Analysis: Systems and Design (SAD II)

This document provides an overview of a Systems Analysis and Design course. The course aims to introduce software used by analysts and designers for project management, system analysis, documentation, design, and implementation. It will cover topics such as systems analysis, design, concepts, characteristics, life cycles, and the analysis and design phases of development. The goal is to understand what information systems should do and how to implement system parts through proven techniques used widely in industry.

Course Objectives:
 This course aims to as to introduce variety of new
software used by analysts, designers to manage
projects, analyze and document systems, design new
systems and implement their plans. It introduces also
a recent coverage of UML
Course Contents
What is Systems Analysis and
Design (SAD)?

 Systems Analysis: understanding and specifying in detail what an


information system should do
 System Design: specifying in detail how the parts of an information
system should be implemented
Why is it important?
 Success of information systems depends on good SAD
 Widely used in industry - proven techniques
 Part of career growth in IT - lots of interesting and well-paying jobs!
 Increasing demand for systems analysis skills
System’s Concepts
SYSTEM THEORY:

Systems theory means identifying the following elements, and find a


physical or logical relationship between them( following elements) :

 system and its components.

 system environment.

 users of the system.

 The life cycle of the system.


Cont..
 The system:

Is a set of units that working together to achieve specific


objectives and each unit it itself a stand-alone system.

 Information :
Is data that have been processed for use in decision support or
increased knowledge.

 processing :

Mean , collection , storage, retrieval, sort, classify, search,


encryption, (mathematical calculations and computing), organize,
view, send, receive, update, delete, maintenance, coding data ... etc..
Defining A System

 A collection of components that work together to realize some


objective forms a system. Basically there are three major
components in every system, namely input, processing and output.

system’s characteristics

 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 th
system form its environment

12
system’s characteristics
 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.

13
system’s characteristics

 Constraint
A limit to what a system can accomplish
 Input
Whatever a system takes from its environment in order to fulfill its purp
 Output
Whatever a system returns from its environment in order to fulfill its
purpose

14
Life cycle of the system
Cont..
 The main points to be discussed in system analysis are:

◦ Specification of what the new system is to accomplish based on the user


requirements.
◦ Functional hierarchy showing the functions to be performed by the new
system and their relationship with each other.
1. Function network which are similar to function hierarchy but they highlight
the those functions which are common to more thaThe problem:
Recognition of the problem
Definition of the problem
◦ (Determine the objectives required in the new system in general.)
initial cost estimating
◦ Include the cost of solve the problem in general
initial approval
Decide to continue or delay
◦ n one procedure.
◦ List of attributes of the entities - these are the data items which need to
be held about each entity (record)

2. Analysis:

Analysis of processes and procedures :
Analysis of hardware and software:
Feasibility study:
Study and analysis of alternatives:
Documentation analysis:

3. Design:
Study document analysis
Design input
Design output
Design procedures
Design files
Software design
Documentation Design (end of the design
phase & beginning of the implementation
phase).
