    Study Notes

    Waterfall Model

    • First structured approach for system development, presented as a time-ordered list of necessary activities.
    • Stages include:
      • Feasibility study
      • Requirements analysis
      • System and software design
      • Coding and internal testing
      • Integration and external effectiveness testing
      • Maintenance

    Feasibility Study

    • Theoretical investigation assessing:
      • Necessity and objectives of the system.
      • Potential funding sources.
      • Added value and enhancements to the current system.
      • Cost-benefit analysis.

    Requirements Analysis

    • Specifies the problem, desired objectives, and constraints.
    • Explores relationships between system components.
    • Essential data collection methods include:
      • Questionnaires
      • Interviews
      • Observations
      • Documentary analysis

    System and Software Design

    • Translates specifications into software representation.
    • Main focuses:
      • Data structure and software architecture.
      • Detailed algorithms and interface representations.
    • Hardware requirements identified alongside overall system architecture.
    • Prototyping may help train future users early.

    Drawbacks of Prototyping

    • Rapid development can lead to poorly designed systems.
    • May lack global consideration of all components in complex designs.
    • Effective process management is critical to avoid extended prototyping duration.

    Rogers’ Model

    • Key elements include phases, tasks, and checkpoints (milestones) to track progress.
    • Phases outline broad tasks, while specific tasks have defined purposes.

    Stages of Rogers’ Model

    • Project Planning:

      • Defines project purpose, scope, stakeholders, and cost/benefit analysis.
      • Checkpoint: Terms of Reference and Project Plan agreed upon.

    • Requirements Analysis:

      • Establishes what the product should do.
      • Checkpoint: Agreed System Requirements Statement.

    • System Design:

      • Details how the product performs defined functions.
      • Checkpoint: System Design Specification, including logical and physical design.

    Design Phase

    • Defines physical construction, operating environment, major subsystems, and processes.
    • Requires user input and documentation at every step.
    • Detailed logic specifications for each software module are developed.

    Development Phase

    • Translates detailed specifications into actual hardware, communications, and executable software.
    • Involves systematic unit testing, integration, and retesting of components.

    Integration and Test Phase

    • Assembles hardware, ensuring the system operates effectively in real-world scenarios.
    • User tests confirm satisfaction of functional requirements.

    Database Management System (DBMS)

    • Software designed to store and manage large data sets, e.g., student information in registration databases.
    • Enables structured, efficient data management and retrieval.

    Traditional Approach for Information Systems (TAIS)

    • A file-oriented method with several disadvantages:
      • Data redundancy increases costs and system inefficiency.
      • Lack of data integration hinders interrelations.
      • Programs/data dependence complicates data management.
      • Limited flexibility due to pre-scheduled reporting.

    Advantages of DBMS

    • Elimination of data redundancy and improved data/program independence.
    • Effective user interface via query language.
    • Enhanced system security through administrative controls.

    Network Fundamentals

    • Systems interconnect computers and equipment for electronic communication.
    • Benefits include:
      • Improved response time and decision-making.
      • Facilitated data flow across organizations.
      • Enabled strategic alliances through networks.

    Telecommunications Network

    • Involves data transmission between devices at different locations.
    • Important for various business applications, enhancing communication efficiency.
