Sanjeetosphere: Analysis and Design

Analysis emphasizes on investigation of the problem and requirements. It's a broad term, so we will elaborate on the key ones:
- Requirements analysis
  - Investigates requirements
- Object oriented analysis
  - Investigates domain objects
During the analysis of the problem and its requirements when a project is started the points to discuss are:
- How is it going to be used?
- What problems it solves?
- What are its functions?
During an object oriented analysis the focus is on finding and describing the objects or concepts in the problem domain. e.g. Department, Designation and Role in a Payroll system.
Design emphasizes on a conceptual solution that is supposed to fulfill the requirements and doesn't care about implementation yet.
- A description of a database schema and domain objects
During object oriented design the focus is on defining the objects or concepts and figuring out how they collaborate with each other to fulfill a requirement. e.g. a Department may have many designations, and a designation may have different roles.
Object oriented programming follows analysis and design.
