Object-Oriented Systems Analysis and Design (2nd Edition)

For undergraduate and graduate courses in Systems Analysis & Design where an object-oriented approach is taken.

This text focuses on a business rather than a technology perspective. As such, it emphasizes the mind-set of the systems analyst and project manager as opposed to that of the programmer. While this text focuses on object-oriented systems analysis and design and adheres to UML 2 standards, it also contains elements from other approaches, such as relational database system design, that remain a part of systems development in business organizations today.

This is quite informative text on OOSAD. I did not read it from cover to cover, but as much as I have, it seemed dry at times, and I think it should employ more diagrams and more colors ;)
The only three colors you can find in this text are black, white, and blue. That's it. If you're a visual person (like me), you would want some colorful diagrams and screen shots - sort of like used in System analysis and design by Shelly, Cashman, and Rosenblattt.
Anyways. Brief content as follows:

Part 1: Foundations of object-oriented systems development.
-ch 1. The OO system development environment
-ch 2. Introduction to object orientation
Part 2: Project management and planning
-ch 3. Managing the OO information system project
-ch 4. Selecting and planning projects
Part 3: System Analysis
-ch 5. Determining OO system requirements.
-ch 6. Structuring system requirements: use-case description and diagrams
-ch 7. Conceptual data... read more

I don't know how to comment this book because I feel boring when I read this book. There are many repeat information in different chapters. However, you have some practice exercises after each chapter.
