Administrative matters Rigor: iterative presentation and exploration –Formal vs. informal –Three iteration cycles Overall value of course to you: –You will learn fundamental concepts of systems analysis and design –You define your team project to best address your professional goals –You should ask questions about topical issues

Foundational concepts  Enterprise systems -- analysis and design  People, processes, products, tools, infrastructure, artifacts, strategies, and other resources  System development life cycle  We will focus attention to understanding how to develop and evaluate enterprise system requirements, analysis/modeling, architectural design  System integration life cycle

Foundational concepts  System development life cycle: (re)building an information system for an enterprise  requirements, analysis, architecture design,  detailed component design, implementation, testing, documentation,  usage, evolution  enhancement  restructuring  tuning  debugging  conversion

Foundational concepts  System integration life cycle: Integrating an information system into an enterprise  packaging, posting, and advertising,  deployment, acquisition, installation, testing,  training, usage, routinization, evolution

Foundational concepts  System requirements -- understanding the “problem domain”  System analysis : modeling/specification -- developing a “solution to the problem”  System architecture design -- structuring the solution in terms of information system technologies and enterprise resources

Course topics  System requirements  What are “requirements” Whose got them? Why?  Requirements elicitation and capture  Scenarios of usage and Use Cases  to capture system requirements in words/stories  Rich pictures  to capture system requirements with pictures (or multi- media)

Course topics  System analysis  Analysis as modeling and specification  Identifying system entities/objects, attributes, relations, methods, control/data flow, constraints  Modeling system entity-relations and object- oriented templates  Specifying systems using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and eXtensible Markup Language (XML)

Course topics System architecture design –Modeling and specification of system components and their interrelations for implementation –Modeling system logical design Identifying system components, interfaces, interconnections, connectors, and configuration Identifying schemes for partitioning or organizing interconnected components following reusable architectural patterns/templates.
