Systems Analysis and Design with UML, 4th Edition

CHAPTER 7

MOVING ON TO DESIGN

Object-oriented system development uses the requirements that were gathered during analysis to create a blueprint for the future system. A successful object-oriented design builds upon what was learned in earlier phases and leads to a smooth implementation by creating a clear, accurate plan of what needs to be done. This chapter describes the initial transition from analysis to design and presents three ways to approach the design for the new system.

• Understand the transition from analysis to design
• Understand the use of factoring, partitions, and layers
• Be able to create package diagrams
