Synopsis

Enables readers to analyze and design systems ― not just read about IT

Systems Analysis and Design: An Object-Oriented Approach with UML, Seventh Edition captures the dynamic aspects of the field by keeping students focused on doing SAD while presenting the core set of skills that every systems analyst needs to know today and in the future.

The team of expert authors introduces each major technique, explains what it is, explains how to do it, presents an example, and provides opportunities for students to practice before they do it for real in a project. After reading each chapter, students will be able to perform that step in the system development process.

NEW TO THIS EDITION

• A greater emphasis on developing information systems using an incremental and iterative approach and verifying, validating, and testing throughout the book
• Chapter on agile development
• Chapter that overviews the supporting workflows of the Unified Process
• Greatly expanded the Library Management System (LMS) example integrated throughout the chapters
• Converted the Campus Housing example to a set of “Your Turn” exercises. Also, suggested answers to each exercise are included in the Instructor’s Manual
• Appendix section on sequence, decision, and looping/repeating programming structures
• New and expanded sections on storytelling, NoSQL, data distribution and peer-to-peer architecture
• Expanded coverage of the interdependencies among the functional (Chapter 3), structural (Chapter 4), and behavioral (Chapter 5) models
• New and revised figures throughout the book
• Updated MS Word templates that can be used for system requests, system proposals, use case descriptions, CRC cards, contracts, method specifications, use case test plan, class test plan, and class invariant test specifications

WILEY ADVANTAGE

• Focuses on real-world application by guiding students through practice problems and using the technique in a project
• Presents a contemporary, object-oriented approach using UML (Unified Modeling Language)
• Integrates stories, feedback, and advice from a diverse industry advisory board of IS professionals and consultants
• Provides chapters that each cover a different step in the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process
