Information system development involves a six stage process: system survey, needs analysis, design, implementation, testing, and change/maintenance. The stages include identifying problems with the existing system, selecting a solution, planning system changes, analyzing requirements, creating a design blueprint, implementing the new system, testing it meets requirements, and ongoing maintenance and improvements.
Difference in Differences - Does Strict Speed Limit Restrictions Reduce Road ...ThinkInnovation
Objective
To identify the impact of speed limit restrictions in different constituencies over the years with the help of DID technique to conclude whether having strict speed limit restrictions can help to reduce the increasing number of road accidents on weekends.
Context*
Generally, on weekends people tend to spend time with their family and friends and go for outings, parties, shopping, etc. which results in an increased number of vehicles and crowds on the roads.
Over the years a rapid increase in road casualties was observed on weekends by the Government.
In the year 2005, the Government wanted to identify the impact of road safety laws, especially the speed limit restrictions in different states with the help of government records for the past 10 years (1995-2004), the objective was to introduce/revive road safety laws accordingly for all the states to reduce the increasing number of road casualties on weekends
* The Speed limit restriction can be observed before 2000 year as well, but the strict speed limit restriction rule was implemented from 2000 year to understand the impact
Strategies
Observe the Difference in Differences between ‘year’ >= 2000 & ‘year’ <2000

INTRODUCTION TO SYSTEM
ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Systems are created to solve problems. One can think of the sys-
tems approach as an organized way of dealing with a problem. In
this dynamic world, the subject System Analysis and Design (SAD),
mainly deals with the software development activities.
1.2 OBJECTIVES
After going through this lesson, you should be able to
define a system
explain the different phases of system development life cycle
enumerate the components of system analysis
explain the components of system designing
1.3 DEFINING A SYSTEM
A collection of components that work together to realize some objec-
tives forms a system. Basically there are three major components in
every system, namely input, processing and output.
Fig. 1.1: Basic System Components
Input Output
Processing
2. 2 :: Computer Applications
In a system the different components are connected with each other
and they are interdependent. For example, human body represents
a complete natural system. We are also bound by many national
systems such as political system, economic system, educational sys-
tem and so forth. The objective of the system demands that some
output is produced as a result of processing the suitable inputs. A
well-designed system also includes an additional element referred
to as ‘control’ that provides a feedback to achieve desired objectives
of the system.
1.4 SYSTEM LIFE CYCLE
System life cycle is an organizational process of developing and main-
taining systems. It helps in establishing a system project plan, be-
cause it gives overall list of processes and sub-processes required for
developing a system.
System development life cycle means combination of various activi-
ties. In other words we can say that various activities put together
are referred as system development life cycle. In the System Analy-
sis and Design terminology, the system development life cycle also
means software development life cycle.
Following are the different phases of system development life cycle:
Preliminary study
Feasibility study
Detailed system study
System analysis
System design
Coding
Testing
Implementation
Maintenance
The different phases of system development life cycle is shown in

1.5 PHASES OF SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE
Let us now describe the different phases and related activities of
system development life cycle.
(a) Preliminary System Study
Preliminary system study is the first stage of system development
life cycle. This is a brief investigation of the system under consider-
ation and gives a clear picture of what actually the physical system
is? In practice, the initial system study involves the preparation of a
‘System Proposal’ which lists the Problem Definition, Objectives of
the Study, Terms of reference for Study, Constraints, Expected ben-
efits of the new system, etc. in the light of the user requirements.
The system proposal is prepared by the System Analyst (who stud-
ies the system) and places it before the user management. The man-
agement may accept the proposal and the cycle proceeds to the
next stage. The management may also reject the proposal or re-
quest some modifications in the proposal. In summary, we would
say that system study phase passes through the following steps:
problem identification and project initiation
background analysis
inference or findings (system proposal)
(b) Feasibility Study
In case the system proposal is acceptable to the management, the
4. 4 :: Computer Applications
next phase is to examine the feasibility of the system. The feasibility
study is basically the test of the proposed system in the light of its
workability, meeting user’s requirements, effective use of resources
and of course, the cost effectiveness. These are categorized as tech-
nical, operational, economic and schedule feasibility. The main goal
of feasibility study is not to solve the problem but to achieve the
scope. In the process of feasibility study, the cost and benefits are
estimated with greater accuracy to find the Return on Investment
(ROI). This also defines the resources needed to complete the de-
tailed investigation. The result is a feasibility report submitted to
the management. This may be accepted or accepted with modifica-
tions or rejected. The system cycle proceeds only if the manage-
ment accepts it.
