The document outlines the process of building basic accounting software for Bangoo Banks Inc., emphasizing the need for collaboration among developers and the importance of systems analysis, design, and development principles. It highlights the challenges faced in coding without standards, such as understanding others' code and managing version control, and stresses the necessity of following best practices and using project management tools. Ultimately, the document advocates for modular design, documentation, and the evolution of software through proper analysis and feedback.

1. Introducing
Systems Analysis, Design &
Development Concepts
Shafiul Azam Chowdhury

2. Task: Build a Simplest Accounting S/W
• You’ve been offered to build a very basic
accounting software for Bangoo Banks Inc.
– You’ll need to collaborate with 3-4 other
developers.
– You’ll receive handsome amount of cash for full
functional software!
– Deadline: very, very strict. Say, couple of months?

3. What are you going to do?
• Divide the total project in visible sections, say:
– User Accounts
– Human Resource
– Accounting
– Etc…
• And started asking questions to your clients
how they want the program behave, design
database…

4. All four developers started coding as
fast as you can to maintain deadline.

5. After some days… you felt like
integrating your works?
• But you figured out you need a change in some
part, you could change it, but others’ code can
break?
• You hardly understand what your friend means by
variable baln or function register()
• Your disc crashed and your codes are gone?
• You’ve created too many folders like code_old
code_working, code_new2, code_final… now
what?
• How do you merge everybody’s code to a full-
functional system?

6. Messed Up?
• Without putting your code in a function, you just wrote
it down, thinking, “Hey, I’ll not use this code anywhere
else! So Why do I need to put it in a function or class?”
• But, you never know…
– Client may change his mind
– New functionalities may appear in future
– And you’re very likely to duplicate same codes.
– Man is mortal. To fix buggy codes you’ll need to investigate
your whole project number of times you copy-pasted same
code.
• Hard to find bugs. 

7. Software Evolves…
• If your software is usable, it will have changes
in it and have future releases.
• Clients will add new features, or users will
want changes.

8. After some days, you’re about to bring
some changes in your code.

9. And…
Is that
Hebrew?
You don’t
understand your
own code 

10. If you don’t practice standards, it’ll be very,
very difficult to maintain the project later.
So What are
best practices?

11. Software Development Life Cycle

12. Introducing SADD
• Systems…
– Step 1: Analysis
– Step 2: Design
– Step 3: Development
• Step 4: Evolve! Back to step 1

13. First Step: Systems Analysis
• Known as Requirement Analysis
• Extract information from your clients on what
the software is supposed to do.
• Place them on SRS Cards
• Useful to understand the total scope of
application, defining priority and leads to
modular design.

14. Sample Requirement Analysis
for some Alumni Website…

15. SRS (Software Requirement Specification)
Cards for Requirement Analysis

16. Step 2: Design your system
• Once you’re done with analysis, design it.
• The great majority of the types of errors found
in testing the code had originated in the
design phase
– See figure in next slide.

18. Systems Design
• Following Design Patterns
– Why reinvent the wheel?
• Modular Design
– Loosely coupled code
– Easy to extend your program
– Code less. Reuse your code
• Build Wireframes
• Follow Single Responsibility Principle

19. Building Wireframe
• Create Mock-up/prototype of your application
before starting coding.
– Can be built using GUI tools very rapidly
– Client can know how your application will look
like/interact with users.
– Non functional.

20. Wireframe Tools

21. Single Responsibility Principle

22. Development: Teamwork

23. Code Green. Test Units.

24. Documentation
• You alone are not coding
– Others will work with your code
– You will work with other’s code.
• Provide Documentation

25. Take help of Development Tools
• You figured out you need a change in some
part, you could change it, but others’ code
can break?
• You hardly understand what your friend
means by variable baln or function
register()
• Your disc crashed and your codes are gone?
• You’ve created too many folders like
code_old code_working, code_new2,
code_final… now what?
• How do you merge everybody’s code to a
full-functional system?

26. Understanding Your Responsibility
You need to
work with a
lot of people!

27. Project Management Tools
• Coding is not your only responsibility.
– Issues are assigned to you by your Project
Manager
– Bug fixing tasks assigned to you
– You fix code and re-assign it to Tester.
• To simplify all these, various Tools are
available.
– Using these tools guarantee standards.

28. Tools: Revision Controlling
• Git is a powerful distributed version
controlling system.
– Stores complete history of your source code at
different stages of project life cycle.
– Easy merging of everyone’s copy of work.
– Distributed.

29. Project Management Tools
• Project Management applications come with
rich features like
– Role Management (PM, Tester, Designer,
Programmer,…)
– Bugs Reporting
– Issue Tracking & Assigning
– Gaunt Charts for schedule management
– Documentation

30. Tools: Gaunt Chart
