SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Introduction
Case study that is considered for this paper includes the case of a gymnasium known as
Body Sculptures. This is a gymnasium that is based on computer information system and is
capable of tacking as well as monitoring the membership and the activity of the members
associated with the gym facilities (Fang et al.2016). There is a staff management process that is
carried out in the gym by the managers of the gym and the trainers are managed based on the
staff management roster that is scheduled by the manager.
There is also a roster for the member management in the gym. The member management
is also done in Body Sculptures. As the gym is open from 5:00 am to 11:00 pm, there has to be
management of the members in the gym. The members of Body Sculptures have to register
themselves with the system and they have to make payment regarding their session classes that
are taken by them (Isaias and Issa 2015). The members registering in the gym is done by swiping
the card and they have to enter the pin so that they can confirm their registration. All the details
of the members are stored in the database system that will help them to complete their
registration. All these systems that are carried out in the gym are to be designed as the system
analysis and design for the information system.
1. Six Core SDLC Processes
In software engineering, there are different approaches that are needed for developing the
software. For completing the System Development Life Cycle, there are many different
processes that are to be followed. In the SDLC method, there comes the waterfall model, the
agile method, lean project development and many other similar processes that can be used for
developing the system. Any of the methods can be chosen for completing the project (Kjaer et

al.2016). There are steps that are to be followed while developing the system; firstly the
problems that are persisting in the business process or in the existing system, the requirement of
the system and the specification required for gathering is explained in the life cycle, the
designing phase along with the implementation phase of the system is to be identified, testing of
the system and includes the maintenance of the system is to be included in the SDLC method of
developing the project.
There are sic main processes that are to be included in developing the system for the
organization. There are many iterations while developing the system for the Body Sculptures.
The iterations that are included are stated below:
1. Identifying all problem or the need for developing the problem.
2. Planning as well as monitoring the undertaken project stating what to do and what not to do.
3. Discovering as well as understanding details that are related with the problem identified.
4. Designing the components of the systems that can help to solve the need of the software and
solve the problem of the software.
5. Building, testing as well as integrating the components for developing the system.
6. Completing the system testing that will help in successful deployment of the solution.
The steps that explained in the following section briefly:
1. System Planning: This is the most important part in the life cycle of the project. The
project manager and the team actually decides what is to be done in the project and what is not to
be done in the project. There are certain steps that are to be followed in the planning phase which
are listed below:

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
 Defining problem, all objectives as well as the resources that includes cost of the project
or the resources that are needed for completing the project (Stark 2015).
 Study the ability so that the team is capable of some alternative solution for the system
development. This can be done by arranging meeting with the clients, employees as well
as consultants of the project.
 Study all the ways to make the project in a better way compared to other organizations in
the market.
When all the above listed data are analysed, the project manager are actually left with
three choices: developing new system, improving the system, as well as leaving the system.
2. Analysis: Analysis includes the requirement that are mainly taken form the end user.
The requirements are to be determined as well as documented about what they are expecting
from the project and the way they want the system to perform (Jeong et al.2017). This analysis
steps actually a feasibility study that will state the development of the project determining the
feasibility occasionally, technologically, as well as socially. There is to be a strong
communication between the project manager and the end user so that the requirement gets clear
at the beginning of the project.
3. System Design: The system design phases comes when the requirement of the end
user is clear and is all documented down. This particular phase includes all elements for
developing the development, all components that are to be included in the system, the modules,
the security level as well as all different interfaces that are to be included in the system. In
system design, the designer or the programmer should analysis how to system will work and
what functions will be included in the system. The design of the system and the functions are to
