ITC211 Systems Analysis and Design (8)

This subject will provide students with knowledge and skills in the areas of problem definition, feasibility analysis, requirements gathering, system analysis and systems design using object oriented modelling. In particular, students will gain experience in the object oriented approach to systems development including gathering and modelling requirements using object oriented tools and techniques and designing solutions to business problems.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this subject, students should:
  • be able to describe the context of an information system;
  • be able to discuss and describe processes to systems analysis;
  • be able to gather system requirements;
  • be able to perform feasibility analysis;
  • be able to model systems requirements using object oriented tools and techniques; and
  • be able to develop object oriented design models.

Syllabus

This subject will cover the following topics:
  • Introduction to information systems.
  • Approaches to system analysis and design (object oriented)
  • Processes to systems analysis (i.e. system development life cycle, iterative, Rational Unified Process).
  • Systems analysis processes
  • Problem definition
  • Feasibility analysis
  • Requirements gathering and specification (i.e. functional and nonfunctional)
  • Unified Modeling Language (UML) and CASE tools
  • System requirements models (i.e. use case diagrams, system sequence diagrams, state machine diagrams)
  • System design models (i.e., user interface design, CRC cards, communication diagrams, design class diagrams)
