什么是软件生命周期？

What is the 'software life cycle'?
The life cycle begins when an application is first conceived and ends when it is no longer in use. It includes aspects such as initial concept, requirements analysis, functional design, internal design, documentation planning, test planning, coding, document preparation, integration, testing, maintenance, updates, retesting, phase-out, and other aspects.

软件的生命周期是从构思开始一直到软件不再使用为止。它包括原始模型、需求分析、功能
设计、详细设计、文档编写计划、测试计划、代码、文档准备、集成、测试、维护、升级、
回归测试、逐渐停用和其它方面。
