Locate a company in your area that develops software. Consulting companies or companies with a large staff of information systems professionals tend to be more rigorous in their approach to systems development. Set up an interview. Determine the development approaches that the company uses. Many companies still use traditional ­structured techniques combined with some object-­oriented development. In other companies, some projects are structured, whereas other projects are object-oriented. Find out what kinds of modeling the company does for requirements specification. Compare your findings with the techniques taught in this chapter.
