Introduction to Analysis & Design
The purposes of Analysis & Design are:
- To transform the requirements into a design of the system-to-be.
- To evolve a robust architecture for the system.
- To adapt the design to match the implementation environment, designing it
for performance.
The Analysis & Design discipline is related to other disciplines, as follows:
- The
Requirements
discipline provides the primary input for Analysis and Design.
- The Implementation discipline
implements the design.
- The
Test
discipline
tests system designed during Analysis and Design.
- The
Environment
discipline develops and maintains the supporting artifacts that are
used during Analysis and Design.
- The
Project Management
discipline plans the project, and each iteration (described in an Iteration
Plan).
