1. Context
1.1. Information System (IS) Development
Problem domain:
• Done by business people
• What is the system supposed to do?
• Good understanding of the requirements of the system is essential!
Solution space:
• Done by IT-specialists
• How will the system be build?
• If the answer to the “what” question is not clear, the solution will be a failure (“how” question)
Cycle:
• System design: architecture
• System implementation: coding & programming and
testing (user acceptance testing)
• System use and maintenance: long phase
If the systems are aging → new systems → same process →
cycle
Requirements of system analysis:
1) Systems objectives: strategic plan (why?)
2) System functions: what should the system exactly do?
3) Information needs
4) Data needs: what is the data that we need?
