3.3 Building the Analysis Model :
 Analysis Model is a technical representation of the system.
 It acts as a link between system description & design model.
 It defines information, function, and behavior of a computer-based
system and translates into the architecture, component and interface
level design in the design modeling.
 As developers learn more about the system to be built, the model
changes dynamically and stakeholders understand more about what
they really require.
 Thus the analysis model is a snapshot of system requirements at any
given time.
 Change to analysis model should be anticipated.
 As the analysis model evolves, certain elements will become
relatively stable thus provide a solid foundation for the design.
 However other elements of the model may be more volatile, as
stakeholders don’t understand the system requirements fully yet.

3.3.1 Elements of the Analysis Model :
 The analysis model is shown in different modes of
representation.
 These modes of representation force developers to consider
the requirements from different viewpoints.
 an approach that has a higher probability to identify omissions,
inconsistencies, and ambiguity.
 A set of generic elements to most analysis models are…
 Scenario-based elements.
 Class-based elements.
 Behavioral elements.
 Flow oriented elements.

Scenario-based elements :
 The system is described from the user’s point of view using a
scenario-based approach.
 Scenario based elements are use case diagram, user stories.
 “Use-cases are simply an aid to define what exists outside the
system (actors) and what should be performed by the system
(use-cases).”
 It is also typically the first stage of requirements modeling, as it
identifies the primary use cases for the proposed software
to which later stages of requirements modeling will refer.
 For example, basic use cases and their corresponding use
case diagrams evolve into more elaborate template-based use
cases.

Class-based elements :
 Each usage scenario implies a set
of objects that are manipulated as
an actor interacts with the system.
 These objects are categorized into
classes - a collection of things that
have similar attributes and
common behaviors.
 For example, a UML class diagram
can be used to show a Sensor
class for the Safe-Home security
function.
 Other analysis modeling elements
show how the classes collaborate
with one another as well as their

relationships and interactions.

Behavioral elements :
 The state diagram is one
method for representing the
behavior of a system by
showing its states and the
events that cause the system
to change state.
 A state is any externally
observable mode of behavior.
 In addition, the state diagram
indicates actions taken as a
consequence of a particular
event.

Flow oriented elements :
 An information flows through a computer-based system it gets
transformed.
 It shows how the data objects are transformed while they flow
between the various system functions.
 The flow elements are data flow diagram, control flow diagram.
