Introduction
Object-oriented analysis is gaining in popularity
O-O designs translate very well into O-O programming languages, such as C++ and Java

RAD Advantages and disadvantagesAdvantages
Fast and less expensive
DisadvantagesFocus is on methodology, not business
needsFast design time may lower quality
Systems Analysis and Design Fourth Edition
Overview of Microsoft Solutions FrameworkObjectives is to define and analyze
business requirements and provide IT solutions
MSF is the plan and build phaseMicrosoft Readiness Framework
(MRF) is the prepare phaseMicrosoft Operations Framework
(MOF) is the manage phaseBAIT model – business, applications,
information, technology
