System Life Cycle

Some people do not follow any order when designing software. This can´t be good because if they truly analyzed what the problem was they could develop better solutions. In the analysis they should talk with their project´s final user and gather all the possible information, perform a feasability study and break down every part of the problem in order to develop a excellent product.

After all the analysis is done then comes the next step. Design is the part in wich operations are described in detail, including screen layouts, business rules, process diagrams and other documentation. Also it is generally included functional hierarchy diagrams, screen layout diagrams, tables of business rules and pseudocodes. It is intended to be detailed in sufficient detail that a skilled programmer can usually develop the software with minimal additional input design.

In Design also prototypes are made some of them do not work and as the progress is being made bugs are fixed. Several models are released before the final product is done.
The master document that is created in this phase is the 'Systems Requirement Document' in wich is specified what is needed in order to operate.

If it is an emergency you should always tell the person first what is going on. And basically ask for their permission to use your mobile device.
3. Summarize three common mistakes and how to deal with them.
  • People tend to ask questions without researching first, this annoys people because most of the times those questions are already answered. An easy fix for this is use the search engine before asking.
  • Another common mistake is that people use abbreviations. They are ok when you are talking with your friends but limit them to those kind of talks because in workplace it makes you look informal.
  • Also people do not seem to understand that subtle emotions are not transmitted correctly on emails,chats and forums and that they must be clear and precise
