CHAPTER TWO: SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

2.1Overview
System analysis and design is second step in the project and the first step in
software system development. The project started with the project initiation activities
including the feasibility study, cost benefit analysis and project management activities. The
second phase in the project is system analysis and design that is considered the key phase
for the software system development
1
.
In the system analysis and design phase, the system functions will be formally
documented and detailed to the level that allows the system design to be done. The system
analysis and design step includes identification of data entities along with their attributes.
Non-functional reuirements will be also formally stated in the system analysis and design
phase. ! brief description of the database design will be included as a start point for the
ne"t phase of system design and implementation.
The basic design concept is the design of the search algorithm of the system along
with the design of the database. The system contains two types of search. The first is the
search for the jobs that consider # inputs in one scenario and $ inputs in another scenario.
The second search is the employer %& search to search for a job seeker with best match.
The system is not built to be an artificial intelligence once. 'owever, it depends on
the database design to get the search done in the reuired response time. The other part of
the search is related to the web pages design that consider the human computer interaction
concepts reducing the number of mouse clicks reuired to accomplish a user function.
