Systems Analysis and Design, 7th Edition
by David P. Tegarden, Binny Samuel, Roman Lukyanenko, Alan Dennis, Barbara Haley Wixom
Overview
Enables readers to analyze and design systems — not just read about IT
Systems Analysis and Design: An Object-Oriented Approach with UML, Seventh Edition captures the dynamic aspects of the field by keeping students focused on doing SAD while presenting the core set of skills that every systems analyst needs to know today and in the future.
The team of expert authors introduces each major technique, explains what it is, explains how to do it, presents an example, and provides opportunities for students to practice before they do it for real in a project. After reading each chapter, students will be able to perform that step in the system development process.
