Synopsis

It is well known that the development of computer systems often proceeds in an ill-defined fashion, leading inevitably to unexpected costs and delays. Methods for building systems of high quality, to perform effectively and to reduce the maintenance burden, are urgently required. Structured Systems Analysis and Design (SSADM) is an important approach to the effective development of computer systems. This book, an introduction to SSADM, outlines the SSADM philosophy against traditional methods, showing how this approach is organized and indicating the six stages of SSADM (investigation, requirements specification, selection of options, data design, process design and physical design). Management aspects are also explored. An appendix highlights principal SSADM techniques.
