Hi,
I am wondering what is the correct way of writing the term lifecycle (or is it life-cycle or life cycle) in the context of the systems development lifecycle or a software lifecycle etc.
I have seen the three options lifecycle, life-cycle and life cycle used, although it seems that if popularity is an indicator then life cycle is the correct term.
Please advise...
Best regards,
Tom.
PS Is there a difference between US English and UK English for this?
