System Analysis and Design Report: Software Development Life Cycle

This report presents a comprehensive system analysis and design solution, covering various aspects of software development and project management. The report begins with a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for recruiting a systems analyst at Allhomes Company, detailing tasks, durations, and timelines. It then analyzes entities and attributes for a student course registration system, defining use cases and actors, and illustrating them with a use case diagram. The core of the report focuses on the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), outlining the planning, requirement finding and analysis, design, development, testing, and deployment phases. Each phase is described with specific activities and deliverables, such as UML designs, data modeling, database development, and network configuration. The report also includes a bibliography of relevant sources, providing a strong foundation for the methodologies and concepts discussed. The report covers various diagrams such as UML diagrams, ERD diagrams, and use case diagrams and their significance in the system analysis and design process. The report highlights the importance of each phase in SDLC and how each phase contributes to the overall software development process.

Portfolio 3:
Task 1:
The software development life cycle is the collection of interconnected processes that
assists a project manager to control and execute the project.
Panning Phase: The planning phase is for gathering adequate amount of data regarding
the project and carrying out pre-project tasks. The project manager will meet with the
stakeholders of High Education College to define the project scope and deliverables. The project
manager will hire team members who have worked in Online learning system, PLS and ULS.
The project manager then communicates with the team members to create project schedule.
Requirement Finding and Analysis: Within the requirement analysis phase, the project
manage will ask the business analyst to gather business and user requirements. After collecting
the information, the business analysts will send a report to manager. The PM will then employ
system analyst to convert those business requirements into system requirements. All the system
requirements will be prioritized. The most suitable requirements will only be selected.
Design: In this design phase, the system analyst will hand over the system requirement
report to the system designers. The designers will create UML designs and data modelling based
on requirements. The USE case will be designed for identifying the user interaction with the
system. The class diagrams will provide an idea about classes required to development system.
The ERD will be developed at the final stage of the design phase. The ERD will be developed in
three phases, conceptual, logical and physical muddling.

6SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Development: The development phase is done based on the designs. The coders develop
the OLS, PLS and ULS in units. After each unit is developed, the system developers will debug
the system. The database developers will develop the database of the system. The network
engineer will configure the servers and networking paths.
Testing: At first, each unit will be tested. The testing team will send an issues log to
development team after each system testing. The testing team will test the database also. Special
tools like cisco packet tracer will be used for network testing.
Deployment: The after the system will be tested and verified, the system will be deployed
within the environment of High Education College.
