Abstract
Object design is primarily adding details to the requirements analysis and making implementation decisions. Object design serves as the basis for implementation in an object-oriented paradigm. During object design, developers define solution domain objects to bridge the gap between the analysis model and the hardware/software platform defined during system design. This includes precisely describing object and subsystem interfaces, selecting off-the-shelf components, restructuring the object model to attain design goals such as extensibility and understandability, and optimizing the object model for performance. An object model describes how a component or system works, down to programming language classes or some other level that can be coded.
