A1: Development Models
Information System
An information system is made of components/tool where its purpose is to assist in the collection of
data, storing data, manipulation of data to our needs. Many Businesses and organisations rely on in
Information Systems for their operations to function as it allows organisations to more effectively
process and store information. For example, in retail, eBay or Amazon will use information systems to
automate their business processes like orders. User recommendation based on what they viewed etc.
Software Development life cycle (SDLC)
A Lifecyle methodology in developing and maintaining software which is composed of multiple phases to
assist an organization in the creation of a software. Common SDLC models are waterfall, spiral and agile.
- Requirement Gathering And analysis
o The most crucial part of any software development project. Its purpose is to gather
information and analyse what is needed of the system to do when it deployed. This
phase gathers requirements from stakeholders in the project, end users and any related
teams to gather information develop and propose potential plans for the next step for
deeper analysis.
- System Analysis
o This phase analyses the project is feasible for business and would provide some form for
benefit in creating the system. This phase will break the system plan it detail and into
individual parts making it more significantly to work as they are more manageable for
the organisation to develop and create. This allows parts to be properly prioritised to
ensure components of system can be properly planned which reduces the dangers of
potential risks in the future.
- System design
o This stage leads on from system analysis where the system is completely designed and
planned before development begins. The purpose to understand how the system will
perform functions, looks and how it is built. This helps to ensure their proper
functionality to users when its deployed as well act as guide for development team
when creating the system
- Software development
o The creation of the system. This phase has multiple processes from developing the
software code, infrastructure the system may need like back-end server or database and
documentation on how to operate and use the system. Software development allocates
tasks for developers, so developers are aware they are required to work optimising
efficiency.
- Testing
o When the first version of a system is developed before it is released it goes through
phase called testing to ensure it works as it was intended for. This is done by QA(Quality
