Modern Systems Analysis and Design is your practical guide to the concepts, skills, methodologies, techniques and tools needed to develop information systems as a systems analyst. Successful completion of an introductory course in computer systems and experience designing programs in at least 1 programming language are a proper foundation for this text. Drawing on the systems development life cycle, the authors provide a conceptual and systematic framework while logically progressing through essential topics and related practice.

The 10th Edition reflects systems development today with updated coverage of agile methodologies, current visuals, figures and tables. Screenshots depict the latest versions of programming and development environments, and user interface designs. Reference lists at the end of each chapter have been updated and collectively offer more than 100 resources, including books, journals and websites current with technological trends in information systems analysis and design.
