Developing Software with UML: Object-Oriented Analysis and Design in Practice (2nd Edition)

Leverage the full power of objects and UML in any software development process!-- Object-oriented analysis and design: a practical, example-driven introduction.-- Thoroughly updated: New coverage of UML 1.4, updated Java code examples, and new techniques for solving problems that can't be solved by UML alone!-- Techniques for creating more effective use case, class, behavioral, and implementation diagrams.This example-rich book will show any developer or analyst how to leverage the full power of object technology and UML in software development. Fully updated throughout, this edition reflects the new UML 1.4 standard and presents important new techniques for solving problems that can't be solved by UML alone. Experienced object developer and mentor Bernd Oestereich begins with an entirely new two-chapter introduction to object-oriented analysis and design. Coverage includes a full chapter on use case diagrams; detailed introductions to the basic and relational elements of class diagrams; as well as extensive introductions both behavioral and implementation diagrams. Along the way, Oestereich shows how to extend the power of UML with advanced techniques such as stereotypes and CASE tool use case templates. This is also the first object-oriented analysis and design book with in-depth coverage of the Object Constraint Language (OCL), a powerful, UML-based modeling tool for specifying a wide array of object constraints, conditions, and guards.

This book is a very well structured and clearly thought through. It is concise yet comprehensive. I will definitely recommend it
—Nicolai Josuttis, Senior Consultant, Solutions in Time

Congratulations on a great book. I have found it not only technically interesting but also amusing and easy to read. I have rarely spent my money as profitably as on this book.

Are you a software developer or project manager looking to exploit the power of object technology in your development process for the first time? Do you need a practical, example-driven introduction to object-oriented analysis and design? If so, look no further.

This book explains the benefits of using the object-oriented approach for software development as well as providing a state-of-the-art account of the technology available. Employing numerous real-life examples to illustrate its application, the use of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) in object-oriented analysis and design is explained systematically by an experienced practitioner.

The first part of the book takes the reader step-by-step through the development process using one continuous example to show how each principle and concept is applied in practice. The second part explains the basics of UML in detail, with individual examples.
Numerous cross-references between the two parts mean that readers can follow the software development example, learning the appropriate features of UML as they become relevant. For more advanced readers, the book may be treated as a tutorial on the
application of UML.

This book:

• Is fully compliant with UML 1.3
  
• Contains numerous examples all coded in Java
  
• Covers the Object Constraint Language (OCL) and modeling business processes, as well as incorporating a chapter on project management.
  
• Winner of the German Best OO and Java Product in 1997 SIGS award in the category of books and other media, and best book at the OOP '99 conference in Munich.

Outlines the structure of object-orientation, the process of modeling a software program, and the diagrams and model elements that comprise the unified modeling language (UML). The second edition adds two chapters on analysis and design. Originally published in 2001 as Objektorientierte Softwareentwicklung mit der UML by Oldenbourg. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

The ideal introduction to object-oriented analysis and design for developers with little experience of developing OO software. For more advanced readers, the book may be treated as a tutorial on the application of UML which includes a reference in case there are any concepts with which he/she is not familiar. Softcover.
