Study Notes

Object Oriented Methodologies

  • Software System Life Cycle - Traditional cycle models
  • Object Oriented approach - Rambaugh et al., Object Modeling Technique - Booch
  • Methodology - Jacobson et al. methodology - Rational Unified Process (RUP) - Unified Modeling Language (UML) - UML Models

Introduction

  • Software development methodology is a series of processes like system analysis, modeling, design, implementation. testing, and maintenance.
  • Traditional Techniques focus on data and functions.
  • Object-Oriented Methodologies focus on objects combining data and functionality.
  • Object oriented systems are easier to adapt, maintain, and promote code reuse.
  • OOAD is the process of investigating the problem, requirements, and finding a solution—classified as requirement analysis and object-oriented analysis.
  • Object-oriented analysis finds and describes the objects/concepts in the problem domain.
  • Examples of objects include Plane, Flight, and Pilot in a flight information system; TailNumber is an attribute of a plane object.
  • Object-oriented design finds a conceptual solution fulfilling requirements before implementation.
  • Includes activities like database design and object-oriented design.
  • In object oriented design, software objects are defined and collaborated based on requirements.
  • Examples include a Plane object in a flight information system with attributes like TailNumber.

Software System Life Cycle

  • Software development transforms user needs to software solutions satisfying specific needs.
  • Development is a process of change, refinement, transformation, or addition to existing products.
  • It's possible to replace a sub-process with a new one if the new process has the same interface as the old one.
  • Processes can be divided into smaller, interacting phases called sub-processes.
  • Each sub-process has a description, input, and output.
  • Transformations, like Analysis translates user needs to requirements and responsibilities, and Design defines the system's structure, software development, and testing.
  • Implementation translates detailed design into the system's operational environment to satisfy user needs.

Traditional Cycle Models - Waterfall Model

  • A straightforward sequence of stages (requirements, design, implementation, verification, maintenance).
  • One stage must be completed before the next begins.
  • Not truly reflective of actual system development, as it doesn't emphasize iteration.
  • Easy to understand and use but inflexible and high risk for complex projects.
  • Testing is often a one-time final inspection at the end of the project.

V-Model

  • A variation of the waterfall, visualizing stages in a V-shape.
  • Emphadises the relationship of later stages (testing) with earlier stages (requirements and analysis).
  • Testing is planned and designed early in the development process.
  • Detailed design is linked to corresponding verification and validation.
  • Flexible and well-suited to projects with a well-defined scope.

Spiral Model

  • An evolutionary version of incremental prototyping.
  • Uses iterative steps and risk evaluation.
  • It's suitable for large projects involving high risk or changing requirements.
  • The risk analysis during each iteration helps guide process decision making and control.

Agile Model

  • A framework for software development emphasizing iterations and responsiveness to change.
  • It minimizes risk by developing software in short bursts (iterations).
  • This helps deliver working software early in the project and adapt to changing requirements.
  • It involves close collaboration between the development team and customers.

Prototyping

  • An implementation technique that takes place in the early development stages.
  • A working model is produced and successively refined until it is acceptable to the client.

OMT (Object Modeling Technique)

  • A method for analysis, design, and implementation of a system using an object-oriented technique.
  • Helps describe the static (object model), dynamic (dynamic model), and functional (functional model) aspects of a system.

Booch Methodology

  • An object-oriented approach for system design.
  • It uses different diagrams to model aspects of the system like Class diagram, Interaction diagrams etc.

Jacobson Methodology

  • Object Oriented methodologies encompassing Object Oriented Business Engineering (OOBE), Object Oriented Software Engineering (OOSE).
  • Use cases are at the center – representing user scenarios and tasks.
  • Traceability between different phases (analysis to design) makes this method useful for reuse.
  • Useful for complex, real-time projects.

RUP (Rational Unified Process)

  • A standardized, object-oriented, software development process.
  • RUP organizes projects in four phases: Inception, Elaboration, Construction, and Transition.
  • Each phase consists of iterations focused on delivering a working product incrementally.

UML (Unified Modeling Language)

  • A general-purpose, visual modeling language.
  • It uses different diagrams to model different views of the software (structural, behavioral, and architectural) enabling developers to visualize the system.
  • Provides a standard language for communication and documentation between developers and other stakeholders in a software project through its diagramming techniques.
