Study Notes
Systems Analysis Phase
- Focuses on identifying problems and opportunities in the existing system, and defining the requirements for a new system.
System Requirements
- Define what the system must do to meet the needs of its users.
- Purpose is to specify the system's functional and non-functional requirements.
SDLC
- Stands for System Development Life Cycle.
Phase 2 in System Analysis
- Focuses on gathering data about the existing system and identifying the requirements for the new system.
Gathering Facts
- Objective is to understand the system's project and its requirements.
- Involves gathering data about the existing system, identifying the problems and opportunities, and defining the requirements for the new system.
Gathering Requirements
- Primary purpose is to identify the needs and expectations of the users and stakeholders.
- Involves collecting and documenting the requirements through various fact-finding techniques.
Types of Requirements
- Functional requirements are a statement of the services a system provides.
- Non-functional requirements are a statement of the constraints on the system.
Scalability
- Refers to the ability of a system to increase its capacity and performance in response to increased demand.
Fact-Finding Techniques
- Joint Application Development (JAD) brings users into the development process as active participants.
User Involvement
- Greater user involvement is considered important in the development process to ensure that the system meets the needs and expectations of its users.
- Involves active participation of users in the development process to ensure that the system is developed according to their requirements.
