Object-oriented task analysis

摘要

The object-oriented approach has recently received much attention in MIS development. However, as yet little research has been reported on task analysis in the object-oriented paradigm. This paper describes an object-oriented method for task analysis. Three fundamental types of objects (task, user, and interface) engaged in task analysis are described. The association between these objects is then built through identifying the messages between the objects. A practical application of this method shows that it is useful for the analysis and design of a human-computer interface.
