System Analysis and Design
SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGNModule 1: Data and Information (3)
Types of information: operational, tactical, strategic and statutory – why do we needinformation systems – management structure – requirements of information at differentlevels of management – functional allocation of management – requirements of information for various functions – qualities of information – small case study.
Module 2: Systems Analysis and Design Life Cycle (3)
Requirements determination – requirements specifications – feasibility analysis – finalspecifications – hardware and software study – system design – system implementation –system evaluation – system modification. Role of systems analyst – attributes of asystems analyst – tools used in system analysis
Module 3: Information gathering (3)
Strategies – methods – case study – documenting study – system requirementsspecification – from narratives of requirements to classification of requirements asstrategic, tactical, operational and statutory. Example case study
Module 4: Feasibility analysis (3)
Deciding project goals – examining alternative solutions – cost – benefit analysis –quantifications of costs and benefits – payback period – system proposal preparation formanagements – parts and documentation of a proposal – tools for prototype creation
Module 5: Tools for systems analysts (3)
Data flow diagrams – case study for use of DFD, good conventions – leveling of DFDs –leveling rules – logical and physical DFDs – software tools to create DFDs
Module 6: Structured systems analysis and design (3)
Procedure specifications in structured English – examples and cases – decision tables forcomplex logical specifications – specification oriented design vs procedure orienteddesign
Module 7: Data oriented systems design (3)
Entity relationship model – E-R diagrams – relationships cardinality and participation –normalizing relations – various normal forms and their need – some examples of relational data base design.
