System Life
Make a weekly plan, fill in each task and then check them off as the week advances.
Evaluation
This phase identifies whether the system meets the initial requirements and objectives. This is when the system is evaluated for weaknesses. The objective of the evaluation phase of the systems development life cycle is to deploy the system and train the system end users.

Implementation
Thursday
Happy Thursday! Hang in there, Friday will come before you know it. Think back to all the tasks scheduled for this week and see what else is left for today.
Implementation includes user notification, user training, installation of hardware, installation of software onto production computers, and integration of the system into daily work processes. This phase continues until the system is operating in production in accordance with the defined user requirements.
Normal test data is used to check that a system can handle the sort of data that would be expected during day-to-day use
Extreme test data is used to check that a system can cope with data that lies on the boundaries of what is acceptable
Erroneous (or exceptional) test data is used to check that a system can identify data that is wrong and reject it
Develoment and testing
Wednesday
Wednesdays are like Mondays in the middle of the week, they say. You're halfway through the week, see what plans you have set for today.
The full form SDLC is Software Development Life Cycle or Systems Development Life Cycle. Testing is the next phase which is conducted to verify that the entire application works according to the customer requirement.

Analysis
Monday
A fresh start, a clean slate, and a lot of potential for great things to come. That is what Mondays really are!
Begin your week with a good plan in mind and follow the guidelines to organize the week ahead.
During the analysis stage systems analysts investigate the existing system to identify exactly what the problems are with the existing system.
