Systems analysis is the dissection of a system into its component pieces for purposes of studying how those component pieces interact and work [Edwa89]. Structured analysis was one the first formal strategies developed for systems analysis of information systems and computer applications [Whit98]. Modern structured analysis is a process-centered technique that is used to model requirements for a system. The models are structured pictures that illustrate the processes, inputs, outputs, and files required to respond to events. Structured analysis introduced an overall strategy that has been adopted by many of the other techniques – model-driven development. A model is a representation of reality. Just as 'a picture is worth a thousand words,' most models use pictures to represent reality. Model-driven development techniques emphasize the drawing of models to define requirements and system designs. The model becomes the design blueprint for constructing the final system. Before developing this model, however, it is essential to identify the components that will make up the system to be designed. In order to best aid the machine designer and reduce the design time, the following key elements were identified: an implicit solver to solve

Systems analysis Is sorely in need of a conceptual framework that establishes principles and guidelines for the task of trarslating the qualitative and unstructured p e r c e o t i o n of organizational information requirements into the technical and rigid solutions available with computerized hardware and s o f t w a r e . This paper outlines the major characteristics of a model for erecting a bridge between the diverse organization and computer systems that must be joined by an Information s y s t e m . Structured programming has provided the programmer with such a rrodel. Surely* the systems analyst can benefit from new and old perspectives on his even mors conolsx tisk.

Systems Analysis and Design is an exciting endeavour as well as an active field in which analysts continually learn new techniques and approaches to develop systems more effectively and efficiently. Any organization that wants to have a long-lasting impact on its target market, must be ready to invest its resources in planning and research, to ascertain whether a new project is viable, partially viable or impracticable. This will either show the survival tendencies of the organization as it relates to the project or its weaknesses in handling the project. Every system development inadvertently follows four phases, which are: planning, analysis, design, and implementation. All complex systems can be decomposed into a nested hierarchy of subsystems because the different facets of every individual organization are either a system, part of a system or a subsystem. For an embodiment of various singular interconnected parts to be considered a system, it must have followed through with a methodology or an approach. This paper utilizes expository methodology and drives towards giving a concise overview of the various approaches to be adopted while developing a system. It begs to give more insight to the current methodologies in systems development, the emerging approaches and the pros and cons. The authors investigate from inception to the current methodologies, knowing full well that many occurrences in life happens in correspondence to dispensations, times and seasons; just like winter and summer, the authors understudy the various dispensations to pin the prevalent methodologies in certain time spaces, the advances or improvement as well as the advantages and disadvantages they have over others as time progresses. In the process, old systems methodologies are improved to serve a larger target and the amount of work needed per time reduces as new system methodology are developed over time.

PREFACE Saurshtra University has designed versatile courses like BCA and PGDCA. This courses focus on the development of student in the field of information technology. This field is every expanding and developing. To keep pace with the global requirements and challenges we must develop ourselves uptodate in this field. To take the students to the international platform and prepare them to face the challanges of information technology (the next generation) Saurashtra University has not only introduced but also developed such courses in the favour of students. By being in BCA for three years the student almost passes through all the areas of information technology viz. programming, web-designing, software analysis, web-programming, embedded programming, etc. Networking is also one such important area where students can focus on and develop themselves. To cope up with the industry and bring good results with the University Exams one must have good tools/weapons to fight competition. With this book, we are trying to give such tool/weapon to students so that they can prepare themselves to face the challenges of the future competition. The book is desinged in the way that is most understanding and comprehensive to students and their grasping power. The language used by the author is simple and easy to understand. The topics are divided into subtopics and points that are easy to grasp and remember. The book focuses on the minute details of the chapters and their topics as per the syllabus weightage. Important questions are also summerized at the end of each chapter that will enable the students on the exact topics that are important from the chapter and for scoring marks. The book also contains appropriate graphics and examples for better understanding. This book will also be useful as the last minute revision guide to the exam as the topics are represented in pointwise fashion for easy rememberance. In short, through this book we are trying to fill the requirement of students for the subject material for SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN AND SOFTWARE ENGINEERING subject. This is our maiden project and is bound to contain some errors non-technical in nature. We regret such errors if any and would like to have your feedback on this book. The feedback form is included in this book after this page. We, wish you all the very best to for the subject for University Exams.
