Abstract
Form-Oriented Analysis is an approach tailored to the modeling of systems with form-based, submit/response style interfaces, a distinct and ubiquitous class of software systems. Form-Oriented Analysis models the system interface with a bipartite finite state machine and relates it to a layered data model. The paper explains the main visual artifact of our technique, the form chart, and introduces dialogue constraint writing. Model decomposition is explained. The analysis technique is firmly based on existing well-understood analysis notions and techniques, and consequently extends these methods.
