Phases of Object-Oriented Software Development

Object-Oriented Development is a structured approach to design and build software systems using the principle of Object-Oriented Programming(OOP). The Process of designing a system consists of several Phases, which help to ensure that the system is well-designed, and meets all the requirements of the user. Phases of the Object-Oriented Approach promote modularity, and reusability which helps developers to manage the system easily throughout the cycle.

Object-Oriented Analysis

Object-Oriented Analysis (OOA) is the initial Phase in Software Development that focuses on the Understanding User Requirement in terms of Objects. OOA is the important phase in Software Development that help in understanding, organizing and defining the problem or system before moving into the designing Part and Implementation Part. OOA focuses on How the model should Function and how it must Developed. The Output of the Analysis is clear and detailed Understanding of the Problem statement and the requirement of the System.

Object-Oriented Design

Object Oriented Design is a Key phase in Software Development followed by Object Oriented Analysis. OOD is a process of creating a well-structured and Organized Design for a Software System based on Object Oriented Paradigm and it is Important part in System Design. Object Oriented Design focuses on the implementation of System based on Analysis and it involves taking the models and insights gathered during the analysis phase and turning out into well-structured ,efficient software system.

Object Oriented Design includes both:

• System Design
• Object Design

System Design

System Design is critical part in Object Oriented Design where we design a Software System based on the information gathered during Analysis of the requirement of the Software. System Design focuses on the roadmap that provides how various components and modules of the software will work together. Designing a system is done according to both Analysis and the purposed Architecture of system

Object Design

Object Design is critical part of Object Oriented Design where the main focus is on the detailed design of individual Classes and Objects, Specifying how they are Implemented on the System design of Software Development. Object Design is the foundation of writing Actual Code for the Software Development and it must be ensured that system is efficient, easily maintainable and extensible.

Object Oriented System is a type of development model where Objects are used to specify different aspects of an Application. Everything including Data, information, processes, functions, and so on is considered an object in Object-Oriented System.
