Pathfinder - Systems Analysis and Design

Scope Note:

“The examination of problem and the creation of its solution. Systems analysis is effective when all sides of the problem are reviewed. Systems design is most effective when more than one solution can be proposed. The plans for the care and feeding a new system are as important as the problems they solve.” (Source: The computer desktop encyclopedia. QA 76.15 F74 1999. 2nd floor, Information - Reference Section).

“A systematic investigation of a real or planned system to determine the information requirements and processes of the system and how these relate to each other and to any other system.” (Source: Prentice Hall’s Illustrated Dictionary of Computing. QA 76.15 N34 1998. 2nd floor, Information-Reference Section).
