Study Notes

Module 1: Introduction to OOAD

  • OOAD stands for Object-Oriented Analysis and Design.

Why Object-Oriented?

  • "Software crises" stemmed from communication difficulties and complexity management (Budd).
  • The Whorfian Hypothesis suggests human language shapes our understanding of the world.
  • Language habits influence how we perceive reality.

Consider Human Growth & Concept Formation

  • Communication and complexity are expressed in terms of concepts.
  • Concept formation progresses from confusion to order.
  • Human perception develops through increasing meaning and precision, subtleties, and complexity over time based on experience.

What is Object-Orientation? - What is Object?

  • An "object" is anything to which a concept applies.
  • Objects represent entities from the problem or solution domain.
  • Objects are structures with identity, properties, and behaviors.
  • Objects are instances of classes.

Abstraction and Encapsulation

  • Abstraction focuses on essential details, omitting unnecessary specifics.
  • Encapsulation, or information hiding, keeps data private and accessible through methods.

What is Object-Orientation? - Another Example of Abstraction and Encapsulation

  • Example of a "Car" class with attributes like Model, Location, and number of Wheels.
  • Example of operations like Start and Accelerate.

What is Object-Orientation? - Class

  • A class is a collection of objects sharing common properties, attributes, behavior, and semantics.
  • Classes group similar objects in a software system with the same data structure and behavior.
  • An instance is a concrete example of a class.

What is Object-Orientation? - Subclass vs. Superclass

  • Specialization defines a class as a refinement of another.
  • A subclass inherits from a superclass (more general class).
  • Inheritance automatically duplicates superclass attributes and behaviors.

What is Object-Orientation? - Interfaces

  • Information hiding keeps data private.
  • Public methods access and set data values.
  • Interfaces like setGrade and getGrade control access to class data.

What is Object-Orientation? - State

  • State is a collection of associations an object has with other objects or object types.
  • A state change is a transition of an object from one state to another.
  • An event is a significant change in state.

What is Object-Orientation? - Polymorphism

  • Superclasses define expected behaviors (public interface).
  • Subclasses provide implementations of these behaviors.

What is OOAD?

  • Analysis involves understanding concepts in the problem domain.
  • Design involves defining software solutions with objects representing analysis concepts.
  • OOAD is an approach that emphasizes objects for developing logical solutions in software.

How to Do OOAD - Where to Use OO?

  • Introduce object-oriented principles throughout the software lifecycle.

Error Propagation in Lifecycle

  • Errors in requirements, design, implementation, and testing can compound throughout the software lifecycle.
  • Imperfect specifications lead to problems that are hard and expensive to fix later.

How to Do OOAD - OMT as Object-Oriented Methodology

  • OMT is an object-oriented methodology.
  • Object Model describes static system structure.
  • Dynamic Model describes object interactions with diagrams.
  • Functional models describe data transformations.

Case Study: Tesla Cars

  • Classes are templates for objects (e.g., Tesla vehicles).
  • Objects are instances of classes representing real-world entities.
  • Inheritance allows objects to inherit attributes and methods from parent classes.
  • Polymorphism allows different classes to act in similar ways based on the same interfaces.
  • Encapsulation hides internal data and exposes functionality through methods.

A Unified Language + A Good Process

  • Unified Modeling Language (UML) helps describe software in a standard format.
  • A structured process helps implement the described software.
