Analysis is the study of a problem, prior to taking some action. In the specific domain of computer systems development, analysis refers to the study of some business area or application, usually leading to the specification of a new system.
James Rumbaugh et al. (OMT, 1991):
The purpose of object-oriented analysis is to model the real-world system so that it can be understood. The successful analysis model states what must be done, without restricting how it is done, and avoids implementation decisions.
