Study Notes
Object-Oriented Analysis
- A state adjective is a term used to describe an adjective that describes an object's current status.
- A method refers to the tasks or functions that an object performs when it receives a message or command.
Inheritance
- Inheritance is a concept that enables an object to derive one or more of its attributes from another object.
Object-Oriented Principles
- Encapsulation is the idea that all data and methods of an object are self-contained.
- A message is a term that refers to a command that tells an object to perform a certain method.
Object-Oriented Analysis
- In object-oriented analysis, an object represents a real-world entity in an information system.
- The main focus of object-oriented analysis is to identify objects and their interactions.
- O-O stands for Object-Oriented.
System Analysis
- Phase 2 of system analysis covers the development of a logical model of the system.
Examples of Objects
- According to Dr. Ahmed Hosny, an example of an object in an information system is a customer.
Data and Process Modeling
- The three main items involved in data and process modeling are entities, attributes, and processes.
- The deliverable of data and process modeling is a logical model.
- A logical model shows the relationships between entities, according to Dr. Ahmed Hosny.
System Planning
- The focus of the system planning phase is to define the overall system architecture.
Four-Model Approach
- The major benefit of the four-model approach in system design is that it provides a more comprehensive understanding of the system.
- The only disadvantage of the four-model approach in system design is that it can be time-consuming and complex.
Data Flow Diagrams (DFD)
- A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) primarily shows the flow of data in an information system.
- The symbol that represents a process in a Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a rectangle.
- The process symbol in a Data Flow Diagram (DFD) contains a description of the process, along with inputs, processing, and outputs.
