Synopsis

In a fundamentally new approach, this innovative text -- now available in a single, softcover volume -- teaches all the techniques a modern analyst needs.

The authors explain all the methods, models, and techniques of analysis, and simulate an actual project executed for a British television company. The reader is guided through each step of the project by exercises and the authors' advice.

The book also brings systems analysis up to date, showing how analysis is used for object-oriented implementation, and how event-response data flow models and entity-relationship data models are complementary, not competing, models. A clever system of trail guides lets the readers model an extensive case study at their own pace, in a sequence based on their level of experience.

Complete Systems Analysis adapts to the reader's needs and provides an appropriate learning path for the beginner, with a more direct route for experienced analysts wanting to make better use of today's techniques.
