Embedded product development life cycle (EDLC)


Embedded product development life cycle is a problem solving approach used in embedded product development. The idea employed here is a simple ANALYSIS-DESIGN-IMPLEMENTATION. Analysis is a step where we figure out the desired product which is to be developed. In the design stage, construction or building of product is the main concern. In the implementation stage, development of the product is being done. EDLC is essential for understanding the scope and complexity of the work involved in any embedded development. EDLC promotes interaction between various sectors like project management, system design, system testing, quality assurance and release management. In the commercial language, aim of an embedded product ultimately is a good return on investment. EDLC normally contains 9 phases. They are need, conceptualization, analysis, design, development and testing, deployment, support, upgrades and disposal. The various approaches used in EDLC are linear or water fall model, iterative or fountain model, prototyping model and spiral model.
