What is OOA&D?
Method for analyzing and designing systems
Clarity about system requirements
Establish a basis for implementation
Not about object-oriented programming
Outcome
An analysis document: A brief, but complete description of system
requirements
A design document: Overview of the system’s parts and their
interactions
Uses the Unified Modeling Language (UML) for notion
What is Object-Orientation?
Objects in Analysis and Design
• Phenomenon in the
Analysis
Design
context of the IT-system
(outside the computer
system)
• Identity: identify an
object
• Behavior: the events an
object performs or
experiences
• Phenomenon in the IT-
system (inside the
computer system)
• Identity: get access to an
object
• Behavior: the operations
an object can perform on
request and offers to other
objects
Model the Context of the system

Problem Domain:
The part of a context that is
administered, monitored, or
controlled by a system
Application Domain:
The organization that
administrates, monitors, or
controls a problem domain
** A key task in analysis and design is to model what the system will administrate, monitor, or control
 Emphasize the Architecture
Focus on the system from the very start
of development.
Architecture:
A general structure that is later
developed further
System:
A collection of components that
implements modeling requirements,
functions, and interfaces
A Model of the Problem Domain

Model:
An updated representation of
the state in the problem
domain
User:
Is in the application domain
and gets information about the
problem domain mediated
through the model
Reuse Patterns
Exercise
Describe the problem domain and the application domain for
a system administrating the teaching in the university
a payroll system
an air traffic control system
an ATM machine controlling system
a device for measuring insulin
Identify examples of classes in the problem domain
Give examples of objects in the classes
