Abstract :
An experiment was conducted to highlight the technicality of two quite different but well known software development methodologies: System Analysis-System Design (SA-SD) and Jackson System Development (JSD). There was no attempt to reach a general conclusion about which software development methodology is better, looking from all aspects. Comparison was done by means of a questionnaire which was completed by 12 young engineers after they had finished their seminar work in postgraduate study. The results obtained speak in favor of the SA-SD methodology because it is more understandable to an engineer
