Study Notes

Software Development Process

The stage focused on gathering and documenting requirements is called Requirements Gathering.
The purpose of information gathering in software development is to collect data and information about the problem domain.

Information Gathering Techniques

Not a technique for information gathering is prototyping.
Interviewing is a technique for information gathering.
After conducting interviews with users and stakeholders, a Business Analyst should document the findings and identify gaps in the requirements.
If additional information is needed after the initial interview, a Business Analyst should conduct follow-up interviews or surveys.
The purpose of preparing detailed questions for interviewing users and stakeholders is to ensure that all necessary information is gathered.
The focus of the theme in requirements gathering called 'What is the information that you would like to get?' is to identify the desired outputs.

Systems Analysis and Design

The stage of the software development process responsible for systems design is called Systems Design.
Not a type of model used in systems analysis and design is flowchart.
