Credit Default Swap Workflow

Hi, 

I'm new to the cds space and working on a masters paper on credit default swaps,

I'm trying to understand the entire workflow of what variables and processes of how a credit default swap is made.

Are there any manuals or books on how an investment bank or trader may use to analyze and perform risk analysis on betting on a credit default swap deal.
