Study Notes

Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Using UML

  • UML diagrams are used to represent software systems
  • Different UML diagrams exist for various purposes
  • Their uses and functions need to be understood
  • Symbols and conventions in each diagram must be identified

Object-Oriented Development Life Cycle (OODLC)

  • Structured approach to software development
  • Emphasizes object-oriented principles
  • Improves software system quality
  • Focuses on object design and implementation

Requirements Gathering and Analysis phase

  • Understand stakeholder needs
  • Define system requirements
  • Conduct interviews, surveys, and workshops
  • Document both functional and non-functional requirements for systems
  • Identify the use cases

System Design phase

  • Create a blueprint for the system
  • Define system architecture
  • Define components and their interactions
  • Identify classes, objects, and their relationships
  • Create design models using UML diagrams (e.g., class diagrams, sequence diagrams, use case diagrams)

Implementation (Coding) phase

  • Translate design specifications into executable code
  • Write code for classes and methods
  • Implement data structures and algorithms

Testing phase

  • Validate if the system meets specified requirements
  • Ensure the system is free of defects
  • Conduct integration testing for components interaction
  • Conduct system tests for functionality and performance
  • Conduct user acceptance testing (UAT)

Deployment phase

  • Release the system to users
  • Prepare deployment plans and user training
  • Deploy into the production environment
  • Monitor the system for issues after deployment and provide support

Maintenance and Evolution phase

  • Address issues identified by users
  • Implement enhancements
  • Adapt the system to changing requirements
  • Conduct regular reviews and updates

Object-Oriented Concepts

  • Core concepts promote reusability, scalability, and maintainability
  • Classes serve as blueprints for creating objects
  • Objects are instances of classes that encapsulate data and functionality
  • Encapsulation protects internal states, promoting modularity and updates
  • Inheritance enables code reuse and hierarchical relationships
  • Polymorphism allows methods to be defined for different classes
  • Abstraction hides complex implementations, simplifying interfaces
  • Message passing facilitates object communication

Unified Modeling Language (UML)

  • Standardized modeling language used in software engineering.
  • Provides a common framework and consistent means of documenting and visualising systems
  • Used for specifying, visualizing, developing, and documenting artifacts of software systems.
  • UML diagrams are used for a variety of purposes, ranging from high-level system architecture to detailed design specifications.

Use Case Modeling

  • Identifies and clarifies functional requirements
  • Focuses on interactions between users and the system
  • Includes actors, use cases, and relationships
  • Use case scenarios provide detailed narratives of user interactions
  • Include preconditions, postconditions, main success scenarios, alternate paths (extensions)

Activity Diagrams

  • Show the flow of control or data within a system
  • Visualize the sequence of activities
  • Explicitly illustrate the flow of processes and decision points
  • Include activities, transitions, start nodes, end nodes, decision nodes, forks, joins, and swimlanes

Sequence Diagrams

  • Illustrates object interactions in a particular scenario
  • Shows sequence of messages exchanged between objects over time.
  • Include lifelines, activation boxes, messages, and return messages
  • Used for modeling the order of events and communications within a system.

Collaboration Diagrams

  • Represent the structural organization of objects, focusing on their communication.
  • Emphasizes how objects interact to achieve a specific goal.
  • Illustrate object connections and communication paths
  • Show interactions are between objects and the order of communication

Class Diagrams

  • Represents the static structure of a system
  • Illustrates classes, attributes, methods, and relationships between classes.
  • Essential for object-oriented design
  • Blueprint for system implementation
  • Includes classes, attributes, methods, and relationships

Generalization/Specialization Diagrams

  • Generalization: Creates a generalized superclass from two or more classes sharing common characteristic
  • Specialization: Creates specialized subclasses from an existing class based on distinguishing characteristics.
  • UML diagrams are used to represent these relationships visually
  • These diagrams are used for documentation and code generation within object-oriented projects.

Statechart Diagrams

  • Represent states of an object (e.g., Pending, Shipped, Delivered)
  • Includes states, transitions, events, and actions
  • Focus on how objects change states in response to events
  • Used to model the dynamic behavior of real-time systems.
