System Analyst<\/a>. The major steps in creating an application include the following and start at Planning step.<\/p>\nDuring the Design phase the System Analyst will document the inputs, processing and outputs of each program within the application. During the Implementation phase programmers would be assigned to write the specific programs using a programming language decided by the System Analyst. Once the system of programs is tested the new application is installed for people to use. As time goes by, things change and a specific part or program might need repair. During the Maintenance phase, it goes through a mini planning, analysis, design and implementation. The programs that need modifcation are identifed and programmers change or repair those programs. After several years of use, the system usually becomes obsolete. At this point a major revision of the application is done. Thus the cycle repeats itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
