Background
- We need to gather specific information when applying the SDLC
- For new systems, we need in-depth info on how the system should work, along with the outcomes
- For upgrading old systems, we need to assess how the current system works before planning changes
What techniques can we use?
- Observation = when we simply look at the existing system and take notes on how it functions
- Questionnaires = we can create surveys or questionnaires to give to users of the system to get some real time feedback and information regarding the system
- Interview = we can also interview existing users to examine their knowledge of the current system, and also to gather feedback on potential changes or upgrades
- Sample Forms = we can create forms to get information from current users, similar to surveys and questionnaires
- Sampling Work = also known as studying documentation, we can simply take existing documents and work and write notes based off the information provided
