2. Analysis Phase

2. Analysis Phase in SDLC

The Analysis phase involves gathering detailed requirements from stakeholders and analyzing them to create a clear and precise requirement specification document. This phase is critical for understanding what the software needs to do and how it should function.

2.1. Key Activities:

Requirement Elicitation: Using techniques such as interviews, surveys, and observation to gather requirements.
Requirement Analysis: Analyzing gathered requirements to ensure they are complete, clear, and feasible.
Requirement Documentation: Creating a detailed requirement specification document that serves as a reference for the design and implementation phases.

2.2. Best Practices:

Use Visual Aids: Utilize diagrams, flowcharts, and use cases to visualize requirements and enhance understanding.
Validate Requirements: Regularly review and validate requirements with stakeholders to ensure accuracy and completeness.

2.3. Benefits:

Ensures a clear understanding of user needs.
Helps in identifying potential issues early in the development process.
Provides a solid foundation for the design phase.

2.4. Limitations:

Time-consuming and requires significant stakeholder involvement.
Risk of misinterpreting requirements if not properly validated.

2.5. Example Scenario: For the “JUST-Learning” platform, the analysis phase involves conducting interviews with instructors to understand their teaching requirements, surveying students to gather their learning preferences, and analyzing this data to create a comprehensive requirement specification document.

2.6. Example Code Section:

# Example of creating a simple requirements document in Python

requirements = [

    {"id": 1, "description": "User should be able to sign up and log in.", "priority": "High"},

    {"id": 2, "description": "Course content should be accessible online and offline.", "priority": "Medium"},

    {"id": 3, "description": "System should support multiple languages.", "priority": "Low"}

]

for req in requirements: print(f"Requirement ID: {req['id']}, Description: {req['description']}, Priority: {req['priority']}")
