Object-Oriented Analysis and Design: Understanding System Development with UML 2.0 / Edition 1

by Mike O'Docherty

Overview

Covering the breadth of this core topic, Object-Oriented Analysis and Design provides a thorough grounding in object-oriented concepts, the software development process, UML and multi-tier technologies. Beginning with the basic ground work underpinning object-oriented software projects, it follows the steps of a typical development project (Requirements Capture, Design, Specification & Testing), showing how an abstract problem is taken through to a concrete solution. The authors take a programming language agnostic approach - so code is kept to a minimum to avoid detail and deviation into implementation minutiae.

A single case study running through the text provides a realistic example of software development, from an initial proposal through to a finished system. Key artefacts such as the requirements document and detailed designs are included, plus exercises in each aspect of the case study,  to enable readers to  produce similar documents for a different system.
