Just enough data structuring
2 likes699 views
The document provides instructions for rapidly prototyping a system using structured analysis with minimal effort. It recommends choosing a visual notation style like Entity-Relationship diagrams, UML, or Data Flow Diagrams to model the system's entities, attributes, and relationships. The instructions then guide adding a diagram using the chosen style in a slide presentation to share with others for feedback before implementation.
Just enough data structuring
- 1. JUST ENOUGH STRUCTURED ANALYSIS FOR RAPID PROTOTYPERS
- 3. DESCRIBE YOUR PROPOSED SYSTEM/MODULE 1. OPEN A POWERPOINT OR SLIDE PRESENTATION 2. THINK WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AND DESCRIBE IT VERBALLY 2. READ UP ABOUT E/R NOTATION http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity-relationship_diagrams OR ABOUT UMLhttp://pigseye.kennesaw.edu/~dbraun/csis4650/A&D/UML_tutorial/class.htm OR ABOUT SIMPLE DATA FLOW DIAGRAMS AND JUST ENOUGH STRUCTURED ANALYSIS http://www.yourdon.com/strucanalysis/index.html 3.DECIDE AND DECLARE YOUR PREFERRED NOTATION STYLE AND HOW TO MODEL ENTITIES, ATTRIBUTES AND RELATIONSHIPS IN YOUR SYSTEM 4. USE THE RELEVANT TOOL ON YOUR SLIDE EDITOR TO CREATE A VISUAL NOTATION OF YOUR MODEL (INSERT/PICTURE/DATAFLOW to find the relevant icons) 5. SHARE YOUR SLIDESET AND GET EXPERTS AND USERS IN YOUR COMMUNITY TO COMMENT AND HELP YOU TO IMPROVE IT BEFORE IMPLEMENTATION
