What are the principles of Analysis Modeling?

Analysis models represent customer requirements. Design models provide a concrete specification for the construction of the software. In analysis models, software is depicted in three domains. These domains are information domain, functional domain and behavioral domain.
Analysis modeling focuses on three attributes of software: information to be processed, function to be delivered and behavior to be exhibited. There are set of principles which relate analysis methods :

- The data that flows in and out of the system and data stores collectively are called information domain. This information domain should be well understood and represented.
- The functions of the software effect the control over internal and external elements. These functions need to be well defined.
- The software is influenced with external environment. Software behaves in a certain manner. This behavior should be well defined.
- Partitioning is a key strategy in analysis modeling. Divide the models depicting information, function and behavior in a manner which uncovers detail in hierarchical way.
- Description of problem from end-user's perspective is the start point of analysis modeling. Task should move from essential information toward implementation detail.
