…,”the process of analysising a computer system starts with a broad look at the system which is then looked down into smaller parts. Each of the smaller parts can then be broken down into even smaller and so on. This approach enables a complete analysisi to occur without the initial task appearing to be a task so large as to be unable to be completed. the purpose of the analysis phase of the sysstem development life cyclce is to document what the current system does and highlight the strengths and defecienices in it. in the analyssis of the system the following should occur -identification and evaluation of sources of information-idenfitication and description of the yypes of information needed to analysise the system identification and description of information needed to design the systeminformation flow and needs documented using system modeling tools. idenfitication and description of problem areas in the current system
which are grouped and become the basis for the development of the new system.”
