What is Analysis and Design?
Analysis - investigation of the problem (what);
What does the system do?
Investigation of the problem.
Design - conceptual solution to fulfill the requirements
(how); how will the system do what it is intended to do.
What (conceptual) solution will full the requirements

What is OO analysis and design?
Essence of OO analysis - consider a problem domain from the
perspective of objects (real world things, concepts)
Essence of OO design - define the solution as a collection of
software objects (allocating responsibilities to objects)
9-Aug-17 OOAD 6
Examples
OO Analysis - in the case of library information systems, one
would find concepts like book, library, patron
OO Design - emphasis on defining the software objects;
ultimately these objects are implemented in some programming
language; Book may have a method named print.

Digression: OO Concepts-Objects
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/concepts/
Objects: Anything that has a state and exhibits behavior.
Real world objects: Bicycle, student, course, dog, university,.
Software objects: Model real-world or abstract objects (e.g. a
list).
Methods: Procedures through which objects communicate
amongst themselves. Example: Bicycle: brake, park. Dog: bark,
eat. Student: register, study.
Attributes: Variables that hold state information. Bicycle: speed,
color, owner. Dog:name, breed. Student: name, ID.
9-Aug-17 OOAD 9
Digression: OO Concepts-Class
Class: Prototype for all objects of a certain kind. Student,
animal, university, shape, etc.
Objects: Created from a class. For example: s1, s2 are objects
from class Student.
BITS and Purdue are objects from class University. myCircle
and mySquare are objects from class Shape.
Inheritence: A class inherits attributes and methods from its
super class. This allows hierarchical organization of classes.
Interface: A contract between a class and its users. A class
implements an interface (methods and attributes).

Object-oriented Design
With traditional analysis methods, we
model the world using functions or
behaviors as our building blocks
With object-oriented analysis, we model
reality with objects as our building
blocks.
9-Aug-17 OOAD 11
Why we use objects ?
We deal with objects in everyday life the
world is full of objects
With object-oriented programming, data and
the methods that act on the data are nicely
packaged together (encapsulation)
Commonalties between objects can be
captured with a common base class
(inheritance), while their differences can be
preserved (polymorphism)
9-Aug-17 OOAD 12
The problem: How do we find
objects ?
This is a necessary step between
requirements/specifications and the
actual implementation of the solution.
9-Aug-17 OOAD 13
What are business processes?
First step - consider what the business must do; in the case of a
library - lending books, keeping track of due dates, buying new
books.
In OO terms - requirements analysis; represent the business
processes in textual narration (Use Cases).
9-Aug-17 OOAD 14
Roles in the organization
Identify the roles of people who will be involved in the
business processes.
In OO terms - this is known as domain analysis
Examples - customer, library assistant, programmer, navigator,
sensor, etc.
9-Aug-17 OOAD 15
Who does what? Collaboration
Business processes and people identified; time to
determine how to fulfill the processes and who executes
these processes.
In OO terms - object oriented design; assigning
responsibilities to the various software objects.
Often expressed in class diagrams.
