Software Development Methodologies

Consider the scenario where your school intends to develop a student management system. The system will need to hold all details of registered students, including personal information, courser taken, and examination grades. Then answer all the following and write about them in the paper:
1) A description of the core activities in the software development process
2) An explanation of the distinction between systems analysis and systems design and a description of the activities involved in each
3) An explanation of the benefits of information systems
4) An explanation of what the information system’s requirements are
5) An explanation of why the information system’s requirements are difficult to determine correctly
6) An explanation of why the testing stage of systems development is so important.
7) An explanation of the difference between the three stages of testing for an information system
8) A description the role of programming, conversion, production, and maintenance in systems development
9) An evaluation of which of the three (programming conversion, production, and maintenance) is most important to project success and why
10) An explanation of which of the three (conversion, production and maintenance) is most difficult to do correctly and why
11) An analysis of the benefits and limitations of each of the following methods of building information systems: traditional waterfall method, prototyping, and component-based development
12) A recommendation for which method the school should use for developing a student management system and justification of your choice
