SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN COURSE

 

This 4-part course tackles what drives businesses today: INFORMATION! But these information will not mean anything unless processed in a way useful to the business organization. To help organizations process information, they use INFORMATION SYSTEMS. Taking the lead in the design of information systems is the Systems Analyst, who not only documents and analyzes current business models and creates systems designs, but also provides management  enough information to come up with a “make or buy”, “go or no go” decision.

 

The participants will be introduced to the four (4) types of System Development Models during the second part of the course: JAD, RAD, Structured, and Object-oriented. An in-depth introspection of the more traditional and perhaps more widely used system development model, the Structured Analysis, will be the major activity during this part of the course.

 

With the emergence of object-oriented programming languages, there has been a paradigm shift in the system development methods. Because of the inherent qualities of the object-oriented approach such as re-usability and ease of maintenance, system development became easier. There are a lot of tools available to the Systems Analyst that will help him perform object modeling with Unified Modeling Language (UML): use case diagrams, class diagrams, Scenario Building, State and Behavioral Diagrams.

 

Target Audience: Programmers, Programmer Analysts, Systems Analysts, Business Analysts, IT professionals
