An Introduction to System Analysis Techniques

Studying under both authors at the university of sunderland, and being privvy to its content before this work was published. even then you knew that the work would be required reading for those who may find the subject difficult to get a handle on. The book also covers more advanced topic such as entity life histories quite well.

However it would have been better if it provided more information of other knowledge elicitation techiniques such as soft systems and business analysis

One of the best books written on Structured Techniques, 2008-10-14
I have used and recommended this book to students taking my 1st year systems analysis courses ever since I first discovered it a number of years ago, and I have yet to find a better book on the subject. It is clearly written, well explained, has numerous examples, and the authors clearly understand the mistakes that students of the subject often make when they are first learning it. Some of the techniques described are a little out of favour in the world Object Oriented and Agile development, however they are still valuable, practical tools for getting a system right, and this book goes a long way to proving that. Anyone studying and developing information systems should add this to their bookshelf.

**AN ESSENTIAL BOOK FOR ANYONE STUDYING SYSTEMS ANALYSIS!!, 2003-09-20
I had the privilege of being taught Systems Analysis by David Deeks at the University of Sunderland (2002-2003). This book not only explains Systems Analysis techniques in a very easy to understand manner but it actually makes understanding it totally enjoyable! It was not daunting to me in any way (which is what I expected) and was absolutley invaluable as not only a learning tool but as a reference guide too. It also includes a major section on Piso which proved extremely interesting.
I can only recommend that this is THE book for anyone studying Systems Analysis Techniques, and I hope that you get the same satisfaction out of it that I did.

Combines SSADM and object-oriented, 2004-04-23
I have read lots of texts on object-oriented development and UML, and afew on SSADM and data flow diagrams. What i needed was a text thatexplained the pros and cons of each, without being biased towards one sideor the other. This book does just that - a really well written text.

A very practical book, 2002-11-05
This book is a practical book which takes the reader through various structured analysis techniques. Throughout the book there are lots of examples which give the book depth. The book adheres to SSADM notation. Towards the end of the book object oriented analysis is also covered. This is a very useful text for students studying systems analysis on Undergraduate and Post Graduate courses and for IS practioners. I can recommend this book.
