Customer Reviews

Superb organization and presentation style

Contemporary Systems Analysis is a comprehensive introduction into the full life cycle of software and systems development. The cycle, abbreviated SDLC, goes from study through design and implementation to changeover and normal operation. Throughout the book an On-Line Accounts Receivable system is the example. The authors stress the importance of meeting the needs of the principal user and of very complete documentation.The 19 chapters are divided into 6 Units that seem quite suitable for a two-semester, college level course. All the chapters begin with a preview, a list of learning objectives, and a list of key terms. The chapters end with a summary, discussion topics, and exercises.The book gives full treatment to Data Flow diagrams, HIPO, OOD, Gantt, PERT, forms design, user interface issues, schedule/cost issues, presentations, reviews, database file normalization, and the list goes on.Because of the organization and style, it is relatively easy to learn the subject material.Highly recommended for software/systems project managers.
