Sampling of Existing Documentation, Forms, and Files
Document and File Sampling Techniques
- Because it would be impractical to study every occurrence of every form, analysts normally use sampling techniques to get a large enough cross section to determine what can happen in the system.
- Sampling is the process of collecting sample documents, forms, and records.
- Experienced analysts avoid the pitfalls of sampling blank forms -- they tell little about how the form is used, not used, or misused.
- When studying documents or records from a database table, you should study enough samples to identify all the possible processing conditions and exceptions.
