Object-Oriented Analysis and Design

Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) is a methodology used in software development that focuses on identifying and organizing the components of a system, known as "objects." These objects represent real-world entities with attributes (data) and behaviors (functions). In OOAD, developers analyze the requirements of a system and design it by creating models that depict how these objects interact. This approach aims to make software more modular, reusable, and easier to maintain, reflecting the way people naturally understand and categorize their experiences.
