IT6209 SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
INVESTIGATION REPORT ASSIGNMENT 1 2011 [ 1 ]
An Abstract
Rational Unified Process (RUP) methodology is a software engineering tool which compounds development aspects such as manuals, documents, codes, models, etc. with the procedural aspects of development such as techniques, mechanics, defined stages, and practices within a unified framework. This report has 4 major section of defining RUP, current status of RUP, how RUP used for development of School Management Information System and lastly the future direction for RUP.
After surfing around the net, that my main source of information I went to Tupou Tertiary Institute library to borrow few books and journal for more information such I borrowed UML A beginner’s Guide by Jason T. Roff and System analysis and design in changing world(4 rd Ed) by Satzinger, J. W, Jackson, R. B. & Burd, S. D (2007)
An Introduction
To develop a School Management Information System for an organization is not an easy job to do. Because if we straightly built and develop that system, maybe we end up at the hospital or we end up with problem to that system. So we have to ask ourselves some questions such as is there any easier way for development of that system ?, or Is there any methodology that we can use to tackle down this situation.
For answering for those questions, yes there are lots of methodologies and model available to develop that system right away. In this given task, I choose Rational Unified Process methodology for development of given School Management Information System including sub-system of Student Registration Management (RRM), Human-Resources Management (HRM) and Finance Department. In this report, I would like to present out of how RUP help to develop School Management IS.
