Rating: 2
Summary: Minimally Acceptable as a College Textbook
Comment: The authors take on a pretty broad topic, and give it just cursory overview. Their 16 chapters are divided into the broad areas of Planning, Analysis, Design, and Implementation. However, the individual chapters within the text are not well organized within those areas. For example, what are UML Class diagrams and structural modeling doing in the Analysis phase, when they more clearly belong in design? It seems like UML has been pasted into a systems book just so that a current buzzword can end up in the title. When was the last time any of you used CRC cards? Yet they end up in the same chapter with UML diagrams.
Chapter 10, System Architecture Design, is rather disappointing. Although the book mentions terrorist attacks, indicating its 2002 heritage, there is barely a mention of web-based deployment or eCommerce paradigms in this section.
Many of the anecdotes collected as side bars in the book are entertaining, but they don't always make a point relevant to the discussion at hand.
If this is your textbook for a class, pay close attention to the prof. You will get much better insights into System Analysis and Design from a real person with real-world experience, than this cobbled-together book.
