The features, principles and techniques of object-oriented technology mitigate the complexities of modern software systems. Successful projects have learned that object-oriented programming is insufficient; that object-oriented analysis, architecture, and design are required for robust, scalable, maintainable web-based and conventional business systems, as well as embedded systems. This course teaches the processes, techniques, and artifacts necessary for modern object-oriented analysis. Students will learn the key analysis diagrams, symbols, and concepts of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) v2.0, the de facto international standard for modeling and specifying software systems. UML 2.0 added new diagrams and significantly enhanced older diagrams including class, activity, and state machine diagrams, the focus of analysis modeling. Students will learn through detailed lecture and hands-on labs the core competencies in object-oriented analysis through the use of UML 2.0 diagrams and semantics.
- Understand how to identify and classify the objects in business problems and model their business data, behavior, rules and constraints
- Master the following UML 2.0 diagrams using proven analysis and design methods:
- Use Case diagrams
- Activity diagrams
- Class diagrams
- Sequence diagrams
- State Machine diagrams
- Produce high quality analysis models using system operation contracts
- Define and practice the processes used in analysis
- Acquire hands-on experience in these methods and diagrams through case study exercises
- What are objects?
- Introduce the concept of objects and classes
- Explore roles, tasks, and concepts in using objects to build systems
- What is object-orientation?
- Explore pivotal concepts to create good object oriented systems: cohesion, coupling, abstraction, encapsulation, information hiding, reuse
