A Level - Syllabus of Module: A8-R5-Systems Analysis, Design and Testing
Introduction :
The module is designed to equip a person to understand System Analysis and Design
aspects. It provides theoretical background as well as in depth knowledge through case
studies. This module covers both structured and Object-oriented techniques to analyse
and design software.

application development, spiral, agile development, DevOps development
methodology.
Distributed System, centralized versus distributed system, components of distributed
system-processes, interfaces and data. Layers of distributed system-presentation
layers, application logic layer, data manipulation layer and data layer. Design and
layers of Internet Based applications.
