions
The software development life cycle (SDLC) is the entire process of formal, logical steps taken to develop a software product. Mantra provides services to cater all phases of SDLC. Many traditional service providers that are location bound find it harder to participate in early phases of SDLC such as Conceptualization, but Mantra has no such limitations.
The phases of SDLC can vary somewhat but generally include the following. Note that Mantra works with customer on all these phases for a successful product delivery:

There are several methodologies or models that can be used to guide the software development lifecycle. The right methodology depends on various factors, primarily what customer's in-house development environment is. Mantra teams have experience with all these development methodologies. We can either adapt to the one that you are currently using, or select one during the initial knowledge gathering phase. Some of these development methodologies include:
- Linear or Waterfall model (which was the original SDLC method)
- Rapid Application Development (RAD)
- Joint Application Development (JAD)
- Agile Development
- Prototyping model
- Fountain model
- Spiral model
- Build and fix
- Synchronize-and-stabilize
Usually a few models are combined into a hybrid methodology to make the best fit for the project.
