CHAPTER-12 EXPLORING INFORMATION SYSTEM AND DEVELOPMENT

What is system development ?
System development is a set of activities used to build an information system.

How to operate system development :-
  • ·       Planning- select team , Resource
  • ·       Analysis- user requirement
  • ·       Design- design layout
  • ·       Implementation- testing the system
  • ·       Operation, Support and Security-maintenance , check security, monitor performance.



Project management is the process of planning, scheduling, and then controlling the activities during system development.

Documentation is the collection and summarization of data and information.

The planning phase for a project begins when the steering committee receives a project request.

The analytic phase consist two major activates :-
·       Conduct a preliminary investigation
·       Perform detailed analysis

Process modeling (structured analysis and design) is an analysis and design technique that describes processes that transform inputs into outputs.

An entity-relationship diagram (ERD) is a tool that graphically shows the connections among entities in a system.

A data flow diagram (DFD) is a tool that graphically shows the flow of data in a system
·       Data flows
·       Processes
·       Data stores
·       Sources

The project dictionary contains all the documentation and deliver able of a project.

A decision table is a table that lists a variety of conditions and the actions that correspond to each conditions.

The data dictionary stores the data item’s name, description, and other details about each data item.

Object modeling combines the data with the processes that act on that data into a single unit, called an object.

UML (Unified Modeling Language) has been adopted as a standard notation for object modeling and development.

A use case diagram graphically shows how actors (users) interact with the information system.

A class diagram graphically shows classes and subclasses in a system.

A prototype (proof of concept) is a working model of the proposed system
·       Prototypes have inadequate or missing documentation
·       Users tend to embrace the prototype as a final system
·       Should not eliminate or replace activities

The purpose of the implementation phase is to construct the new or modified system and then deliver it.

Training involves showing users exactly how they will use the new hardware and software in the system ­:-
·       One-on-one sessions
·       Classroom-style lectures
·       Web-based training


The purpose of the operation, support, and security phase is to provide ongoing assistance for an information system and its users after the system is implemented.
