Designing Flexible Object-Oriented System with UML

Object-oriented development is the process of turning an idea or a problem specification into an object-oriented program. The resulting program is a large collection of objects that communicate with one another. Designing Flexible Object-Oriented Systems with UML takes you through the process of designing and developing a program that will meet your needs and be adaptable to new requirements in the future. This book covers: Performing object-oriented analysis to define the functional requirements of a system and describe its classes Transforming an analysis model into a feasible object-oriented design Using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to document all aspects of the analysis and design of a product Constructing more flexible designs with the help of guidelines provided in the text Providing both an understanding of object-oriented design and a progressive tutorial on UL, Designing Flexible Object-Oriented Systems with UML includes flexibility guidelines as well as detailed instructions on: Class diagramming notation and developing class diagrams Dynamic diagramming notation and developing dynamic diagrams Reuse of class libraries, frameworks, components and patterns The design of an overall system architecture.
