The recent devel- opment methods have increased the flexibility of software. However, previous studies have ignored the stability of busi- ness object and the particular business relationships to support the software development. In this paper, a coarse-grained business object based software development, BOSD, is presented to resolve this problem. By analyzing the characteristics of variable requirement, business objects are abstracted as the separately-developed unit from busi- ness process, and are assembled to system through their relationships. The methodology of BOSD is combined with MDA (Model Driven Architecture) and implemented on the semiautomatic platform. Keywords: Business Requirement Change, Business Object, Relationship, Business Process, Information Systems, Flexibility, MDA 1. Introduction CBSD adapts to the changes of environment by reusing the existing components [6]. The MDD is an approach that generally separates the functionality from the im- plementation from the perspective of separation concern. The Computation-Independent Model (CIM), which is composed of business-centric models, is transformed to Platform-Independent Model (PIM)
