SSADM
Low level of structuredness
Has a medium requirement for user
involvement in the process
Is usually applied to LARGE potential
systems

Has a medium requirement for user
involvement
Aimed at large systems

How they compare
Apart from MERISE they all use dataflow
diagramming as a tool
All methods use Entity Modelling
All methods use Normalisation
All methods formally include Prototyping

How they compare
SSADM and Yourdon use Structure
diagrams/charts
SSADM, IE, Yourdon and MERISE break
down a problem by using progressively
lower level diagrams to model the
situation
Apart from notation, application of
diagrams is the same

RAD (Rapid Applications
Development)
1. Define the problem and identify
system requirements
2. Build the initial prototype
3. Use the prototype to refine existing
requirements
4. Revise and enhance the prototype

UML (Unified Modeling
Language)
It is methodology-independent. Regardless of
the methodology that you use to perform your
analysis and design, you can use UML to
express the results.
Modeling is the only way to visualize your
design and check it against requirements before
your crew starts to code
Structural Diagrams include the Class
Diagram, Object Diagram, Component Diagram,
and Deployment Diagram
