Categorize the development phases that exist within the system engineering and software development disciplines of the development process framework. 

• Describe the similarities that exist among the phases of system engineering and software development. Explain how phases under each discipline complement one another to provide an efficient solution. Determine which discipline would be optimal for Web development, cloud computing, and security systems. Support your answer with a specific rationale or illustration.
