Towards a Tool Kit For the Systems Analyst

D. Benyon * and S. Skidmore

School of Mathematics, Computing and Statistics, Leicester Polytechnic, P.O. Box 143, Leicester LE1 9BH, UK

A review of the major systems analysis methodologies is undertaken in order to examine the aspects of information systems (IS) which they seem best able to represent. The importance of a collection of techniques – the analyst's tool kit – is stressed, and aspects of systems analysis poorly covered by existing methodologies are highlighted. The conclusion is drawn that one single methodology cannot cover the whole range of systems tasks.

Received July 1985. revised April 1986.

* Now at Open University
