Enjoyable and Knowledgeable Class During our CIS course, we learned about the systems development life cycle (SDLC) and covered decisions and activities during some of the phases. SDLC has five phases; analysis, which is the phase to understand and document the current “as-is” state; requirements, which is a phase to define future “to be” state and end user requirements; design, which build technical blueprints of how the proposed system will work; development, which is the phase to transform the design into an actual system; and implementation, which rolls out and tests the new system. However, we only experienced three of the phases during our class, which are the analysis, requirements, and design phases. First of all, we formed our own groups and created an idea of our own app ideas that we wanted to design. Therefore, my group decided to create a recipe app for different kinds of delicious desserts named Dessert Search. During the phase of analysis, we drew out the “as is” process that users will search for a dessert recipe without our app. The process for users seemed to be more complicated and users needed to go through multiple websites to find the recipes that they desire. We also did SWOT analysis for our app, in which we determined our internal and external weakness and strengths for our app. Next, we drew the “to be” process, specified our target market, and created persona for our app during the requirement phase. The “to be” process showed the way the process would function after users use our app, which was more convenient and useful for users. We determined our target market and the amount of consumers that would be attracted to our app by using geographic, demographic, psychographic, and behavioral factors. Therefore, we also created a persona for our app, which created fictional characters with personal behavior patterns that would
