Ans. Object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) is a popular technical approach for analyzing and designing an application, system, or business by applying object-oriented programming, as well as using visual modeling throughout the development life cyclesto foster better stakeholder communication and product quality.
According to the popular guide Unified Process, OOAD in modern software engineering is best conducted in an iterative and incremental way. Iteration by iteration, the outputs of OOAD activities, analysis models for OOA and design models for OOD respectively, will be refined and evolve continuously driven by key factors like risks and business value.
It is important to note that with the increasing complexity of systems, importance of modeling techniques increases. Because of its characteristics Object Oriented Modeling is a suitable modeling technique for handling a complex system. OOM basically is building a model of an application, which includes implementation details of the system, during design of the system.
Any system development refers to the initial portion of the software life cycle: analysis, design, and implementation. During object oriented modeling identification and organization of application with respect to its domain is done, rather than their final representation in any specific programming language. We can say that OOM is not language specific. Once modeling is done for an application, it can be implemented in any suitable programming language available.

OOM approach is a encouraging approach in which software developers have to think in terms of the application domain through most of the software engineering life cycle. In this process, the developer is forced to identify the inherent concepts of the application. First, developer organize, and understood the system properly and then finally the details of data structure and functions are addressed effectively.

  1. Thanks for the glossary! The described approach looks pretty effective.
