CIS ch.5 Notes

The document outlines the system development life cycle (SDLC) process which includes 7 phases: 1) Systems planning, 2) Systems analysis, 3) Conceptual systems design, 4) System evaluation and selection, 5) Detailed design, 6) Application programming and testing, and 7) System implementation. Accountants and auditors are involved in the SDLC as users, members of the development team, and auditors. Commercial systems can be purchased and customized to meet organizational needs or systems can be developed in-house.

System Development and Life Cycle


-Participants: systems professionals, end users, stakeholders, accountants/
auditors
-accountants and auditors involvement: creation of IS entails significant Fin.
transactions
-nature of the products: Process of production
-accountants are users, members of the development
team, involved in systems development as
auditors
-Information Systems Acquisition
*In-house development: satisfy the specific needs of the organization
*Commercial systems: applicable to the specific needs of the
organization
-Types of commercial systems
1. Turnkey systems-completely finished and tested systems that are
ready for implementation
2. General Accounting Systems- designed to serve a wide variety of
users needs.
3. Special-purpose Systems
4. Office Automation systems
5. Backbone Systems
6. Vendor-supported systems
-Advantages of commercial software

-implementation time
-Cost
-Reliability
-Disadvantages of commercial software
-Independence
-the need for customised systems
-maintenance
-Systems development life cycle:
1. Systems planning: objective is to link individual system projects or
applications to the strategic objectives.
-Strategic systems planning: 3-5 yrs. ; allocation of systems
resources at the macro level
-Project Planning: allocate resources; Project proposals
&Project schedule
2. Systems Analysis: the foundation of the SDLCs
-systems analysis report
-survey step:
disadvantage: current physical tar pit; thinking inside
the box
advantage: old systems that can be kept; fully
understand the system; isolating the root problem
-fact-gathering step
-analysis step: systems analysis report
3. Conceptual systems design: produce several alternative conceptual

systems:
A. Structured design approach: top down; breakdown into
sub-components
B. Object-oriented Approach: build from reusable standard
components or objects.
4. System evaluation and selection:
A. perform detailed feasibility study
B. Perform a cost-benefit analysis
5. Detailed design: to produce a detailed description of the proposed
system that both satisfies the system requirements identified
during

the systems analysis and is in accordance with the

conceptual

design
-Perform a system design walkthrough
-the design is free from conceptual errors
-Review system documentation
-detailed design report documents and describes the
system to this point

6. Application programming and testing:


-Procedural languages
-Event-driven Languages
-Object-oriented languages
*Programming the system following a modular approach
*Test the application software
-testing methodology

-testing offline before deploying online


-test data
7. System Implementation: database structures are created and
populated

with data
A. Testing the entire system
B. Documenting the system
-designer and programmer documentation:
system flowchart and program

flowchart
-operator documentation (run manual): How to
run the system?
-user documentation: How to use?
Classification of users
1. Novice
2. Occasional Users
3. Frequent light users
4. Frequent power users
