The main function of a Software Development Life Cycle Model is to establish the order in which project specifications, prototypes, designs, implementation, reviews, tests and delivery performs its other activities.

The global demand for high quality, innovative products and services with quick go-to-market strategies and minimal investment has never been greater. According to a leading market research firm, software defects found in production cost four times as much to fix as those found during system testing and two hundred times as much to fix as those found during requirements definition. Ranklin understands the value of independent testing on parameters of applicability, functionality, and scalability in this scenario - for enterprise IT solutions as well as products. With heterogeneous technologies now converging to create products with footprints on diverse devices, testing is even more significant and challenging.
