ITC412 System Analysis PG (8)
CSU Discipline Area: Computing (COMPU)
Duration: One session
Abstract:
This subject provides students with an opportunity to examine system analysis and design techniques within a business perspective. This includes knowledge and skills in feasibility analysis, logical design and development of business systems. More specifically, the object oriented methodology using the Unified Modelling Language is used as an approach for designing and building relevant systems. In addition, the structured systems modelling techniques are used to fulfill the requirements of business models. The students will get in-depth knowledge and experience of various advance systems analysis techniques and business modelling aspects that lead up to system design and implementation.

Not available to students who have completed ITC211
Objectives:
Upon successful completion of this subject, students should:
- be able to describe the context of an information system;
- be able to compare and contrast the different methodologies of systems analysis and evaluate their appropriateness for different and complex situations;
- be able to distinguish between requirement gathering techniques and combine these appropriately to apply to a real scenario;
- be able to evaluate development requirements and prepare a feasibility proposal based on multi-disciplinary (financial, human resource, technological) analyses;
- be able to formulate and justify system requirement models based on evaluation of given situations;
- be able to assemble the components of a requirements model using the tools and techniques of object oriented or structured systems modelling.
Syllabus:
The subject will cover the following topics:
- Introduction to information systems.
- Approaches to system analysis (object oriented and structured).
- Processes to systems analysis (i.e. system development life cycle, iterative, Rational Unified Process).
- Problem definition.
- Feasibility analysis.
- Requirements gathering.
- Requirements specification (i.e. functional and nonfunctional).
- Events, use cases and test cases.
- System requirements models (i.e. analysis of class diagrams and data flow diagrams).
- Unified Modeling Language (UML) and case tools.
