Abstract

Although this paper deals with object-oriented software development in general, the focus is definitely set on object-oriented analysis (OOA). After a short comparison of the most important OOA approaches, a new one will be derived. This approach is evolutionary, non-domain specific and starts at the definition of a software system. Based on this approach there will be a presentation of an expert supported OOA tool (ESA), which supports an analyst starting at the collection of the requirements through the analysis of an object-oriented system up to a preliminary high-level design. Both the method and the tool are conceived for the needs of practitioners.
