CHAPTER 1

The Problem and Its Background

Introduction

Software analysis, evolution, and re-engineering are areas that have gained significant attention in the software industry and in academia over the past decade. The Y2K problem and the Euro conversion problem are just two of the many reengineering and evolution problems that affected the software industry in a world-wide scale. Software analysis, evolution, and reengineering techniques have matured significantly over the past years. Furthermore, more recently, the introduction of iterative and incremental development models such as Extreme Programming (XP) and the Rational Unified Process (RUP) are now providing the opportunity for a new direction in the area of software analysis, evolution, and re-engineering. In the context of such iterative and incremental models, software development may take the form of analysis, evolution and transformation of models that pertain to a wide spectrum of software artifacts such as for business implementation and testing models. Thus, software analysis nowadays is very essential in the IT industry.

The Researchers were assigned to interview a company and analyze their software system to meet their requirements in System Analysis and Design. The Researchers picked Blue Angel Printing Press located in Banga 1st Plaridel Bulacan as their test software system analysis. Conducting this interview have given the researchers the information they need and the idea that their currently used software Adobe PageMaker 7.0 has also its own advantages and disadvantages. While moving on to the other part of this research, other factors will be given emphasis.

Statement of the Problem

1. It is not compatible with other programs.

2. When opening the software, it takes long to fully load it.

3. Lack of content like design and fonts.

4. This program can only be used well by people who is knowledgeable and familiar with such program.
