Systems Development
Fundamentals of Information Systems, Second Edition
2
Principles and Learning Objectives
• Effective systems development requires a team effort of stakeholders, users, managers, systems development specialists, and various support personnel, and it starts with careful planning.
Fundamentals of Information Systems, Second Edition
3
Principles and Learning Objectives
• Systems development often uses different approaches and tools such as traditional development, prototyping, rapid application development, end-user development, computer-aided software engineering, and object-oriented development to select, implement, and monitor projects.
Fundamentals of Information Systems, Second Edition
4
Principles and Learning Objectives
• Systems development starts with investigation and analysis of existing systems.
Fundamentals of Information Systems, Second Edition
5
Principles and Learning Objectives
• Designing new systems or modifying existing ones should always be aimed at helping an organization achieve its goals.
Fundamentals of Information Systems, Second Edition
6
Principles and Learning Objectives
• Maintenance and review add to the useful life of a system but can consume large amounts of resources, so they benefit from the same rigorous methods and project management techniques applied to systems development.

Prototyping is an Iterative Approach to Systems Development
Fundamentals of Information Systems, Second Edition
14
Rapid Application Development (RAD)
• Employs tools, techniques, and methodologies designed to speed application development.
• Joint Application Development (JAD) - RAD makes extensive use of this for data collection and requirements analysis.

Use of Project Management Tools
• Project schedule
• Project milestone
• Project deadline
• Critical path
• Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)
• Gantt chart

Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) Tools
Automate many of the tasks required in a systems development effort and enforce adherence to the SDLC, thus instilling a high degree of rigor and standardization to the entire systems development process
• Upper-CASE tools - CASE packages that focus on activities associated with the early stages of systems development.
• Lower-CASE tools - focus on the later stages of systems development and are capable of automatically generating structured program code.
• Integrated-CASE tools - provide links between upper- and lower-CASE packages.

Object-Oriented Systems Development
• Identify potential problems and opportunities within the organization that would be appropriate for the OO approach
• Define the kind of system users require
• Design the system
• Program or modify modules
• Evaluation by users
• Periodic review and modification

23
Systems Investigation
Fundamentals of Information Systems, Second Edition
24
Systems Investigation
• Attempts to answer the following questions:
– What primary problems might a new or enhanced system solve?
– What opportunities might a new or enhanced system provide?
– What new hardware, software, databases, or procedures will improve an existing system?
– What are the potential costs (variable and fixed)? – What are the associated risks?

Systems Analysis
Fundamentals of Information Systems, Second Edition
28
Systems Analysis
• Data collection - seeks additional information about the problems
• Data Analysis - manipulates collected data so that it is usable for the development team

32
Requirements Analysis
• Asking directly• Determining critical success factors (CSFs)• Developing the IS plan
Fundamentals of Information Systems, Second Edition
33
The Systems Analysis Report
• The report should cover the following:
– The strengths and weaknesses of the existing system from a stakeholder’s perspective
– The user/stakeholder requirements for the new system (also called the functional requirements)
– The organizational requirements for the new system– A description of what the new information system
should do to solve the problem

Systems Design
Fundamentals of Information Systems, Second Edition
37
Systems Design
• Logical design - involves planning the purpose of each system element.
• Physical design - refers to how the tasks are accomplished, including how the components work together and what each component does.
Fundamentals of Information Systems, Second Edition
38
Request for Proposal
One of the most important documents generated during systems development.
• Results in a formal bid that is used to determine who gets a contract for new or modified systems.
• Specifies in detail required resources.

Systems Maintenance and Review
Fundamentals of Information Systems, Second Edition
48
Systems Maintenance
• Reasons for program maintenance include:
– Changes in business processes– New requests from stakeholders, users, and
managers– Bugs or errors in the program– Technical and hardware problems– Corporate mergers and acquisitions– Government regulations– Change in the operating system or hardware on which
the application runs– Unexpected events, like the terrorist attacks of

Summary
• Systems development team - consists of stakeholders, users, managers, systems development specialists, and various support personnel.
• Five phases of the traditional SDLC - investigation, analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance and review.
• Systems investigation - designed to assess the feasibility of implementing solutions for business problems.

Summary
• Systems analysis - the examination of existing systems, which begins once approval for further study is received from management.
• Systems design – purpose is to prepare the detailed design needs for a new system or make modifications to an existing one.
• Systems implementation - to install a system and make everything, including users, ready for its operation.
• Systems maintenance - involves checking, changing, and enhancing the system to make it more useful in obtaining user and organizational goals.
