Structured analysis is a traditional systems development technique that is time tested and easy to understand. Structured analysis uses a series of phases, called the systems development life cycle, to plan, analyse, design, implement, and support an information system.

Whereas structured analysis treats processes and data as separate components, object oriented analysis combines data and the processes that act on the data into things called objects.

As we can conclude from above text that this book has explained both approach in detail and also did comparison between both. So this book is useful writing the academic essay of assignment 2.

Objects are created that include not only code about data, but also instructions about the operations to be performed on it. It is strongly related to O-O programming. The Coad and Yourdon approach to O-O analysis based on five-layer model. These layers consist of class and object layer, structure layer, service layer, attribute layer and subject layer.

Structured analysis and design provides a systematic approach to designing and business quality computer system. Throughout the phases of analysis and design, the analyst should proceed step by step; obtain feedback from users and analysing the design for omission and errors. Moving too quickly to the next phase may require the analyst to rework portions of the design that were produced earlier.

As we have to compare and contrast O-O approach and Traditional approach for writing essay, above resource will be useful to explain and understand both approach.

Some form or other of structured analysis is and has long been standard for the specification of software requirements. Recent discussions in the software development community advocate object-oriented analysis as being preferable to structured analysis; such discussions further assert that structured analysis and object-oriented design are incompatible. Others have argued for the effectiveness of combined use of the two methods. It is the thesis of this paper that structured analysis is a desirable way to specify software requirements, and that structured analysis and object-oriented design are compatible and work effectively together.

As the above link is having text of discussion over traditional approach which is structured analysis and object-oriented design, this will add a great value to the academic essay of assignment2.
