Integrating human factors with the Jackson System Development method: an illustrated overview

Abstract

The motivation for integrating human factors with structured systems analysis and design methods has been set out in earlier papers. In addition, a preliminary conception of such an integration has been proposed for the Jackson System Development method (referred to as JSD∗), and a set of requirements, research and strategies suggested for further developing this conception. The present paper reports the progress of the research, and presents an overview of the stage-wise design process, scope and notation of the JSD∗ method. The method is discussed and illustrated using a simple case-study concerning a Recreation Booking System.
