Putting Software Development, Systems Analysis and Design etc. into Context
Knowledge Required for System Construction • Hardware • Hardware & Software Systems, Computer Networks, Client-Server Systems • Programming • VB, C++, Java • Design • Human Computer Interface design • Systems Analysis • Structured (SSAT module) • Object Orientated (OOM module) • Other Uni modules?
Systems Design • design print, screen and paper form layouts • design file types and layouts • specify processing required by computer • specify processing required by people • specify processing components and links • specify system controls • design a test plan
Systems Analysis • analyse system requirements • specify what the system must do • decide on user training • decide manual and computer components • possibly decide on hardware and software required • possibly oversee new systems construction
Analysis, Design and Construction Analysis Design Construction
Software Engineering • feasibility study • analyse requirements • design new system • write new system software • test new system • train users • install new system • maintain system Software Engineering Design Analysis Construction
Objectives of a Business • Make profit/…./… and maximise profit/…/… • How? • Re-design product/service? • Re-locate? • Target different customer base? • Take-over competitors? • Personnel re-structuring? • Improve procedures via information systems.
The Business Software Engineering Analysis Design Construction
So………Software Development, Systems Analysis and Design etc are small building blocks – the PSAD module is to widen the horizons!Please ensure you do the independent study identified – it will be easier if done weekly (there’s too much to cram it all in before each assessment)
