What are the limitations of SDLC?

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) has several limitations, including its rigidity in following a linear process, which can hinder adaptability to changing requirements. It often assumes that all requirements can be gathered upfront, which may not reflect the dynamic nature of software development. Additionally, SDLC can lead to lengthy development times and delayed feedback, as testing typically occurs later in the process. Finally, it may not adequately address the complexities of modern agile environments where iterative development and continuous integration are essential.
