Abstract
From an analysis and design perspective, developers of COTS-based systems face many challenges driven by built-in product paradigms as well as the volatility of the marketplace. One way to deal with these challenges is to adopt a spiral development process that allows for concurrent discovery and negotiation of user needs and business processes, applicable technology and components, the target architecture, and organizational constraints. This paper outlines a workflow for Analysis and Design that can be used within spiral-based development processes for building systems from commercial components.
