systems analysis
Investigation of a business activity or clerical procedure, with a view to deciding if and how it can be computerized. The analyst discusses the existing procedures with the people involved, observes the flow of data through the business, and draws up an outline specification of the required computer system. The next step is systems design. A recent system is Unified Modeling Language (UML), which is specifically designed for the analysis and design of object-oriented programming systems.

Systems analysis and design methodologies currently in use include Yourdon, SSADM (Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology), and Soft Systems Methodology.
