Question

Why is it important to use systems analysis and design methodologies when building a system? Why not just build the system in whatever way seems to be "quick and easy"? What value is provided by using an "engineering" approach? Also, Give a specific example of an organization (not one listed in the book) that does a good job of this and why.

Answer 1

Answer:

It encourages the documentation of the building process and serves as a good reference point when information about the system is needed. It also helps in the testing of the various components of the system for efficiency.

Explanation:

System analysis is the total evaluation of the working components of a system. it shows the health or functionality of components and analyzes the effect of their relationship on the total system performance.

The design methodology is an engineering process to achieving a complete system build. It follows a procedure, documenting its parameters and observations as the system is implemented.

Example of organizations that follows these methods in building their systems are automobile industries like Honda.
