Object orientation and object-oriented analysis

Introduction to object orientation

  • Complexity of software and structure of complex systems
  • Object-oriented approach and object-oriented lifecycle
  • Development, elements and application of the object model
  • Objects and relations between them, classes and relations between them
  • Explanations, inheritance, aggregation, association, reuse, multiple inheritance
  • Collaboration of objects and classes, methods and attributes
  • Classification and abstraction, detecting classes and objects
  • Polymorphism, genericness, subsystems, interfaces

Methods and notations

  • Unified Modelling Language (UML) as a standard for OO notation
  • Object-oriented analysis and object-oriented design, Peter Coad, Edward Yourdon
  • Overview of other methods, for example
  • Object-oriented modeling and designing, Rumbaugh and others
  • Object-oriented software engineering, Jacobson and others
  • Object-oriented analysis and design, Grady Booch

Object-oriented analysis

  • Objectives and approach
  • Static, dynamic and functional model of the system
  • Class, state, sequence and package diagrams
  • Meaningful use of use cases for requirements analysis
  • Classes, responsibilities and cooperation, technical concepts with CRC cards
  • Grammar analysis
  • Explorative prototyping
  • Process model: application case driven, iterative incremental and architecture-oriented


Object-oriented design

Object-oriented design

  • Differences and boundary to the object-oriented analysis
  • Results of the design phase
