The implementation phase is the fourth phase of the system development life cycle. This phase is refers to as the decisive moment. All the work that has been done up to this point to bring an idea to realty is coming to life. This phase is most expensive and time-consuming of the previous three phases. The work done in this phase is tedious, and requires the strictest focus to the attention of detail. The major activities involved in this area are coding, testing, installation, documentation, training, and support. The purpose for this these activities are to transform the work from the previous phase into a physical working system that can process the specific task for the information management office for which it was created. This phase requires the coordination and cooperation of many people. The system analyst cannot conduct all the work alone. The first step involves coding. Coding is process of converting writing computer language that tells the system the commands to perform when certain commands are given. As the coding process being, the process of testing is also taking place as well. When coding is written, it must pass validation or the computer will not understand the language and the expect program will not perform to standard. Many strategies are available for testing validation; the size of the system dictates which is best. Throughout the system development life cycle, software testing was taking place after certain events to ensure the preliminary creation was on track. During analysis the overall test plan was developed. In the design phase, the unit test, integration test plan, and a system test plan was developed. Inspections are formal group activities that perform manually to find obvious errors such as syntax and
