Record Reviews
Records and reports are the collection of information and data accumulated
over the time by the users about the system and it's operations. This can also
put light on the requirements of the system and the modifications it has undergone.
Records and reports may have a limitation if they are not up-to-date or if some
essential links are missing. All the changes, which the system suffers, may not
be recorded.
The analyst may scrutinize the records either at the beginning of his study
which may give him a fair introduction about the system and will make him familiar
with it or in the end which will provide the analyst with a comparison between
what exactly is/was desired from the system and it's current working.
One drawback of using this method for gathering information is that practically
the functioning of the systems is generally different from the procedure shown
in records. So analyst should be careful in gathering in gathering information
using this method.
