Prerequisite

ITGS113

Overview

This course provides a methodical approach to developing computer systems including feasibility study, systems planning, analysis, design, testing, implementation and software maintenance. Emphasis is on the strategies and techniques of systems analysis and design for producing logical methodologies for dealing with complexity in the development of information systems. The course includes the Waterfall model (The System Development Life Cycle), system analysis and design techniques (Process Modeling (DFDs), Logical Modeling (decision tree, decision table, structured English), Data Modeling (ERD Diagrams), Object Oriented Modeling (UML use cases).