(c) Detailed System Study
The detailed investigation of the system is carried out in accordance
with the objectives of the proposed system. This involves detailed
study of various operations performed by a system and their rela-
tionships within and outside the system. During this process, data
are collected on the available files, decision points and transactions
handled by the present system. Interviews, on-site observation and
questionnaire are the tools used for detailed system study. Using
the following steps it becomes easy to draw the exact boundary of
the new system under consideration:
Keeping in view the problems and new requirements
Workout the pros and cons including new areas of the system
All the data and the findings must be documented in the form of
detailed data flow diagrams (DFDs), data dictionary, logical data struc-
tures and miniature specification. The main points to be discussed
in this stage are:
Specification of what the new system is to accomplish based on
the user requirements.
Functional hierarchy showing the functions to be performed by
the new system and their relationship with each other.
Functional network, which are similar to function hierarchy but
they highlight the functions which are common to more than
one procedure.
List of attributes of the entities – these are the data items which
need to be held about each entity (record)
5. Introduction to System Analysis and Design :: 5
(d) System Analysis
Systems analysis is a process of collecting factual data, understand
the processes involved, identifying problems and recommending fea-
sible suggestions for improving the system functioning. This involves
studying the business processes, gathering operational data, un-
derstand the information flow, finding out bottlenecks and evolving
solutions for overcoming the weaknesses of the system so as to
achieve the organizational goals. System Analysis also includes sub-
dividing of complex process involving the entire system, identifica-
tion of data store and manual processes.
The major objectives of systems analysis are to find answers for each
business process: What is being done, How is it being done, Who is
doing it, When is he doing it, Why is it being done and How can it be
improved? It is more of a thinking process and involves the creative
skills of the System Analyst. It attempts to give birth to a new effi-
cient system that satisfies the current needs of the user and has
scope for future growth within the organizational constraints. The
result of this process is a logical system design. Systems analysis is
an iterative process that continues until a preferred and acceptable
solution emerges.
(e) System Design
Based on the user requirements and the detailed analysis of the
existing system, the new system must be designed. This is the phase
of system designing. It is the most crucial phase in the develop-
ments of a system. The logical system design arrived at as a result of
systems analysis is converted into physical system design. Normally,
the design proceeds in two stages:
Preliminary or General Design
Structured or Detailed Design
Preliminary or General Design: In the preliminary or general de-
sign, the features of the new system are specified. The costs of imple-
menting these features and the benefits to be derived are estimated.
If the project is still considered to be feasible, we move to the de-
tailed design stage.
Structured or Detailed Design: In the detailed design stage, com-
puter oriented work begins in earnest. At this stage, the design of
the system becomes more structured. Structure design is a blue
print of a computer system solution to a given problem having the
6. 6 :: Computer Applications
same components and inter-relationships among the same compo-
nents as the original problem. Input, output, databases, forms, codi-
fication schemes and processing specifications are drawn up in de-
tail. In the design stage, the programming language and the hard-
ware and software platform in which the new system will run are
also decided.
There are several tools and techniques used for describing the sys-
tem design of the system. These tools and techniques are:
Flowchart
Data flow diagram (DFD)
Data dictionary
Structured English
Decision table
Decision tree
Each of the above tools for designing will be discussed in detailed in
the next lesson.
The system design involves:
i. Defining precisely the required system output
ii. Determining the data requirement for producing the output
iii. Determining the medium and format of files and databases
iv. Devising processing methods and use of software to produce
output
v. Determine the methods of data capture and data input
vi. Designing Input forms
vii. Designing Codification Schemes
viii. Detailed manual procedures
ix. Documenting the Design
(f) Coding
The system design needs to be implemented to make it a workable
system. This demands the coding of design into computer under-
standable language, i.e., programming language. This is also called
the programming phase in which the programmer converts the pro-
7. Introduction to System Analysis and Design :: 7
gram specifications into computer instructions, which we refer to as
programs. It is an important stage where the defined procedures are
transformed into control specifications by the help of a computer
language. The programs coordinate the data movements and con-
trol the entire process in a system.
