Course Description:

This 3-unit course provides a methodical approach in developing computer systems including
systems planning, analysis, testing, implementation and software maintenance. Emphasis is on the
strategies and techniques of systems analysis and design for producing logical methodologies in the
development of information systems.

Course Objectives : At the end of the course, students should be able to:
1. Comprehend why an information system should be developed and create a plan for how the
project team will develop it.
2. Apply requirements analysis techniques (business process automation, business process
improvement, or business process reengineering) that can be used for requirements
gathering techniques (interview, JAD session, questionnaire, document analysis, or
observation) to develop requirements definition.
3. Reexamined and revised the feasibility analysis and project plan to determine whether to
continue or terminate the project based on a decision made by the project sponsor and
approval committee.
4. Explain different types of tests and when to use them.
