Section A
Introduction
The case study that is involved in report is the case study of Allsports Sports Club.
Allsports is multisport club that has many members who are involved in many activities like
athletics, table tennis, darts, cricket, and football. There is a newsletter that is published by this
company every week. The newsletter consists of ten articles that are written by the club members
itself. And there are five advertisements that are paid by the outside business. This source of
income helps to meet the cost of publication of Allsports.
The club is facing problem in maintaining the track on the members about who is
submitting articles and about what advertisements are being published and who are the schedule
editor for the next edition (Panigrahi, Mall and Pati 2017). This report consists of the business
process about analyzing as well as developing specification of the information system. This
report states a software development methodology that will be suitable for the club. This report
also states three techniques of data gathering that can be possible for Allsports Sports Club.
There are set of questionnaire in this report that are gathered for developing the information
system for the club. This report also states functional as well as non-functional requirements
needed for this system.
Aim and Objective
The aim of this report is to design a business system for Allsports having HighVolatge
Information Services for carrying out the analysis as well as specification development for the
automated information.

2SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
The objective of this report are stated below:
 To select a Software Development Methodology for the system of Allsports.
 To implement three data gathering technique that is used for investigating the automated
information system.
 To set a questionnaire for gathering the information for the system.
 To study the functional as well as non-functional requirements of the system that is
proposed for ASC.
Chosen Software Development Methodology
Software Development Methodology or the system development methodology is
basically a framework in software engineering that can be used for making structure, planning
the information system, as well as controlling the development process of information system.
There are many methods that can be chosen for the developing the system (Pranam 2018). They
are agile software development, DSDM (Dynamic Systems Development Model), Extreme
Programing (XP), lean development method (LD), scrum technique and many other techniques
that can be used for developing the system.
The best system development methodology that can be used for developing the
information system is agile methodology of system development (Kuhl 2014). The agile
software development is considered as a conceptual framework that can be undertaken for
engineering projects. There are many development methodologies that are involved in the
system. The methodologies that are used in agile methodologies are DSDM (Dynamic
Development Model), Scrum, and Crystal Methods.

3SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
This methodology is mainly chosen for developing the system of ASC is because this
agile methodology mainly focuses on the working software. It considers the working software as
the main primary measure for the work that us in progress. This agile methodology of software
development also emphasize real-time communication that is mainly done by face to face
communication or over written documents.
Data Gathering Techniques
There are four data gathering techniques that can be used for gathering data for a system
analysis (Paternoster et al. 2014). The four techniques that can be used for data gathering is
observation, questionnaire, Interview as well as Focus Group Session. Three data gathering
techniques that ca be used for gathering the data are questionnaire, interview as well as group
session.
Questionnaire is a data collection instrument that can used for administering sample
subjects that can be done either through phone, face to face, email or online. There are many
advantages that this data collection method provides (Witten et al. 2016). Questionnaire provides
the researchers with opportunity to formulate as well as structure the plan of data collection
accurately. The respondents who attends the questionnaires can think about answers and then
answer them. The questionnaires also helps to carry out a use case with the sample of the
subjects.
Interviews can be carried out for gathering the data while developing a system software.
Interviews can be conducted accordingly to overcome the shortfalls that comes from other data
collection techniques (Hutton and Huckaby 2018). The interviews helps researcher to uncover

4SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
insight, deep as well as learn the information that might have been missed by other date
gathering techniques.
Group session is another data gathering technique that can be used for gathering the
techniques while developing the system. Group sessions that provides benefit for an interview to
bring the next level of discussion that is to be chosen by many other groups. There are many
people related at same time. It helps researchers to corroborate facts easily.
Questionnaire
Some questions that can be asked for developing the system are as follows:
 What are the difficulty that you are facing while using the current system?
 What are the possible solutions for developing the new system?
 For which platform the system will be built?
 What is the budget for developing the system?
 What are the features that you want to include in the software system of ASC?
 How do you plan to manage the report handling process?
 Do you wish to recommend any other changes after building the new system?
 Do you want your software to be suitable for visually impaired people?
 What technologies are to be utilized in the software system that is to be made for ASC?
 What are the security features that you want to include in the system software?
Functional and Non-Functional Requirements
Functional requirements that are to be involved in a system software are stated below:

5SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
 Specification of Software requirements document (Laplante 2017)
 Use cases that are involved with the system
 User stories involved with the system
 Work Breakdown Structure for the system
 Prototypes involved with the system
 Models as well as diagrams that are included in the system
The non-functional requirements that can be involved while developing the system
software of ASC are:
 Quality of the software
 Quality goals of the software (Dick, Hull and Jackson 2017)
 Quality of service related with the system software
 Constraints that are involved in the system
 Requirements that are non-behavioral
 Technical requirements involved in the system
All these requirements are to be fulfilled while developing the system software of ASC
(Langdon and Harman 2015). All the functional requirement are to be fulfilled at the time of
developing the software and the non-functional requirement are to be maintained throughout the
life cycle of the software system.
Conclusion
This report clearly stated the details of the proposed system for ASC. For making the
system automated for ASC, there should be many processes that are to be followed as a system
developer. The system that is proposed for ASC should implement software development

methodology which will help the system to be built successfully. For gathering the data,
techniques are also explained clearly in this report for investigating the automated information
system and the main reason for choosing the techniques are also stated in this report. There are
10 questions stated in this report contains the requirements for developing a system. This report
also states functional as well as non-functional requirements for the new system of ASC.
