Chapter 1: The Systems Development Environment - Learning Objectives
- Define information systems analysis and design
- Describe the information Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
- Describe agile methodologies, eXtreme programming, and Scrum
- Explain object-oriented analysis and design and the Rational Unified Process (RUP)
Chapter 1: Introduction
- Definition of information systems analysis and design: A complex, challenging, and simulating organizational process used by business and systems professionals to develop and maintain information systems
- Application Software: Designed to support organizational functions and processes
- Systems Analyst: Organizational role responsible for analysis and design of information systems
Chapter 1: Software Engineering Process
- Consists of methodologies, techniques, and tools
- Methodologies: Comprehensive, multiple-step approaches for developing information systems
- Techniques: Processes that ensure thorough and comprehensive analysis and design
- Tools: Computer programs that aid in applying techniques
Chapter 1: Introduction (Cont.)
- Systems analysis and design are driven by methodologies, techniques, and tools.
- Methods focus on the Internet and firm intranets/extranets
- Three-tier design: Database on one server, application on another server, and client logic on user machines
- Wireless system components, continuing trend toward assembling systems from off-the-shelf components
Chapter 1: Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
- Standard process in organizations to analyze, design, implement, and maintain information systems
- Traditional methodology for developing, maintaining and replacing information systems
- Features several phases that mark progress
- A circular process (with useful life leading to another start), often iterative
- Can return to a previous phase as needed
Chapter 1: Phases in SDLC
- Initiation (System Concept Development)
- Planning (Requirements Analysis)
- Analysis
- Design
- Implementation (Development, Integration and Test, Implementation)
- Maintenance (Operation and Maintenance, Disposition)
Chapter 1: Standard and Evolutionary Views of SDLC
- Figure 1-3: Systems development life cycle (standard model)
- Figure 1-4: Evolutionary model
Chapter 1: Major Activities in the five phases of SDLC
- Planning: Identifying system need, analyzing needs, prioritizing, determining scope, developing project plan
- Analysis: Studying system requirements (user input), requirements careful study of current systems (manual and computerized) and outputting alternate solutions.
- Design: Converting solution to logical and physical specifications, independent of hardware and software platform. Logical design and physical design.
- Implementation: Coding, testing, installing, and supporting the system in the organization. New systems become daily activities
- Maintenance: Repairing, improving and adapting the system based on changing organization needs
Chapter 1: Problems with Waterfall Approach
- Single direction, difficult to go back, expensive changes. Role of users narrowly defined. Focus on deadlines
Chapter 1: Different Approaches to Improve Development
- Agile Methodologies
- eXtreme Programming
- Scrum
- Rational Unified Process (RUP)
Chapter 1: Agile Methodologies
- Motivated by recognizing software development as fluid, unpredictable, and dynamic
- Emphasize adaptive processes, people, and collaboration over plans and documents
- Key Principles: Adaptive, emphasize people, self-adaptive processes
Chapter 1: eXtreme Programming
- Short, incremental development cycles
- Focus on automated tests
- Two-person programming teams
- Client involvement in monitoring the development process
- Design specifications fused into a single phase
- Unique way of capturing and presenting system requirements and specifications
- Coding and testing are related components
Chapter 1: Scrum
- Popular agile methodology
- Framework includes Scrum teams, roles, events, and artifacts
Chapter 1: Scrum (Continued)
- Designed for speed & multiple functional product releases
- Primary unit is the Sprint (2 weeks or a month)
- Starts with an eight hour planning meeting (defining what is needed & how the work will be accomplished)
- Daily Standup: 15-minute meetings held to evaluate progress in past 24 hours
- Sprint Review: (4 hours) to focus on product, what's accomplished, & needs
- Sprint Retrospective: (3 hours) focus on team performance & improvement
- Primary artifacts are Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, & Increment
Chapter 1: Agile in Practice
- Delivery strategy: Continuous delivery of working software
- Following agile software engineering practices
- Team capability: Building projects around motivated individuals
Chapter 1: Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD)
- Based on objects rather than data or processes
- Combines data and processes into single entities called objects
Chapter 1: Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD - Continued)
- Object: Data & Operations
- Inheritance: Subclasses inherit from superclasses
- Object Class: Logical grouping of objects with common attributes and behaviors
Chapter 1: Rational Unified Process (RUP)
- Object-oriented systems development methodology
- Iterative and incremental approach to systems development
- Four phases: Inception, Elaboration, Construction, Transition
Chapter 1: Summary
- Learn how to: define information systems analysis and design, describe the information Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC), describe agile methodologies, eXtreme programming and Scrum, explain object-oriented analysis and design and the Rational Unified Process (RUP)
