2. Design: Software architects and developers design the software based on the provided software request specification.
3. Implementation: Developers take the design documentation and develop the code according to that design. At the conclusion of this phase, functional code that implements customer requirements  is ready to be tested.
4. Testing:  Test engineers take the code and install it into the testing environment so they can follow the test plan.
5. Deployment: The software is installed into the production environment.
