OBJECT BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS

Analysis is the study and modeling of a given problem domain, within the context of stated goals and objectives. It focuses on what a system is supposed to do, rather than how it is supposed to do it (which we consider the design aspects). In addition, it must embody the rule of traceability (why), which justifies the existence of a given result by tying it back to the stated goals and objectives. The components of the problem domain can be described as anything that end users of the system, both humans and machines, view as part of the problem context. This may include technical issues, if the users view such issues as part of the problem.
