Abstract

The process of system analysis and its planning includes various stages. Over the years various methodologies have been defined for this process. The methodologies themselves constitute a method that regulates the various stages in the process of planning and developing the information system. Each methodology has its own advantages and disadvantages but, generally, the correct methodology must be adapted to the required system.The aim of this article is to describe a new methodology, known as OODPM - Object Oriented Design by a Prototype Methodology, that integrates two existing methodologies, namely OOD and Prototype, bringing together many advantages. The principle advantages of this method are as follows: the ability to reduce planning time; to better define user requirements; to plan an enhanced information system; to bridge the gap between the design of the required solution and its development. This article will offer a brief survey of the methodologies currently used in the development and planning of information systems, focusing on the OODPM method and the tools it uses.
