Object-Oriented Systems Analysis and Design

This book approaches system analysis and design with an object-oriented perspective, faithful to UML and others currently in use in many organizations. The SDC is central in the development of an information system; the book shows how each step of the SDC builds on itself. It provides readers with a strong systematic framework, linking one chapter to the next; this approach enables readers to easily learn object-oriented system analysis and design. All terminology and diagrams are UML compliant. A running case (The Pine Valley Furniture Webstore) is used throughout the book as an example. Readers can develop, propose, implement, and maintain a Webstore, learning through doing. The end-of-chapter case, Broadway Entertainment Company Inc., shows readers how a fictional video and record retailer develops an object-oriented application. Coverage includes: foundations for object-oriented systems development; project planning and management; systems analysis; systems design; and systems implementation and operation. An excellent “how-to” guide for systems analysts and designers.
