Duration: 10-12 sessions

Professor: Ramin Khedmat Gozar

 :Analysis

The existing system is evaluated. Deficiencies are identified. This can be done by interviewing users of the system and consulting with support personnel

:Plan and requirements

 The new system requirements are defined. In particular, the deficiencies in the existing system must be addressed with specific proposals for improvement. Other factors defined include needed features, functions and capabilities

:Design

The proposed system is designed. Plans are laid out concerning the physical construction, hardware, operating systems, programming, communications and security issues

:Development

 The new system is developed. The new components and programs must be obtained and installed. Users of the system must be trained in its use

:Testing

All aspects of performance must be tested. If necessary, adjustments must be made at this stage. Tests performed by quality assurance (QA) teams may include systems integration and system testing

Deployment

 The system is incorporated in a production environment. This can be done in various ways. The new system can be phased in, according to application or location, and the old system gradually replaced. In some cases, it may be more cost-effective to shut down the old system and implement the new system all at once
