Question

CSCI 359 Systems Analysis and Design

Written Assignment #1

Answer each of the following questions for 2 points. Submit all your answers in one file.

Question 1: Propose a new meaningful project: give a name, definition and describe its scope as in a scope document (Your project proposals will be circulated in the class for creating new projects and forming project teams by the instructor).

Question 2: What are the five phases of the SDLC?

Question 3: What is the objective of each phase of the SDLC? Describe each objective briefly.

Question 4: What does iteration across SDLC phases (i.e. iterative approach) mean?

Question 5: Describe a "technique" you use to make sure you get assignments done on time. What are some “tools” you use with your technique?

Question 6:  List any three activities of systems analysis.

Question 7:  What is the difference between functional requirements and nonfunctional requirements?

Question 8. What would you do if you got conflicting answers for the same procedure from two different people you interviewed? What would you do if one was a clerical person and the other was the department manager?

Question 9. What is a use case?

Question 10. What type of event would be named Time to produce paychecks?

Question 11. Draw an entity relationship diagram, including minimum and maximum cardinality, for the following: The system stores information about two things: cars and owners. A car has attributes for make, model, and year. The owner has attributes for name and address. Assume that a car must be owned by one owner, and an owner can own many cars, but an owner might not own any cars (perhaps she just sold them all, but we still want a record of her in the system).   

Question 12.  Draw a class diagram for the cars and owners described in the previous question but include subclasses for sports car, sedan, and minivan with appropriate attributes.

Answer 1

1)

Project Title: Website 2000, Permit on internet      

Project Scope: This project will consist of developing a website that will improve the customer service function by enhancing the application, processing and payment methods used by Public Works department.

Project Description: This website will be accessible via secure network, and will be user friendly and easy to use. Users can determine relevant permit by searching for it on home page. They can submit application and make payments via secure network and access receipts of their payment in one go.

Note: I have answered this question considering a example: payment method

2) The five phases of the SDLC are

· Requirement capture and Analysis

· Design

· Development (Coding)

· Testing

· Maintenance

3) Requirement capture and Analysis-

1. Requirement Capture and Analysis – This is the initial step of the software development cycle. In this, the requirements are collected from the clients. People involved in this phase are managers, stakeholders and the user of course. All the requirements area ambiguously taken and various parameters pertaining the requirements are agreed.

2. Design – The essential for this stage is the necessity determination archive. In this stage, the framework and programming configuration are readied dependent on the given necessities. The framework configuration helps in determining equipment and programming necessities and generally characterizes the framework design.

In the STLC this stage is utilized by the analyzers to make the test system and they affirm what and how to test.

3. Development or coding – For this stage, the pre-essential is the framework configuration record. In this stage, the work is isolated into modules and units and the real coding is begun. This is the longest period of the product improvement life cycle and requires diligent work and devotion by the designers.

4. Testing – In this stage, the developed code is tried against every one of the prerequisites. It is ensured that the item is in accordance with the prerequisites and works precisely the manner in which it should and bugs if any are accounted for to the engineer. This stage utilizes a wide range of utilitarian testing like unit testing, reconciliation testing, framework testing, acknowledgment testing and furthermore the non-practical testing.

5. Maintenance –Issues emerges once the clients begin utilizing the item. These issues should be settled every once in a while. This is what is canvassed in the support stage. The administration engineers oblige the clients by tackling the issu

4)

In the iterative model, the iterative process begins with the simple implementation of a small set of software requirements and improves the evolving versions iteratively until the complete system is implemented and ready for deployment.

IIterative development is a way to break a large application's software development into smaller pieces.Feature code is developed, developed and tested in repeated cycles in iterative development.Further features can be designed, developed and tested with each iteration until a fully functional software application is ready for use by customers.

5)

The technique might include reading assignments right away, getting started early, making sure you have the materials needed ahead of time, checking with instructor as soon as you have a question about the assignment, using the appropriate computer tools to complete the assignment, making a backup copy of your work as you go, and getting toclass on time the day the assignment is due. Tools might include the assignment, a calendar, e-mail, phone, computer tools used to create the assignment (word processor, spreadsheet), and online access to order materials needed.
