ITSU2004 - Allsports Club: System Analysis and Design Report

This report focuses on the development of a new information system, TSRIS, for the Allsports Club, a multisport club with thousands of members. The report begins with an introduction to the case study and identifies the need for a system to manage newsletter and advertiser details. It explores two software development methodologies: Agile and Prototyping, justifying their selection. Various data gathering techniques, including questionnaires, interviews, and group sessions, are discussed. The report outlines both functional and non-functional requirements for the system. Section B presents detailed diagrams, including a class diagram, use case diagrams with scenarios, an entity-relationship diagram, a data flow diagram, an activity diagram, and interface designs. These diagrams visually represent the system's structure, functionality, and data flow, providing a comprehensive overview of the proposed information system. The report concludes by summarizing the key aspects of the TSRIS project for the Allsports club.

2SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Section A
Introduction
The case study of Allsports Club state it as a multisport club having thousand members
takes part in the sporting activities arranged in the club.
The main purpose of this report is developing an information system for Allsports club so
that they can keep a track on all the details related with newsletter and the advertiser details in
the system.
The problem that is identified for the system is that it was difficult to keep track on all the
details of the newsletter every week and that was resulting in delay publication of the newsletter.
As a result, a dissatisfaction was caused in the members of the club. To overcome this, the new
information system is to be analysed and developed. The information system is to be approved
by the President of the club.
Chosen Software Development Methodology
The approaches of SDLC is considered as a framework that helps to make the structure of
the information system, plan the information system and also control the development process of
the information system of the project (Stark, 2015). Approaches that are used are Agile
development, dynamic modelling, XP programming, LD development, prototyping approach and
scrum techniques. Two of the approaches that can be used for developing the information system
of Allsports club is explained below.
Agile methodology is one of the best SDLC approaches that can be used for developing
the information system (Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017). This approach is a framework that is mainly

3SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
considered for conducting engineering projects. Another method that can be used for developing
this system is prototyping approach. The reasons to select these methods are discussed below.
Agile methodology helps the developer to focus on the software of the information
system and mainly focuses on the work that is in progress. Agile method includes real time
communication within the project (Tao et al., 2017). The prototyping methodology helps the
customer to evaluate the requirements and the developers take the help of the users to develop
the system. This approach gives more flexible design as well as development of the system and
ends in more accurate system.
Data Gathering Techniques
The data gathering techniques that are used for developing the information system are
explained below:
Questionnaire: This a method of data collection that will administer the sample subjects
and the questionnaire can be carried out through phone, email, online or face to face
(Ogharaduku et al., 2016). The plan of the information system and the structure can be
formulated easily with the questionnaire data collection technique.
Interviews: This method is carried out to overcome the drawbacks of an information
system (Hughes, 2016). Data can be collected through interviews related to the existing system
and the new information system the users wants to be developed.
Group Session: This particular method is carried out while the developing process is in
process (Nuno & John, 2015). This methods helps the developer to take the discussion in next
level and develop the information system more efficiently.

4SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Questionnaire
The questionnaire below can be asked to the users of the information system.
1. Are you facing any difficulty with the current working process of the Allsports Club? If
yes, point out the problems.
2. What are your roles in this system?
3. What features are you expecting from the new information system?
4. What platform are you using for the current system?
5. Do you have any special feature added to the information system?
6. There is a need of handling the report process. How to you expect to manage it?
7. Do you like to have a usability test after the software being developed?
8. Does the software need to have a supporting features for the visually impaired people?
9. What are the technologies to be used for information system?
10. Who are associated with this project handling this application system?
Functional and Non-Functional Requirements
Functional requirements that are included in the system are:
1. The system will take the input of all the club members associated with Allsports.
2. The system will take input of all the articles that are to be uploaded by the members.
3. The system will store the details of the advertisers in the system (Khan et al., 2016).
4. The system will help in storing all the details of all the newsletter that are published every
week.
5. All the news article writers for every week are also kept in the system.

5SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
The non-functional requirements associated with the system are:
1. The system will support usability as the system will have a good interface that will helps
the users to handle the system.
2. The system will be reliable as the data stored in the system will be secured and the
system will support exception handling.
3. The performance of new system will be robust as the system will be able to support
numerous users at a same time (Laplante, 2017).
4. The system will also support extension of the system in future and the system will be
maintained by the president associated with Allsports club.
Conclusion
A Newsletter is published every week by ASC club with president’s supervision. An
editor is selected for editing the newsletter and the editor is appointed by club’s president. The
editor of the club selects ten articles for newsletter from the articles given by the members of the
club. The articles published in the newsletter features the main highlights of the previous week in
their respective sports. There are five advertisements that are also selected from the differ
advertiser by the editor.
This report details the new information system (TSRIS) for the Allsports club. For
developing the information system, two software development were discussed in the report with
three data gathering techniques that helps in collecting data related to the case study. There is a
questionnaire stated above in this report to gather the requirement for developing the information
system. The functional as well as the non-functional requirements are also explained in the report
above that is related to the case study of ASC.
