Systems Analysis and Design

Covers recent approaches to the analysis and design of computer-based information systems, including hands-on use of Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools for real-world problem-solving. The changing role of the systems analyst in today's organizations is examined. This course critically analyzes systems development methodologies, including life cycle, prototyping, evolutionary, and participative models; discusses effective diagramming and notational techniques now available to define and document functional requirements; and examines current methods used to test and evaluate the accuracy, completeness, and usability of documented requirements and convert them into efficient system design. Participants discuss the concept of quality as applied to information systems as well as the role of information systems in managing quality within the organization.
