#Object oriented systems analysis verification#

OOSEM leverages object-oriented concepts such as encapsulation and specialization, but these concepts are applied at the system level somewhat differently than they are applied to software design. It has similarities with other methods such as the Harmony process and the Rational Unified Process for Systems Engineering (RUP SE), which also apply a top-down, scenario-driven approach that leverages SysML as the modeling language. OOSEM includes the fundamental systems engineering activities such as stakeholder needs analysis, requirements analysis, architecture design, trade studies and analysis, and verification.

OOSEM helps ensure the various views provide a consistent representation of the system, as described in Chapter 2, Section 2.1.2. The model artifacts present different views of the system such as behavior, structure, properties, and traceability to its requirements. In OOSEM and other model-based systems engineering approaches, the system model is a primary output of the system specification and design process. OOSEM is also intended to ease integration with object-oriented software development, hardware development, and test processes. The process leverages object-oriented concepts and other modeling techniques to help architect flexible and extensible systems that can accommodate evolving technology and changing requirements.
