What is Analysis and Design?

Analysis emphasizes an investigation of the problem and requirements, rather than a solution. For example, if a new online trading system is desired, how will it be used? What are its functions?

Requirements analysis (an investigation of the requirements)

Object-oriented analysis (an investigation of the domain objects)

 

Design emphasizes a conceptual solution (in software and hardware) that fulfills the requirements, rather than its implementation. As with analysis, the term is best qualified, as in object-oriented design or database design.

 

What is Object-Oriented Analysis and Design?

During object-oriented analysis there is an emphasis on finding and describing the objects or concepts in the problem domain. For example, in the case of the flight information system, some of the concepts include Plane, Flight, and Pilot.

During object-oriented design there is an emphasis on defining software objects and how they collaborate to fulfill the requirements. For example, a Plane software object may have a tail Number attribute and a get Flight History method.

Note: 在航空制造行业，每一台飞行器或尾翼号(tail number) 都是唯一的
