Quick Navigation

Overview

This text has been written for a one-semester (13 week) Object Oriented Analysis (OOA) course, aimed at second year undergraduate level software engineering courses.

It is assumed that students will have an introductory understanding of what comprises analysis and design.

This book deals with the analysis and modelling of software systems with the Unified Modelling Language (UML 2.0) in the ‘problem space’ of software development spectrum and presents the topics of analysis and documentation based on the Object Management Groups (OMG) UML 2.0 version.

It uses cases, case diagrams, activity diagrams, business-level class diagrams, corresponding interaction diagrams and state machine diagrams.

Features

{{collapseContainerClosed['features'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • Provides the fundamentals of object-orientation through clear and concise language, practical examples, diagrams, a progressive case study and online support material.
  • This is a teaching-learning book. The book is delivered in 10 chapters, each reflecting a topic of discussion covering a 90 minute industrial training session or two-hour lecture.
  • The chapters are arranged so each chapter can be taught individually and in any sequence.
  • Project work in the comments column corresponds to the tasks expected to be completed during the tutorials, making it easy for students to follow.
  • End-of-chapter workbook exercises solidify the concepts taught throughout the course, such as practical discussions and workshops.
  • Helps students to: understand how object orientation can be applied in practice through a worked case study of a Hospital Management System.
  • Interpret UML 2 diagrams and segregate them based on their relevance in creating Models of Problem Space (MOPS), Models of Solution Space (MOSS) and Models of Background Space (MOBS).
  • Select and study in detail a subset of UML 2 diagrams that can be used for analysis in creating MOPS, and understanding their strengths and weaknesses.
  • Locate practical references (books and websites) and CASE tools for UML.
