Kendall and Kendall’s Systems Analysis and Design, Eighth Edition, is a human-centered book that concisely presents the latest systems development methods, tools, and techniques to students in an engaging and easy-to-understand manner. The eighth edition highlights the latest advancements in the rapidly changing Information Systems field and includes HyperCase designed by the Author. It includes substantial revisions mandated by the rapid changes in the IS field in the last three years. The new and updated features of the book are : Early integration of SLDC, agile approaches, and object-oriented systems analysis and design with the UML. Expanded coverage of commercial off the shelf software (COTS). Updated! HyperCase Experiences. New scenarios, graphics, and problems to accompany HyperCase version 2.8 are incorporated in this edition. HyperCase 2.8 is Web-based, interactive software that presents an organization called Maple Ridge Engineering (MRE) in a colorful, three-dimensional graphics environment. Updated! Consulting Opportunities. More than 60 minicases throughout the book address relevant and emerging topics that have arisen in the field, including designing systems from an HCI perspective, e-commerce applications for the Web, COTS software, and using UML tomodel information systems from an object-oriented perspective. New! Mac Appeal feature columns. These columns update students on innovative design software available on the Mac. Updated! CPU Case Episodes. Strengthened Project Management by introducing the Project Charter early in the process. Early introduction of how to prepare the systems proposal. Reorganized, updated, and strengthened chapter on agile methods. Object-oriented analysis and design is expanded and featured in the center of the text so it can be more easily incorporated into term projects. New object-oriented analysis and design problems included in the CPU Episode. Improvements to the Quality Assurance and Implementation chapter include new coverage of cloud computing and a new section on service-oriented architecture (SOA).
