Complete Systems Analysis: The Workbook, the Textbook, the Answers

Rating:
Summary: Thorough and clear -- good choice for a course textbook
Review: Unlike many books on systems analysis, the Robertsons' does not confuse analysis with "design". This book focuses on developing an unambiguous system specification which both the sponsoring end users and the developers can understand.

The examples are clear and well chosen, small enough to be understood, big enough not to be trivial. This is an excellent main textbook for a course in systems analysis.

The documentation methodology is derived from the classic DeMarco "structured analysis". The book's main weakness is insufficient treatment of object-oriented concepts, especially in data definition.
