Requirements Elicitation techniques
 Requirements determination methods are techniques which help to gather all the
information needed by analysts so as to develop a system which performs its
functionalities correctly, which satisfies what users are expecting from it.
 System analysts use different types of techniques and methods of gathering
requirements, and some of the methods are:
Modern Methods:
Traditional methods  Prototyping
 Interview  Joint Application Design(JAD)
 Questionnaire  CASE Tools
 Etc.
 Document analysis
 Direct observations

 Each of these different types of requirements determination methods has its own
strength and weaknesses and
 The analysts choose the method which suits the best to collect the right
requirements about the expected system.

Selecting The Best Design Strategy
Selecting the best alternative system involves at
least two basic steps:
(1) generating a comprehensive set of
alternative design strategies, and
(2) selecting the one that is most likely to result
in the desired information system.

Deliverables and Outcomes of the System Analysis Phase
The primary deliverable of the system analysis phase is
SRS document.
System Requirements Specifications(SRS):
 SRS is a document with detail and formal description
of all system requirements and functionalities, in
which software company and stakeholders are finally
made a binding agreement for the new system.
 It is the reference document on which the new system
is going to be validated and evaluated whether it
achieves customer’s objectives or not.
 It is the main input material for the system design
phase.
