Page 102

System Analysis

System analysis can be defined simply as: “The study of business problem domain to
recommend

improvements and specify the business requirements for the solution.”

Or alternatively as:

“A problem solving technique that decomposes a system into its component pieces for
the purpose of

studying, how well those component parts work and interact to accomplish their
purpose.”

Both the definitions highlight following important points:

• System analysis helps to create an understanding of the business processes, their linkage
with

one another, the parameters governing the data flow within the business, the controls and

checks built into the processes and the reporting needs in a business where a problem
exists

or for which the software needs to be designed.

• System analysis creates the understanding and lays out the necessary relationships that
will

assist in defining a solution to the problem or the design of the proposed software that
will

meet the user needs.

These two points may be understood as providing a means for undertaking the following
tasks:

• A technique to map the system under study.

• To drill down into the various aspects of the business process without losing sight of the
complete

system.

• To understand the Workability/Functionality of the subsystems and their role in

achieving the

objectives of the system as well as controls and checks in place.

• To establish the relationship or Level of interaction of each system with other

components of the

system.
