Object-Oriented Systems Analysis & Design using UML

Introduction

• Overview of OO development
• Evolution of OO and OO methods
• Introduction to the Unified Modelling Language

Object Technology Principles

• Abstraction
• Encapsulation
• Inheritance and polymorphism
• Classes
• Objects
• Attributes
• Associations
• Operations

Starting Analysis

• Importance of a clearly defined system scope
• Building a Use Case model
• Actors
• Activity diagrams

Specifying Detailed Requirements

• Exploring Use Cases
• Scenarios and sequence diagrams
• Message passing

The Class Diagram

• Modelling classes
• Operations and attributes
• Association and aggregation
• Multiplicity and roles
• Generalisation and specialisation
• Inheritance

Examining Object Behaviour

• Collecting object behaviour from sequence diagrams
• Behaviour of objects over time
• States
• Events and transitions
• Object actions
• Advanced state diagramming techniques

Analysis Deliverables

• Analysis completeness and consistency
• Transitioning to design
• Design overview

The Unified Process

• The four phases
• Inception
• Elaboration
• Construction
• Transition
• The iterative and incremental lifecycle

Detailed Design

• Revisiting the model with a software perspective
• Producing a software view
• Investigating object collaboration
• Adding design detail: sequencing, iterations, collections.

Class and Association Design

• Determining well-formed classes
• Coupling and cohesion
• Specifying association navigation
• Specifying association implementation
• Looking at aggregation: by-value and by-reference

Interface Design

• Defining interfaces
• Inheritance of interface and inheritance of implementation
