The Systems Development Environment refers to the comprehensive framework within which software and systems are conceived, developed, tested, and maintained. It includes a combination of methodologies, tools, technologies, and practices designed to ensure efficient and effective development processes. This environment supports the entire systems development life cycle (SDLC), encompassing phases such as planning, analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance. The environment also includes collaboration between stakeholders like developers, project managers, and end-users, as well as the use of software development methodologies like Agile, Waterfall, or DevOps. By integrating these elements, the systems development environment ensures that projects are delivered on time, within budget, and meet quality standards while addressing user requirements.
