DOORS a tool for BAs

[bullseye]

Does a BA need to know all the malarchy about OO concepts? If yes, does it not mean that BA would be stepping into software engineer's area of work?

That's a very good point, however the boundaries are constantly moving and for some reason a 'seamless' process is arguable, as you can be a C++ developer with no BA knowledge and go on to develop first-class code from a set of good requirements. Know nothing about DOORS but am familiar with UML and RUP but even those have limitations as they are more suited for OO languages.
I know there is more emphasis on users and 'the business' but not to the detriment of good coding and practices.
