Overview
Business Systems Analysis and Design (INF202) develops students’ appreciation of the role of system analysis within the context of information systems development. The importance of eliciting user requirements to specify the requirements of a system will be explored. Students will learn about standard approaches to the Systems Design Life Cycle such as the waterfall method and newer methodologies such as agile and object-oriented approaches. Students will elicit requirements and use a variety of tools and techniques for system analysis and implementation of the resulting design models. They will learn about systems using cloud architecture and issues of security and maintenance for systems.
