The object-oriented approach is promising in the rapid development of application software for either sequential or distributed parallel systems. Although automation in object-oriented code generation has been realized by various CASE tools, automation in object-oriented analysis is still immature. In this paper, a framework for building an integrated tool set for providing partial automation in object-oriented analysis is presented for significantly reducing the development effort. The analyses starts from the initial problem statements with user's close participation and the support of CASE tools. Then, the corresponding results are further verified and updated by examining the graphical representations generated from the textual specifications. These analysis diagrams can be passed to the object-oriented design phase for further refinement
