There are four fundamental phases in most, if not all methodologies, namely analysis, design, implementation, and testing.

• The Analysis Phase
  • Things
  • Actions
  • States
  • Typical Scenarios
  • Atypical Scenarios
  • Incomplete and Non-Monotonic Requirements
• The Design Phase
  • Architecture
  • Implementation Plan
  • Critical Priority Analysis
  • Performance Analysis
  • Test Plan
• The Implementation Phase
  • Critical Error Removal
• Testing
  • Regression Test
  • Internal Testing
  • Unit Testing
  • Application Testing
  • Stress Testing
