Systems Analysis and DesignBackgroundSystem Analysis and Design is the process of determining what an information system needs to do and how it will do it. System analysis concerns the analysis of an existing or proposed system, which helps in determining the managerial information requirements of the system. System design phase proposes a feasible design for the system and develop system specifications for programming. System Analysis and Design involves logical design and physical design. Timeline
Ludwig von Bertalanffy first introduced system development as a formal discipline. He introduced General system theory in a series of lectures he presented in the 1930’s and 40’s. He published a book called “General System Theory” in 1968. Current system analysis and design still follows the basic framework presented by Bertalanffy. Object-oriented programming was invented by Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard in 1966 through the development of the Simula programming language. Waterfall method was introduced in 1970. Structured design and structured analysis were introduced in 1974 and 1976 separately. Dahl O.J, E.W.Dijkstra, DeMarco,T, P.J.Plauger, Yourdon,E. and L.L.Constantine made major contribution in structured design and analysis. During this period the concepts of modular programming and component-based development were also introduced and refined. Barry Boehm introduced spiral model of system development in 1988. The spiral model replaced t he traditional waterfall method and became the most popular software development methodologies. Work flow is a relatively new MIS research classification that has emerged as a subcategory under the broader system analysis and design umbrella. Although the first workflow papers began appearing as early as 1980. The majority publications in this area have occurred over the past decade. In 1993, the Workflow Management Coalition was founded and defined workflow as “the automation of a business process”. In 1994, Erich, Gamma,Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides started a whole new sun-field of systems design research by Introducing the concept of architectural design patterns into software development. Starting from mid 1980’s, object-oriented design emerged as the dominant approach to system analysis, design and development. Several different object-oriented development methodologies were developed. In 1986, Grady Booch published “Object-Oriented Development”. Booch, Jacobson and Rumbaugh combine their notion and methodologies to form the Unified Modeling language (UML) and the Unified Software Development Process. When Java appeared, the object-oriented design began to take over what sequential structure had. A recent technology called aspect-oriented programming is an extension of objected-oriented programming that addresses some limitations of object-oriented programming by providing a mechanism to dynamically identify load and execute code modules to augment the behavior of an object-oriented system. Object-oriented analysis and design, which dominated system and design for about twenty years, is facing challenge from aspect-oriented programming.
