 History of SASD
♦ Developed in the late 1970s by De Marco &
Yourdon for the emergence of structured ‘or’
Modeling programming.
♦ IBM incorporated SASD into their development
cycle in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
♦ Yourdon published the book “Modern Structured
Analysis” in 1989.
♦ In 1990 enabled analysts to develop and modify
the graphical SASD models.

 Goals of SASD
♦ Improve quality and reduce the risk
of system failure. only a model \object will fail

♦ Establish specifications and complete

requirements documentations. document design decision

♦ Focus on reliability, flexibility , Reusablity ,

Robustness , Maintainability of system.
♦ The purpose of SASD is to develop a useful,
high quality information system that will
meet the needs of the end user.

 Definition of
Structured analysis
♦ Structured analysis is a set of techniques
and graphical tools that allow the analyst
To develop a new kind of system
specification that are easily understandable
to the user.
♦ Analysts work primarily with their wits,
pencil and paper.

 Elements of SASD

Essential Model

Environmental
Behavioral Model
Model

Implementation Model

Sudeep singh
 Essential Model
♦ Model of what the system must do.
♦ Does not define how the system will accomplish
Its purpose.
♦ It is a combination of the environmental and
behavioural model
Essential Model

Environmental Behavioral
Model Model

Implementation Model
Sudeep singh
 Environmental Model

♦ Defines the scope of the proposed system.

♦ Defines the boundary and interaction between the
system and the outside world.
♦ Composed of: Statement of Purpose, Context
Diagram, and Event List.

Essential Model

Environmental Behavioral
Model Model

Implementation Model
Sudeep singh
 Behavioural Model
♦ Model of the internal behaviour & data entities of system.
♦ Models the functional requirements.
♦ Composed of Data Dictionary , DFD , ERD, Process
Specification, and State Transition Diagram.

Essential Model

Environmental Behavioral
Model Model

Implementation Model
Sudeep singh
 Implementation Model
♦ Maps the functional requirements to the hardware and
software. Minimizes the cost of development & maintenance.
♦ Determine which functions should be manual vs.automated
♦ Can be used to discuss the cost-benefits of functionality
With user/stakeholders.
♦ Defines the Human-Computer Interface.
♦ Defines non-functional requirements.

 Data Dictionary
= : is composed of
+ : and
( ) : optional element
{ } : iteration
[ ] : selects one of the elements list
| : separation of elements choice
** : comments
@ : identifier for a store (unique ID)

Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD)

• A graphical representation of the data layout of a system at a

high level of abstraction
• Defines data elements and their inter-relationships in the
system.
• Similar with the class diagram in UML.

Associated Object
Data Element Cardinality – Exactly 1
Cardinality – 0 or 1
Relationship Cardinality –Many
Cardinality – Optional Many

 Summary

♦ SASD is a process-driven software analysis

technique.
♦ SASD has a long history in the industry
and it is very mature.
♦ It provides a good documentation for
requirements.
♦ In recent years, it is widely used for
developing real-time embedded system’s
software.

 Use’s Of SASD

♦ Well-known problem domains

♦ Contract projects
♦ Real-time systems
♦ Transaction processing systems
♦ Not appropriate when time to market is short.
♦ In recent years, SASD is widely used in
developing real-time embedded systems.
