HyperCase (original, hypertext-based software created by the authors) now accompanies this book on an interactive website. This innovative software allows users first-hand experience with a business and organizational structure. They will interview employees, observe office dynamics and practices, analyze prototypes, and review existing systems. All activities are conducted within a business simulation called “Maple Ridge Engineering” and are based on real-life consulting experiences.
The book includes expanded coverage of data flow diagrams, data dictionaries, and process specifications. Introduces examples of new software used by analysts and designers to manage projects, analyze and document systems, design new systems, and implement their plans.
This book starts with the fundamental aspects of a system, its life cycles and then goes into data gathering and system design. I think it is an excellent book to start with for persons in MIS/ computer related fields.the book alos comes with a software in which various CASE tools are featured.The hypercase experience is most interesting where actually u interview people taking the role of a systems analyst.
