Discuss the emergence of domain analysis

What will be an ideal response?

The idea of domain analysis was introduced in the 1980s in response to "software crisis." But it has not been long since it has shown signs of becoming popular and mainstream. The perception of "crisis," of course, has not changed. What has changed is that first, business is learning, very slowly and in its own good time, that reinventing the wheel every time is very expensive and wasteful, and second, the building blocks of an enterprise-oriented approach to software development are falling into place, in terms of both technology (powerful computers, storage, networks, etc.) and methodology (object-oriented tools, languages, and modeling).
Still, you can read many chapters and papers on domain analysis and not recognize that the authors are talking about the same concept (like many other subjects in system analysis and design). Evidently, a lot more needs to be done and, fortunately, is being done
