ssdl-dev is a group ad I have it defined under ROOT.
You need to prefix it with %, then, which tells sudoers that it's a group and not a user.

when I save it and exit it tells me there's an error in the script.
It contains a relative path, which is also wrong. I'd be shocked if it allowed relative paths, since that's a blank cheque to run anything with that name with root permissions!
I repeat: Give sudo the absolute path. And run it with the absolute path.

Regarding chmod 777 could you please explain me what's the difference between having a single file in chmod 777 and give to your user the sudo ability to run the same program?
The user it runs under, for one thing. 'chmod 777' doesn't let a normal user run a program as another user.
It does allow any user whatsoever to modify the file, though! If people are running it as root, you can see why this is a bad idea -- anyone could modify the script into something malicious for anyone else to blunder along and run as root!
You should learn what the UNIX file permissions actually mean, not treat everything with the sledgehammer 777.
