Topics to include.. • WHAT IS SAD? • NEED FOR SAD • ROLE OF THE SYSTEM ANALYST • QUALITIES OF SYSTEM • CHARACTERISTICS • FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS • IMPORTANT CONCEPTS
WHAT IS SAD? System: A set of detailed methods, procedures and routines established to carry out specific activity, solve a problem or to perform a duty. System Analysis: The survey and planning. The study and analysis. The definition. System Design: The process of defining the architecture, components, modules, interfaces and data for a system. BACK
NEED FOR SAD • Installing a system without proper planning leads to great user dissatisfaction and frequently cause the system to fall into disuse. • Lends structure to the analysis and design of information systems. BACK
ROLE OF THE SYSTEM ANALYST • The analyst plays a key role in information systems development projects. • Must understand how to apply technology to solve business problem. BACK
QUALITIES OF SYSTEM ANALYST • Communicator • Strong Personal and Professional Ethics • Self Disciplined and Self Motivated BACK
CHARACTERISTICS OF SYSTEM • A component: • An irreducible part or aggregation of parts that make up a system, also called a subsystem • Interrelated components: • Dependence of one subsystem on one or more subsystems • Boundary: • The line that marks the inside and outside of a system and that sets off the system form its environment
Purpose • The overall goal or function of a system • Environment • Everything external to a system that interacts with the system • Interface • Point of contact where a system meets its environment or where subsystems meet each other. BACK
FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS • Technical Feasibility: Can we build it? • Economic Feasibility: Should we build it? • Organizational Feasibility: If we build it, will they come? BACK
IMPORTANT SYSTEM CONCEPTS • There are several other system concepts with which systems analysts need to become familiar: • Decomposition • Modularity • Coupling • Cohesion
Decomposition: The process of breaking down a system into smaller component. Modularity: Dividing a system up into chunks or modules of a relatively uniform size. To Simplify the redesign and rebuild process. Coupling: The extend to which subsystems depend on each other. Cohesion : A cohesion is the extent to which a subsystem performs a single function. BACK
SUMMARY • Information is a key source. • System analysts deal with many types of information systems. • Qualities of SA. • The SDLC. • Feasibility Analysis. BACK
