The document defines key terms related to systems analysis and design including:
1) Automated design tools and computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools which evaluate hardware and software alternatives according to requirements.
2) Conversion which is the process of changing from an old system to a new one and training people.
3) Economic, operational, and technical feasibility which relate to the costs and benefits of a new system and its ability to function.

Software packages that evaluate hardware and software alternatives according to requirements given by the automated design tools systems analyst. (see also computer-aid software engineering) Software packages that evaluate hardware and software computer-aided software alternatives according to requirements given by the engineering (CASE) tools systems analyst. (see also automated design tools) The process of changing from the old system to the new conversion one and training people to use the new system. A design method that shows the data or information data flow diagram flow within an information system. A type of conversion where the conversion is done direct approach simply by abandoning the old and starting up the new. The costs of the new system are justified by the benefits economic feasibility it promises. A system design tool that shows the relationship grid chart between input and output documents. The system actually is made to operate in the operational feasibility organization. A document that shows levels of management and organization chart formal lines of authority. A type of conversion where the old and new systems are parallel approach operated side by side until the new one proves to be reliable. A type of conversion where the new system is phased approach implemented gradually over a period of time. A type of conversion where the new system is tried out pilot approach in only one part of the organization. preliminary investigation The first phase of the systems life cycle. To build a model or prototype that can be modified prototyping before the actual system is installed. A system development process that involves the use of rapid applications development powerful development software, small specialized (RAD) teams, and highly trained personnel. A collection of activities and elements organized to system accomplish a goal. A design tool that shows the flow of input data to system flowchart processing and finally to output, or distribution of information. The phase where data is collected about the present systems analysis system. A six-phase problem-solving procedure for examining systems analysis and design and improving an information system. (see also system life cycle) A document that describes the current information systems analysis report system, the requirements for a new system, and a possible development schedule. A person who plans and designs new systems or systems analyst reorganize a company’s computer resources to best utilize them. A process where the system’s performance is compared systems audit to the original design specifications. systems design The third phase of the system development life cycle. A document prepared for higher management and systems design report describes the alternative designs. systems development The fourth phase of the system development life cycle. systems implementation The fifth phase of the system development life cycle. A six-phase problem-solving procedure for examining systems life cycle and improving an information system. (see also system analysis and design) systems maintenance The sixth phase of the system development life cycle. Making sure reliable hardware, software, and training technical feasibility are available to make the system work. A method used to identify the top-level components of a top-down analysis method complex system.
