In object-oriented analysis and modeling, it is extremely important to identify all potential objects.

This can be accomplished, as suggested by a number of experts, by going through the requirements documentation to find all the nouns, since each one can represent a possible object.

a. What is the problem with this method?

b. How does use-case modeling help identify potential objects?

c. Once potential (candidate) objects are identified, should each one become an actual object?

d. How should candidate objects be selected?

e. What if a candidate object turns out to actually be an attribute?
