SSADM for the Advanced Practitioner

Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM) is a method for the design and analysis of computer systems developed following a commission from the UK Government's Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA). While this review of SSADM is based on version three of the method, the version current in 1989, the suggestions for the application of and enhancements to the method are appropriate to the future. The book will provide an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of SSADM, provide tricks of the trade in applying the SSADM techniques, procedures and standardize additional design techniques where, in the author's opinion, SSADM is deficient, and compare SSADM, where appropriate, to other competing structured design methods and review its current and likely position in the structured methods market place.
