An Overview of the Recent Trend of System Analysis and Design


Hiroshi IKEDA, Norio TOMII
As software products are becoming larger and more complex, more attention is payed on how to analyze and design the software more efficiently, and how to reuse the software products developed so far more intensively. Thus, a number of such methods have been proposed until now. This article presents an overview of the recent trend of software analysis and design methods, including Structural analysis/design, Data Flow Diagram, Entity-Relationship model, Object Oriented Analysis/Design and Domain Analysis/Modeling.
