History of System Analysis

Introduction

System analysis is a technique used in problem-solving and involves decomposing a software or system into its subcomponents so that they can be studied to know how they function together and interact to achieve the set common goal. Merriam-Webster dictionary describes system analysis as the process of studying a business or procedure to get its purposes and procedures to know the goals then create a system that can meet them effectively and efficiently. This process has a close relation to the operation research and requirements analysis (Cooke, 2001). A system may be defined as an entity or conceptual aspect or tool that has interdependent parts that must function as a single unit to achieve the set goals (Millington, 2008).
