S DLC
Five phases

S DLC
S ys tem Planning
Steering committee Review project request Preliminary investigation (Feasibility studies)

S ys tem Analys is
Preliminary investigation (Feasibility studies) Detailed analysis for current s ys tem & us er requirements Conceptual design System model : proces s modeling & object modeling

S DLC
S ys tem Analys is (cont.)
Process modeling : transform input to output Tools used: ERD, DFD, Project dictionary (Structures English, decision table, decision tree, data dictionary) Object modeling : Object OO, UML Alternative identification and evaluation (HW & SW)

S DLC
S ys tem Des ig n
Blueprint Identify all inputs, processes and outputs System design specification I/O design File/Database design Program design Procedure design

S DLC
S ys tem Implementation
Write, test, install, document, train, evaluate System testing
Unit test System Test Integration Test Acceptance Test Direct conversion Parallel conversion Phased conversion Pilot conversion

System installation

S DLC
S ys tem Operation & S upport
Maintenances Enhance system capability

Prototyping
A model of full-scale system Partial version of the system that acts like the real system (but not perform all) Change, modify, replaces Process
Define system specifications Create prototyping system Refine prototyping system Develop operational system

R apid Application Development (R AD)

Team-based techniques Speeds up IS development (Short time) Active user involvement Use : Prototype & CASE tools

R apid Application Development (R AD)

Phases involved:
R equirements Planning Us er Des ig n C ons truction C utover

Object-oriented Analys is (OOA)

Combines data & process into objects Methods change an objects properties Usually implemented using object-oriented programming language It replaces the remainder of the system analysis and system design phase

S piral
Focuses on reducing risk It blends the best features of waterfall+ other models Phases involved
Objective setting Risk analysis Development and validation Plan next cycle

Extreme Prog ramming (XP)

Agile method Extreme approach to iterative development
New versions may be built several times per day Increments are delivered to customers every 2 weeks Test success
