Comprehensive Guide to Systems Development Lifecycle: Analysis, Design, and Specifications

This guide, based on Dr. Al Bento's teachings at the University of Baltimore, outlines the Systems Development Lifecycle (SDLC). Covering essential aspects such as systems analysis, design specifications, output and input documentation, and data element dictionaries, it serves as an invaluable resource for students and professionals. Key components include systems diagrams, file and database designs, and the detailed layout of outputs for user interactions. Practical examples, including employee reports, illustrate input and output specifications, aiding comprehension and application in real-world scenarios.

  1. Systems development University of Baltimore Dr. Al Bento

  2. Systems Life Cycle concept

  3. Systems Analysis

  4. Systems Design Specifications • Output specs (reports) • Input specs (input forms) • Data element dictionary • Systems diagrams • File / DB Design

  5. Systems diagrams 1 Data element 2 3 Output specs Input specs dictionary 4 File / DB design Relationships of design specs

  6. Systems diagrams

  7. Output specifications • Outputs are the system for the users • Key output questions • who will receive the output • what is the planned use • when and how often is needed • by what media (printed, visual,etc) • Output layout • printer 80-124 columns, 50-60 lines • display 80-? columns, 24-? lines • components: headers, footers, fields • drawing the layout

  8. 1. use a word processor to prepare the layout 2. number the columns as in example below 3. type the headers under these columns 4. determine a format and length to the fields 5. create an example for the field using Xs and 9s 6. to show that it repeats copy one or two times the example Output layout 11111111111222222222233333333334444444444555555555566666666667 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 New Employee and Termination Report Dept Emp.
