ATMC ICT310 System Analysis and Design Report: Backup System Analysis

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of system analysis and design, focusing on the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Agile methodologies. It begins with an essay discussing the SDLC process, its core components, and an application to a case study involving a data backup system. The report then delves into the Agile methodology, highlighting its values, differentiating features, and the application of Scrum and Kanban. Part B of the report includes detailed modeling and diagramming, featuring an event table, a use case diagram with use case descriptions, and both a domain model class diagram and a class diagram. The diagrams visually represent the system's functionalities and relationships. References to relevant academic sources are also provided.

2SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Part A – Essay
The process of SDLC includes a series of processes that are required while producing a
software with high quality and low cost within the shortest possible time (Mishra and Dubey
2013). The entire process of SDLC includes a structured plan depending upon the way by which
the software would be developed, altered, maintained while replacing the existing software
system (Kaur and Sengupta 2013). The core process that falls under the process of SDLC
lifecycle includes-
1. Identifying the current problems
2. Planning the requirements
3. Designing the requirements
4. Building the actual code
5. Testing the deficiencies and defects
6. Deploying the system
7. Maintaining the functioning of the software with the latest updates.
As per the case study based on the CONTROLLER project is concerned, the SDLC
lifecycle can be applied effectively following its core six processes.
In the first process, the current problem that is identified with the CONTROLLER project
is related to the backing up data in a secured way which was the legal requirement identified for
the Trust Account Management. In this case the organization was unsure about the way by which
they should provide backup to the data of the clients as many of them prefer to use the cloud-
based platform while some of them preferred to backup their data to their own server.

3SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
In the next stage after figuring out the problem, the organization came up with the series
of requirements that would help them in meeting up the basic client’s requirements and pointed
out the requirements which includes the client system where all the data that needs immediate
backup will get stored, a server backup application that store the data that are received from the
client backup application, and a controller that would be remotely set up to run the server backup
application while help in running the client backup application simultaneously
In the corresponding stage of the process, the senior partner of the company along with
his team member successfully designed and tested the applications that are required for CLIENT
and the SERVER. Here they adapted the rsync open source application that will take care of the
transferring of all the data while preparing them for backup. The designed stage also included
working on a secured virtual private networking system that will work between the CLIENT,
SERVER as well as between the CONTROLLER.
In the building phase, the senior partner who was accountable for the entire system
development, represented the way by which the centralized system would work while defining
the ways by which the controller would process while storing each and every entities of the
business.
A detailed testing is thus carried out by the way the system would process data backup
within the organization in a secured way and finally the system was deployed within the
organizations data backup process (Khan and Khan 2014).
The Agile methodology is referred to the process which is applied in the course of
continuous based iteration of the testing and development done in the making of a software-
based application project. The methodology focuses on the development and testing procedures

that are applied during the software development lifecycle based on the project (Abrahamsson et
al. 2017). The activities can be evaluated as concurrent in nature unlike the Waterfall model.
The software development process that follows the Agile methodology gives stress and focus on
the on basically four main values.
The values are as follows:
i. The interactions of the individual and of the project team are more emphasized on
the process and the tools.
ii. The comprehensive documentation is paid less attention than the current working
software (Kruchten 2013).
iii. The agile methodology emphasizes on the collaborations done with customer than
on the negotiation on the contract.
iv. The methodology believes in structures which are responsive to the required
changes than the structure that always follows a plan.
The agile methodology is the type of methodology where the requirements and the
outputs develop by the collaborative nature that takes place between the project team or the self-
organizing based cross functional team (Dingsøyr and Moe 2013). The procedure and the steps
of the agile methodology enable the methodology to produce and deliver the end result values or
the outputs faster in time than the other methodologies. The output is received with a higher
quality that has the ability to respond to the required changes. The Agile methodologies have
been differentiated in many parts for the development of the project as per the requirements. The
Scrum and the Kanban methodologies are the two main and largely used methodologies under
the agile methodology for the development of a software-based project.

5SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
The entire CONTROLLER project will be developed successfully using the Agile
Methodology where each of the project details will be broken down into smaller parts till its
delivery. Maintaining the agile project methodology within the overall CONTROLLER project
will help the organization to bring in the changes that are required for backing up the data within
the entire system in a secured way Applying the Agile project methodology in the
CONTROLLER project will help Roger and his team to ensure the working principle of the
overall CONTROLLER service as per the requirements of the system maintaining the estimated
budget for the development of the system. Using the Agile methodology within the entire project
will thus help the team to respond to any changes over the flow of plan that was designed during
the SDLC stages.

Brief description The business client needs to send a request to YITSC in order get
permission for storing data into storage. In response to the request, he
controller search for available storage and create backup task which has
start date and interval of storage
Actors Controller
Related use cases Request Storage
Stakeholders Business Client, YITSC and Supplier
Preconditions The business client data must be stored into the system already
Postconditions A backup task start date and interval is created
Flow of Activities Actor System
Business client send request YITSC teach check client
existence
Controller create backup task with
start and interval
Exception handling 1. Client has already reached backups limit
2. Client is blacklisted
