1. What are the major responsibilities of System Analysis?

Responsible for drawing precise and clear specifications for programmers and managers to
understand easily. That includes text, documents, and flow charts for visual understanding of
computer programmers.
A systems analyst manages and enhances computer systems directly for organizations or their
clients.
System Implementation: Oversee the deployment of the system and ensure it integrates
smoothly with existing processes.

Modeling and Prototyping: - Developing models and prototypes to visualize system


functionalities and gather user feedback.

Requirements Gathering: - Collecting and documenting user and system requirements through
interviews, surveys, and observations.

Documentation: - Preparing comprehensive documentation that outlines system specifications,


design decisions, and user manuals.

Feasibility Analysis: - Evaluating economic, technical, operational, and legal feasibility of


proposed systems.

Stakeholder Communication: Act as a liaison between stakeholders, developers, and users to


ensure alignment.

Testing and Validation: Ensure that the system meets the specified requirements through
testing.

2. How does Economic Feasibility can be built?


It is a critical tool for evaluating the economic feasibility of projects. It involves listing and
quantifying all the benefits and costs associated with a project to determine if the benefits outweigh
the costs.

The formula used for CBA is: Net Benefit=Total Benefits−Total Costs This formula helps you
decide if a project is financially worth pursuing.

Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is a metric used in financial analysis to estimate the
profitability of potential investments. It is the discount rate that makes the net present value (NPV)
of all cash flows from a particular project equal to zero. The IRR formula is used implicitly in
computer software and financial calculators, as it involves solving the

Net Present Value (NPV):- is a technique used to evaluate the profitability of an investment or
project by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows. The formula for NPV

Cost-Benefit Analysis:- Assessing the costs of the project against the expected benefits,
including tangible and intangible factors.

3. How does Technical Feasibility can be built?


It involves evaluating in detail the technical requirements, constraints, and capabilities of the
proposed solution/process to determine whether it is feasible to develop, implement, and
maintain it within the given constraints and available resources

Integration Considerations:- Identifying how the new system will integrate with existing
systems and technologies.

Technology Assessment:- Evaluating the current technologies available and their suitability for
the proposed system.

System Architecture:- Designing a preliminary architecture that aligns with existing systems
and infrastructure.

Resource Availability:- Assessing whether the necessary hardware, software, and skills are
available within the organization.

4. List and describe some open source Software?


WordPress:- is a free, open-source CMS (content management system) written in PHP which
uses MySQL database. Earlier it was only known as a blogging platform but now it has evolved
to be much more than that.
 It is, it handles both, the backend as well as the front end of websites. With the use of
WordPress, one can create blogs, E-commerce websites, Business websites, E-learning
websites, Portfolio websites, and many more.
Python:- is a programming and scripting language commonly used by developers.
 Hence, it is regarded as one of the premier open-source software choices for developers.
 Thanks to its comprehensive standard libraries, Python is often described as a language
that comes with “batteries included.”

PHP: - It is a scripting language used mainly for web development. The plus point is that it can
be embedded into HTML. It is said to be the best open-source software example.

Apache HTTP Server:- A popular web server software that delivers web content and handles
web requests. It is known for its flexibility and extensive features.

Page 1(One)
MySQL: - An open-source relational database management system that is widely used for web
applications and data storage.
5. List and explain the 4 types of System Level?
Departmental Systems: - Systems designed for specific departments within an organization,
such as HR or Finance systems. They support departmental functions and improve efficiency.

Inter-organizational Systems: - Systems that facilitate communication and data exchange


between different organizations. Examples include supply chain management systems and
collaborative platforms.

Individual Systems:- These are standalone systems that perform specific functions for
individual users or small groups. Examples include personal computers and mobile applications.

Enterprise Systems: - Large-scale systems that integrate various departmental systems across
an organization. Examples include ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and CRM (Customer
Relationship Management) systems.
