Object-Oriented System Development

There is more to "object-oriented" than application programming. Object-oriented methods have revolutionized the way analysts, designers, software engineers, project managers, and tool builders construct entire software systems. Object-Oriented System Development will help you to better understand the role of analysis and design in the object-oriented development process. Rather than subscribing to a particular object-oriented method, this book gives step-by-step instructions on how to put key object-oriented concepts to work in software construction. Many examples, including a full banking system, are developed throughout the book to illustrate the process of object-oriented software development from analysis, through design, and into implementation. With this book, you will learn how to: \*use core object-oriented notions such as inheritance and encapsulation in analysis and design; \*construct system models; \*map designs to distributed-processing frameworks; \*use prototypes more productively; \*address system resource and performance issues; \*use common tools and services; and \*reuse declarative models, design architectures, and code. Although geared to software professionals involved in the development of medium, large, and distributed systems, Object-Oriented System Development is equally valuable to anyone who wants to gain a detailed technical perspective on the object-oriented software development process. "This book (Object-Oriented System Development) is for many different software professionals: analysts, designers, implementors, software engineers, project managers, students and teachers, and others." - Computing Reviews 020156355XB04062001

Rather than subscribing to a particular object-oriented method, the authors give instructions on how to put key object-oriented concepts to work in software construction. Many examples, including a full banking system, are developed throughout the book to illustrate the process of object-oriented software development from analysis, through design, and into implementation. Written for professionals involved in the development of medium, large, and distributed systems. Each chapter concludes with exercises. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

"In this text, Dennis de Champeaux clearly presents the practical basics of each phase of the software development life-cycle using an object-oriented analysis and design process. A detailed home heating system is effectively used as an example throughout the text to instruct project managers, software developers, and researchers how to transform from an analysis via design into an implementation." "The author uses state-of-the-art techniques to identify detailed software development micro processes to help manage projects and schedules. In addition, discussions are included on following micro processes, how effort prediction can be done, and how effort metrics can be applied to systematically collect historical data."--Jacket With this book, software engineers, project managers, and tool builders will be able to better understand the role of analysis and design in the object-oriented (OO) software development process. This book presents a minimum set of notions and shows the reader how to use these notions for OO software construction. The emphasis is on development principles and implementation. In this text, students are shown how to use an object-oriented development process and metrics for object-oriented analysis, design, and implementation, and how to use the latest techniques to monitor progress and estimate effort.
