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.
