Requirements in an analysis must be:

• Actionable
• Measurable
• Testable
• Related to identified business needs or opportunities
• Defined to a level of detail sufficient for system design

One step in this phase addresses the domain analysis. It is the process of analyzing related software systems in a domain to find their common and variable parts. Several methods for domain analysis have been proposed. Each produces domain models such as feature tables, facet tables, facet templates, and generic architectures. A generic architecture describes all of the systems in a domain. provides an overview of proposed methodologies for domain analysis.

The products, or "artifacts," of a domain analysis are sometimes object-oriented models (represented with the Unified Modeling Language (UML)) and/or data models (represented with entity-relationship diagrams (ERD)). Developers use these models as a basis for the implementation of software architectures and applications.

Client Requirements/Trends

• Optimize business processes for maximum efficiency
• Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), SOAs to build applications out of software services
