JSD SDLC

The document describes the seven phases of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC): 1) Preliminary Investigation - Determine if a new system is needed to solve a problem. 2) Feasibility Study - Evaluate alternatives based on economic, technical, and operational feasibility. 3) System Analysis - Detailed study of operations and requirements specification. 4) System Design - Translate requirements into design specifications. 5) System Coding and Testing - Build the system and test it. 6) System Implementation - Convert from the old to new system and evaluate. 7) System Maintenance - Keep the system running with corrective, adaptive, and perfective maintenance.

What is SDLC


A Framework

That describes the activities performed

At each stage of

A software development project
Approaches to Audit of System Development
Process


Concurrent Audit

Postimplementation Audit

General Audit
Normative Models of the System
Development Process


System Development Life Cycle Approach

Sociotechnical Design Approach

Political Approach

Soft-systems Approach

Prototyping Approach

Contingency Approach
Phase-I
Preliminary Investigation
Phase-I
Preliminary

Tasks
What is the problem
Determine if a new system is needed
Whether an alternative system will solve the
problem
Results
Need for improving the existing system is
recognised
Possible
Impossible

Phase-II
Feasibility Study
Phase-II
Feasibility Study
Tasks
Evaluate alternatives based upon
Economic Feasibility-Do benefits justify costs-Net Present Value
Technical Feasibility-Is reliable technology and training available
Operational Feasibility-Will the management and users support it
Value anlaysis
Phase-3
System Analysis

Tasks
Detailed study of various operations
performed by the system
Studying the existing organisational history,
structure, and culture
Define boundaries of the candidate system
Data collection or data gathering
Phase-3
System Analysis

Tools
Data flow diagrams
Interviews
Onsite observations
Questionnaires
Data dictionaries
Phase-3
System Analysis

Results

SRS (Software Requirement Specification)
document is finalised which includes:
 Functional and non-functional requirements
 What the system will do and what it is not expected
to do
 Information about other systems with which system
must interface
Phase-4
System Design

Most creative and challenging phase

Translates the performance requirements into design
specifications
Tasks

How should the problem be solved

Organisational and job designs prepared

Information processing systems design

Design of the database

Design of the user interface

Physical design

Input data and master files are designed

Output formats are designed
Phase-4
System Design

Results
Detailed System Document
Procedural flowcharts
Record layouts
Report layouts
Workable plan for implementing candidate system
Phase-5
System Coding and Testing
Phase-5
System Coding and Testing

Build the system to the design specifications
 Develop the software
 Acquire the hardware
 Test the system for acceptance
 Program Testing (Unit testing)
 System Testing
 User Acceptance Testing
 Quality Assurance Testing
Phase-6
System Implementation
Phase-6
System Implementation

Covert from old system to new system

Compile final documentation

Evaluate the new system
Phase-6
System Implementation

Types of Conversion

Direct/plunge/crash approach-entire new system
completely replaces entire old system, in one step

Parallel approach-both systems are operated side
by side until the new system proves itself

Pilot approach-launched new system for only one
group within the business

Phased/incremental approach-individual parts of
new system are gradually phased-in over time
Phase-7
System Maintenance


Keeping everything running
Phase-7
System Maintenance

Types of Maintenance

Correction of new bugs found (corrective)

System adjustments to environmental changes
and users’ changing needs (adaptive)

Enhancing the performance, changes to use better
techniques when they become available
(perfective)
