Principles and Learning Objectives
(continued)
• Systems development often uses different approaches and tools such as traditional development, prototyping, rapid application development, end-user development, computeraided software engineering, and object-oriented development to select, implement, and monitor projects – Discuss the use of computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools and the object-oriented approach to systems development
– Discuss the key features, advantages, and disadvantages of the traditional, prototyping, rapid application development, and end-user systems development life cycles
Information Systems Essentials, Sixth Edition
Principles and Learning Objectives
(continued)
• Designing new systems or modifying existing ones should always be aimed at helping an organization achieve its goals
– State the purpose of systems design and discuss the differences between logical and physical systems design – Discuss the use of environmental design in the systems development process
Information Systems Essentials, Sixth Edition
• Systems development starts with investigation and analysis of existing systems
– State the purpose of systems investigation
– Discuss the importance of performance and cost objectives – State the purpose of systems analysis and discuss some of the tools and techniques used in this phase of systems development
