Software development lifecycle (SDLC) events

Software development lifecycle events are used to describe various stages throughout the lifecycle of a software component.

Such events can include, but are not limited to

  • CI/CD pipeline events
  • Task events emitted from a CI/CD pipeline
  • Task events occurring outside a CI/CD pipeline

SDLC build finished task event

The event name MUST be SDLC build finished task event.
