The context of systems analysis and design methods -- Information systems development -- Project management -- Systems analysis -- Fact-finding techniques for requirements discovery -- Modeling system requirements with use cases -- Data modeling and analysis -- Process modeling -- Object-oriented analysis and modeling using the UML -- Feasibility analysis and the system proposal -- Systems design -- Application architecture and modeling -- Database design -- Output design and prototyping -- Input design and prototyping -- User interface desing -- Object-oriented design and modeling using the UML -- Systems construction and implementation -- Glossary.

A complete, but less complex approach to SA&D. Introduction to Systems Analysis & Design is organized like Whitten’s best-selling Systems Analysis & Design Methods, but without the information systems architecture framework theme that overwhelms some students. Each chapter covers the same topics, but stops short of advanced details that are unnecessary to the typical first course.
