Study Notes

Introduction to Object Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD)

OOAD is a software development approach that emphasizes a logical solution based on objects.

Object-Oriented Application

A collection of discrete objects that interact with each other.
Objects have properties and behaviors that cause state transitions.
Interactions occur through message passing, where a sender object sends a request (message) to a receiver object to invoke a method of the receiver object.

Object Structure

An object consists of:
- Data
- Functions (methods)
- Messages (requests) sent to other objects

OOAD Process

Analysis: understanding, finding, and describing concepts in the problem domain.
Design: understanding and defining software solutions/objects that represent the analysis concepts, which will eventually be implemented in code.
OOAD involves both a notation and a process.
