Assignment 3 on SAD1

Considering my personality type in data gathering techniques used in system analysis, I usually have a habit of observing in gathering information. As an observer, Its my obligation to find possible problems and finding ways to fix. But observation will not give much detail information, its just an information you see in an overview. In comes with critical information gathering, I am most comfortable with using a questionnaires where you can ask much detailed questions. After all information has been gathered in questionnaires, I can now create protocols and have an interview for confirmation and improvement.

Assignment 2 on SAD1

Relating the SDLC (System Development Life Cycle) in achieving my objective in life, I would preferred to have more predictive approach than adaptive approach. I choose predictive so that I can measure of what im going to do and preparation to make for creating and achieving my objective.

For me, details in SDLC model would be..

Preparation....

In achieving goal, You will have to adjust or adapt to your surroundings and environment cause its much better to have a good environment and companies at your surrounding in undertaking your objectives. You will also know your capabilities and limitations in terms of your resources. With this, I have to know and manage my abilities and limitation first as my source of courage and develop experience.


Initializing a Plan...

Undertaking objective needs to have a plan as the solid backbone of performing a task. Planning is a preparation for predicted occurrence in every step of the phase. In planning, you will have to know your role and able to fulfill that role in regards to your capabilities and limitations. You will initialize a plan according to your experience, knowledge and available resources. Planning will be studying the plot of making right decision for possible problem in every step of the phase.


Testing...

If plan is initialized and can be tested, then you have to test it if it works. Testing is observing, recording and gathering information for possible negative effects. This is the stage where the plan will be complete almost perfectly. Testing can also become experiences.


Implementation...

The moment at work. It is the phase were you are working in undertaking your objectives. As you're taking your objective, you must stick to the plan and try never to shift for alternate output. You must also keep a record in every phase of your work. Make your work smooth and try to avoid conflict and errors.


Counter Measures...

In implementation of your plan in undertaking your objectives, there are times that an unexpected event can occurred. For this, you will have to prepare a prediction in your plan for solving such problems. In case that it occurred, then pause at that phase and try to fix without affecting other phases of your work. You can get help and advice to others who is similar to your problem.


Maintenance...

After you accomplished and complete your objectives, value your work and experience. With your accomplishments, you can help others and both of you can share idea and experiences of handling encountered problems. And don't forget to give thanks to God and others who lend a hand in your accomplishments.

Assignment 1 on SAD1

At first, our group proposal was rejected by our previous instructor, Ma'am Tammy. The reason is for its simplicity that it is a small system (a system record keeping for day care center in Ulha Village, Ulas) I think it doesn't worth the three or more years of learning from the university for that. After our proposal being rejected, Ma'am Tammy suggested us that instead of studying outside the campus, we can conduct our study inside the university by choosing one of the university's department who need a system or for enhancing an existing system. Ma'am Tammy suggesting many department (about 9 departments... as I can remember) and our group pick up the Personnel Information System for the Human Resource department.
With our chosen system department. I think it worth the three or more years of learning I get from the university since it is part of the university as well. With this, analysis and designing will be complex as the university evolve. We will need to study more about analyzing, designing and techniques as the system will continue to evolve.
Were hoping that our group can help the department with our studies as for our group are trying our best.

Reflection on SAD1 Discussion

I'm really amazed of how fast our discussion in 7 long chapters in a short period of time of one and a half days. Honestly, because of this fast phase, my head aches of absorbing all I can remember. Well, I just have to review though.
After all the reporting, I start to think that being a Computer Science student does not mean only to work with computers. I realize now that System Analysis and Design is not only done in computers only but you should have an interaction to other people as well. In the process of analyzing a system as well as designing, we are obligate to make solutions in the problems of our clients. Yet, from our discussion, analyzing and designing are amazingly takes a lot of time more than I imagine. Computer programming is just one of the phase in SAD after analyzing and designing that I think before the only role for a CS student.
Now were done in our report discussion, lets try our best for our major paper and assignments.
