Design EXAMS STUDY GUIDE AND EXLANATIONS PLUS
NOTES (FOOTERS) TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND
System A collection of activities and elements organized to accomplish a goal.
Information system a collection of hardware, software, people, procedures, data, and the
Internet.
System analysis and design a six-phase problem-solving procedure for examining and
improving an information system
What do the six phases of system analysis design make up?Systems life cycle
What are the 6 phases of system analysis design? Preliminary Investigation, systems analysis,
systems design, systems development, systems implementation, and systems maintenance.
Preliminary investigation The organization's problems or needs are identified and
summarized in a short report.
systems analysis The present system is studied in depth. New requirements are specified
and documented.
Systems design A new or alternative information system is designed and a design report
created.
Systems development New hardware and software are acquired, developed, and tested.
Systems implementation The new information system is installed, and people are trained to
use it.
Systems maintenance In this ongoing phase, the system is periodically evaluated and updated as
needed.
Systems analyst Computer professionals who study an organization's systems to
determine what actions to take and how to use computer technology to assist them.
What are the phases of preliminary investigation? 1: defining the problem 2: suggesting
alternative solutions 3: preparing a short report summarizing the results
What are the requirements for system analysis? Gathering data and Analyzing the data
