Textbook VS SWEBOK

Our text book, Systems Analysis and Design in a changing world by Satzinger, Jackson and Burd, outlines 6  core processes of systems development while SWEBOK, the Softwae Engineering Body of Knowledge, uses 10 knowledge areas to describe systems development.

SA&D	SWEBOK
ID problem/need and obtain approval to proceed	Software Requirements - A property that must be exhibited in order to solve some real-world problems
Plan and monitor project	Software Design -The process of defining the characteristics of system and the result of that process
Discover and understand details of the problem/need	Software construction - Detailed creation of the actual software.
Design the system components that solve the problem	Software Testing - The dynamic verification of the behavior of a program against its expected behavior.
Build, test and integrate system components	Software Maintenance
Complete tests and deploy	Software Configuration Management
	Software Engineering Process
	Software Engineering Tools and Methods
	Software Quality

SWEBOK appears to be a much more detailed approach to systems development than SA&D.  The areas that SWEBOK add are Software Maintenance, configuration management, engineering process, tools, methods and software quality.

The SA&D method seems to focus a little bit more on planning of design while the SWEBOK method has more focus on maintenance, customization and improvements after the deployment.

SA&D might be assuming the maintenance and further improvements will be part of the design or they hand over that portion to the client or 3rd party.

I think over all both have extremely valuable and important steps and that both process should be kept in mind when designing a system.
