There are two major classification of system analysis: structured analysisand objected-oriented analysis. Each methodology has its advantages and disadvantages. Integrated methodology model was suggested in some studies, however, there are few empirical studies about comparison with the two methodologies. Therefore, our study use Laboratory Experiment to make comparison of two system analysis methodology. The two major purposes of this study are : (1) which is better on learning performance ? (2) which is better on system requirement representation effectiveness? Result of this experiment indicate that structured analysis is easier to achieve syntactical consistent on the learning performance, and there''s no difference between two methodology. On the requirement representation performance, structured analysis is better than object-oriented analysis, especially on the semantic completeness of modeling. This research result could provide principles of course designing of system analysis and system design. For novice, structured analysis is easy to learn completely. In addition, it could provide suggestion for analyst in practice when selecting system analysis tool. For tool selection , the structured analysis is still better maturely and completely, and is easier to present semantic completely.