It is generally felt that the programs must be modular in nature.
This helps in fast development, maintenance and future changes, if
required.
(g) Testing
Before actually implementing the new system into operation, a test
run of the system is done for removing the bugs, if any. It is an
important phase of a successful system. After codifying the whole
programs of the system, a test plan should be developed and run on
a given set of test data. The output of the test run should match the
expected results. Sometimes, system testing is considered a part of
implementation process.
Using the test data following test run are carried out:
Program test
System test
Program test: When the programs have been coded, compiled and
brought to working conditions, they must be individually tested with
the prepared test data. Any undesirable happening must be noted
and debugged (error corrections)
System Test: After carrying out the program test for each of the
programs of the system and errors removed, then system test is
done. At this stage the test is done on actual data. The complete
system is executed on the actual data. At each stage of the execu-
tion, the results or output of the system is analysed. During the
result analysis, it may be found that the outputs are not matching
the expected output of the system. In such case, the errors in the
particular programs are identified and are fixed and further tested
for the expected output.
When it is ensured that the system is running error-free, the users
are called with their own actual data so that the system could be
shown running as per their requirements.
(h) Implementation
After having the user acceptance of the new system developed, the
8. 8 :: Computer Applications
implementation phase begins. Implementation is the stage of a project
during which theory is turned into practice. The major steps in-
volved in this phase are:
Acquisition and Installation of Hardware and Software
Conversion
User Training
Documentation
The hardware and the relevant software required for running the
system must be made fully operational before implementation. The
conversion is also one of the most critical and expensive activities in
the system development life cycle. The data from the old system
needs to be converted to operate in the new format of the new system.
The database needs to be setup with security and recovery procedures
fully defined.
During this phase, all the programs of the system are loaded onto
the user’s computer. After loading the system, training of the user
starts. Main topics of such type of training are:
How to execute the package
How to enter the data
How to process the data (processing details)
How to take out the reports
After the users are trained about the computerized system, working
has to shift from manual to computerized working. The process is
called ‘Changeover’. The following strategies are followed for
changeover of the system.
(i) Direct Changeover: This is the complete replacement of the old
system by the new system. It is a risky approach and requires
comprehensive system testing and training.
(ii) Parallel run: In parallel run both the systems, i.e., computerized
and manual, are executed simultaneously for certain defined
period. The same data is processed by both the systems. This
strategy is less risky but more expensive because of the following:
Manual results can be compared with the results of the com-
puterized system.
9. Introduction to System Analysis and Design :: 9
The operational work is doubled.
Failure of the computerized system at the early stage does
not affect the working of the organization, because the
manual system continues to work, as it used to do.
(iii) Pilot run: In this type of run, the new system is run with the
data from one or more of the previous periods for the whole or
part of the system. The results are compared with the old
system results. It is less expensive and risky than parallel run
approach. This strategy builds the confidence and the errors
are traced easily without affecting the operations.
The documentation of the system is also one of the most im-
portant activity in the system development life cycle. This
ensures the continuity of the system. There are generally two
types of documentation prepared for any system. These are:
User or Operator Documentation
System Documentation
The user documentation is a complete description of the system
from the users point of view detailing how to use or operate the
system. It also includes the major error messages likely to be en-
countered by the users. The system documentation contains the
details of system design, programs, their coding, system flow, data
dictionary, process description, etc. This helps to understand the
system and permit changes to be made in the existing system to
satisfy new user needs.
(i) Maintenance
Maintenance is necessary to eliminate errors in the system during
its working life and to tune the system to any variations in its work-
ing environments. It has been seen that there are always some er-
rors found in the systems that must be noted and corrected. It also
means the review of the system from time to time. The review of the
system is done for:
knowing the full capabilities of the system
knowing the required changes or the additional requirements
studying the performance.
If a major change to a system is needed, a new project may have to
be set up to carry out the change. The new project will then proceed
through all the above life cycle phases.
