OOAD
Object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) is a software engineering approach that uses object-oriented concepts to analyze requirements and design software systems. It separates the work into analysis, which models the problem domain in terms of objects, their attributes, and responsibilities, and design, which specifies the software solution in terms of classes, objects, and their interactions. The aim is to produce software that is modular, extensible, and closely aligned with real-world entities while supporting reuse and maintainability.
OOAD drew popular attention in the 1990s through the work of Grady Booch, Ivar Jacobson, and James
Practically, OOAD proceeds in an iterative fashion, typically beginning with analysis to identify key objects and
While OOAD remains a foundational approach, modern development often blends object-oriented techniques with other paradigms and
