What is the purpose of the software design cycle?

To create an outline for the development and maintenance of a software.
To create a cost-benefit analysis for a software program.
To guide software professionals throughout the life cycle of the software.
To create a timeline for the development of a software program.

The correct answer is: To guide software professionals throughout the life cycle of the software.

The purpose of the software design cycle is to provide a framework and guide for software professionals to follow throughout the entire life cycle of a software. This includes all aspects of planning, development, testing, and maintenance. Option A is incorrect because while the design cycle does involve creating an outline, it is only one part of the overall process. Option B is incorrect because a cost-benefit analysis is just one component of the design cycle, not its main purpose. Option D is incorrect because the design cycle is more comprehensive than just creating a timeline, as it involves various stages and processes.
