ITC211 - Systems Analysis Assignment - Charles Sturt University, Australia
Session 2 2019
Faculty of Business, Justice and Behavioural Sciences
School of Computing and Mathematics
Abstract - Systems analysis provides students with knowledge and skills in: feasibility analysis; requirements gathering; requirements writing; and requirements modelling of business problems and systems. Object oriented and structured modelling techniques are a major part of the subject content.
Learning outcomes - Upon successful completion of this subject, students should:
- be able to describe the context of an information system;
- be able to discuss and describe processes to systems analysis;
- be able to compare the range of requirements gathering techniques;
- be able to describe and apply feasibility study methods and approaches;
- be able to develop system requirements models;
- be able to demonstrate the ability to use the tools and techniques of object oriented and structured systems modelling.
Assessment item 1 - Understanding the Problem
Task -
Background - Case Study: Auto-Parts Warehouse Management System
Jack Greig and Daniel Cox have several years of experience of running an auto-parts business as a supplier in a major city of Australia. The current warehouse management system is not able to handle highly dynamic procedures that can help them move and store inventory at peak efficiency and lowest cost. Jack and Daniel have decided to develop a new Auto-Parts Warehouse Management System where its functionality can be applied throughout all core warehouse processes, transforming the warehouse into a competitive advantage.
You are the business system analyst assigned to develop this system. In your meeting with Jack and Daniel, they provided significant details regarding the basic operations of the system. They expect the system will perform the various functions such as receiving all types of orders, inventory control, order processing, pick up and process orders, order load management, outbound documentation, system alerts, packing orders, and crystal reports. Please note, you must consider the number of wireless communication devices that configure with the proposed system and enables the warehouse management to run the distribution centre using real-time operations. These extensive system functions will improve warehouse operations by minimising costs and increasing productivity.
Complete the Following -
You are a business systems analyst that is part of a project that is currently being proposed. Your task is to develop a System Vision Document for this project.
You are to describe the problem in your own words, and the capabilities and benefits. You need to create a System Vision Document which contains:
- Problem
- Capabilities
- Benefits
Specific analysis techniques have not been taught yet, so this assignment does not require technical descriptions.
Please note, you will use the same case study to complete assessment item 1, assessment item 2 and assessment item 3.
Assessment item 2 - Requirements Gathering
Task -
Further background - Refer to the Project Vision Document submitted in Assessment Item 1 regarding Auto-Parts Warehouse Management System. In this assignment, you are required to prepare a report that describes the detailed architecture and design of the proposed system.
Complete the Following -
Please refer to the marking guide when preparing your response to see what criteria and standards will be used to assess your work and your progress.
Amongst the information sought are answers to the following questions:
1. Identify and briefly describe the functional and non-functional requirements for the proposed system. (2 pages, times new roman, size 12)
2. Identify use cases and draw use case diagrams for the proposed system that show major use cases and actors.
3. Draw domain model class diagrams for the proposed system. Be as specific and accurate as possible, if needed information is not given, make realistic assumptions.
4. Develop an event-partitioned system model encompassing all the use cases you identified in question 2. Assume that the classes and associations in question 3 correspond to entities and relationships from similar entity relationship diagrams.
Assessment item 3 - Requirements Report
Task -
Further Background - Refer to background information provided in Assessments 1 and 2 regarding Auto-Parts Warehouse Management System.
Complete the Following -
Please refer to the marking guide when preparing your response to see what criteria and standards will be used to assess your work and your progress.
Cloud Based Solution
Consider various aspects of cloud based solutions and investigate the strengths and weaknesses of cloud based solutions, taking into consideration the environment in which the solution will be deployed for the proposed system.
Agile Methodologies
Compare and contrast Unified Process (UP) and Scrum. Then recommend either Unified Process or Scrum you will use for the proposed system and briefly describe why.
