Abstract: This text provides an approach to information systems development and teaches readers how to develop and implement information systems in an engineered, disciplined manner. It features complete coverage emphasizing traditional methodologies, modelling tools, and techniques, and the most recent developments in the field such as CASE tools; Joint application development (JAD); Rapid application development (RAD); Specialists with advanced tools (SWAT) teams; Object-oriented design; Output, input process, controls, network, and computer architecture design; and software design, coding, and testing. The text also provides an introduction to SDLC, prototyping, JAD, modelling tools, project management techniques and CASE technologies.

TL;DR: RAD and FOCUS were determined to be the methodology and tool of choice respectively for application development for the MIS department and the benefits of IEF did not outweigh its costs.
Abstract: : The Management Information Systems Department of the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) is considering using the information engineering methodology with Texas Instrument's Information Engineering Facility (IEF), an integrated computer-aided software engineering toolset, for application development The costs and benefits of introducing information engineering and IEF versus the rapid application development methodology and fourth generation programming language, FOCUS, were analyzed through a case study developed in both EEF and FOCUS IEF offers a one model implementation, a standard computerized methodology, consistency checking, management tools for the application developer, and superior diagramming features and screen design whereas FOCUS offers rapid prototyping, numeric functions, a report facility, security within the data model, inherent database management facilities and excellent documentation The benefits of IEF did not outweigh its costs RAD and FOCUS were determined to be the methodology and tool of choice respectively for application development for the MIS department Computer-Aided software Engineering, CASE, Information Engineering, IEF, Information Engineering Facility, a ion FOCUS, Rapid Application Development, Methodology
