1. Software Development and OOAD

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Software process : a set of activities that transforms user requirements into a software system

★ Must-know

  • The main phases are:
    • requirements identification
    • analysis
    • design
    • programming
    • testing
    • deployment and maintenance

📌 Analysis determines what the system does, whereas design determines how the system does it.

Further detail

  • Analysis and design act as the software's architectural blueprint, because writing code without analysis can make a system difficult to maintain, extend, and correct when business errors occur.

Memory Hook

Analysis asks what the system does, whereas design asks how it does it.

2. Traditional Development Models
