Analysis and Design of Information SystemsThe text is designed to be used in a semester course in systems analysis and design. It introduces topics in an order most easily grasped by students: early chapters focus on feasibility studies and requirements determination, later chapters are oriented toward design specification and implementation. Systems analysis and design is a challenge for the classroom, because it is outside the context in which applications are generally created. Systems analysis and design depend on tools, situations, and experiences that are difficult to recreate in the classroom. The accompanying tools (case studies, objectives, benchmarks, etc.) have been developed to give students a practical, applications-oriented understanding of system analysis and design. |
