Stages in the application development process

I've heard terms like "deployment" and "production" applied to the development process. What are the usual stages and what do they involve ?

Deployment: Taking compiled code and making it run on an application server

Production: the environment (servers etc.) that serve the application to the end user

The stages are:

  1. Business Requirements Analysis - gathering info about what the user wants
  2. Technical analysis - a high level overview of how the components will work
  3. Development - writing code
  4. Testing - checking that all works well
  5. Deployment

In reality these don't happen in a strict sequence, there is often some iteration back and forth. This is usually implied by what are known as Agile development methods.

I guess there is no single answer for that, but Wikipedia lists these as possible development stages:

  • Market research
  • Gathering requirements for the proposed business solution
  • Analyzing the problem
  • Devising a plan or design for the software-based solution
  • Implementation (coding) of the software
  • Testing the software
  • Deployment
  • Maintenance and bug fixing

Depending on the academic paper you read, different stages will be highlighted (though many are common). Wikipedia has a couple of useful pages for you:
