Chapter 12: System Analysis and Design
Exam Study Guide with Complete
Solutions
System - Answer✔✔-A collection of activities and elements organized to accomplish a goal.
Information system - Answer✔✔-a collection of hardware, software, people, procedures, data, and the
Internet.
System analysis and design - Answer✔✔-a six-phase problem-solving procedure for examining and
improving an information system
What do the six phases of system analysis design make up? - Answer✔✔-Systems life cycle
What are the 6 phases of system analysis design? - Answer✔✔-Preliminary Investigation, systems
analysis, systems design, systems development, systems implementation, and systems maintenance.
Preliminary investigation - Answer✔✔-The organization's problems or needs are identified and
summarized in a short report.
systems analysis - Answer✔✔-The present system is studied in depth. New requirements are specified
and documented.
Systems design - Answer✔✔-A new or alternative information system is designed and a design report
created.
Systems development - Answer✔✔-New hardware and software are acquired, developed, and tested.

Systems implementation - Answer✔✔-The new information system is installed, and people are trained to
use it.
Systems maintenance - Answer✔✔-In this ongoing phase, the system is periodically evaluated and
updated as needed.
Systems analyst - Answer✔✔-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? - Answer✔✔-1: defining the problem 2: suggesting
alternative solutions 3: preparing a short report summarizing the results
What are the requirements for system analysis? - Answer✔✔-Gathering data and Analyzing the data
What's are some of the tools available to assist systems analysts and end users in the analysis phase? -
Answer✔✔-top-down analysis method, grid charts, system flowcharts, data flow diagrams, and
automated design tools
Top-down analysis method - Answer✔✔-method is used to identify the top-level components of a
complex system. Each component is then broken down into smaller and smaller components. This
approach makes each component easier to analyze and deal with.
Grid Charts - Answer✔✔-shows the relationship between input and output documents.
System flowcharts - Answer✔✔-show the flow of input data to processing and finally to output, or
distribution of information.
Data Flow Diagram - Answer✔✔-Data flow diagrams show the data or informa- tion flow within an
information system. The data is traced from its origin through processing, storage, and output.
