The Analysis and Design Phase

• Analysis describes what the system needs to do:

Modeling the real-world, including actors and

activities, objects, and behaviors

• Design describes how the system does it:

• Modeling the relationships and interactions

between objects and actors in the system

• Finding useful abstractions to help simplify the

problem or solution
