From the Inside Flap

Introducing Systems Development provides a concise, straightforward introduction to contemporary systems development for first and second year undergraduates on Computer Science and Business Studies programs. It is an ideal first-course text for systems analysis and design or systems development modules.

The book is divided into three main parts, with a developing case study running throughout:

Part One considers the inception phase of a project and how to get projects off the ground, including how information systems may be delivered, organised and accounted for.

Part Two looks at the key techniques in the elaboration phase of a project, and equips the reader with a wide range of tools and techniques to model the user systems requirements.

Part Three explores the external elements of the construction phase and the transition to a new system, including discussion of appropriate legislation, quality assurance, testing and implementation.

The focus is on UML models, techniques and vocabulary, but this is complemented by both structured and traditional techniques in a toolkit approach to development.

The strong practical emphasis of this book gives readers a solid foundation in systems development. The book is also accompanied by a web site which has full lecturer and student support.
