SLC. Systems Development Life Cycle name and explain the steps which are used in solving a problem

1. Systems Development Life Cycle name and explain the steps which are used in solving a problem

2. What is the System Development Cycle?

What is an information system (IS)?
Hardware, software, data,
people, and procedures that
work together to produce
quality information
System—Set of components
that interact to achieve
common goal
Businesses use many types of
systems

4. Analysis

When you are given any problem you should start off by finding out about the
problem and getting an idea of what you will make to solve the problem by:
A detailed look at current systems
Establish the objectives of the new system
Electronic Crafts wants to create a game that will sell successfully, so it needs
to see what the market wants to buy and what their current interests are. It will
gather data on:
How previous similar products have sold (market data)
What customers are interested in (questionnaires and interviews)
Whether it has any code that could be adapted or reused (internal data)
Feasibility of making any proposed game (is it possible within the time,
technical, cost and personnel limits to make the game?)
Once it has done its research, it will create a document listing objectives for
the new system.

5. Design

Once we have settled on what we are going to make and
the objectives for the system, we need to set about
designing the components. Design is important as it allows
you to start thinking about how you will make things, and
hopefully avoid making mistakes later.
The Process involved in the design of a product is looking
at:
User interface
Processes
Data storage requirements

6. Implementation

You might think that all implementation involves is creating
the game. You'd be wrong, it involves the following:
Programming the software / creation of hardware
Installation of hardware and software
Preparation of data files
Training of users
Writing the system documentation
And at the same time make sure that the system that you
build fits in with what you designed

7. Testing

Black Box testing model
Consider the box to contain the program source code, you
don't have access to it and you don't have to be aware of how
it works. All you do is input data and test to see if the output is
as expected. The internal workings are unknown, they are in
a black box. Examples of Black Box testing would be if you
were working as a games tester for a new console game. You
wouldn't have been involved in the design or coding of the
system, and all you will be asked to do is to input commands
to see if the desired results are output.

8. White Box Testing

With white box testing you understand the
coding structure that makes up the program. All
the tests that you perform will exercise the
different routes through the program, checking
to see that the correct results are output.

9. Dry Run Testing

A dry run is a mental run of a computer program,
where the computer programmer examines the
source code one step at a time and determines what
it will do when run. In theoretical computer science, a
dry run is a mental run of an algorithm, sometimes
expressed in pseudocode, where the computer
scientist examines the algorithm's procedures one
step at a time. In both uses, the dry run is frequently
assisted by a trace table. And whilst we are here we
might as well get some more practice in:

10. Evaluation

The final thing you should do is evaluate how it all went.
Remember we are talking about a systems development
life cycle here, so if you made any mistakes or things didn't
go to plan it's best to make a note of them. Then next time
round you won't make the same mistake. However, the
main part of the evaluation is to reflect on how successful
the operational system is:
Review to confirm the new system meets the original
objectives
Identify any necessary modifications
