1 Object-Oriented Software Development What is Object-Oriented Development Object-Oriented vs. Traditional Development An Object-Oriented Development Framework Phases, Activities, and Work Products Phases, Activities, and Work Products A development phase is a state of product development that focuses on making progress on a particular aspect or facet. A work product is a concrete result of a planned project-related activity such as analysis or project management. Work products include items delivered to the customer and items used purely internally within a project. [OOTC 97] OOSD--fall'04 Copyright by [email protected] 51 OOSD--fall'04 Copyright by [email protected] 52 Project Management Requirements Gathering Project Management After initial project planning, define development activities and allocate resources to the activities. Allocate requirements to releases and manage project schedule and issues. Project Workbook Outline Resource Plan Schedule Risk/Option Management Plan Test Plan Issues Metrics An organized list of work products that are expected to comprise the project workbook. Analysis of the resources required for the successful completion of the project. A task time line showing dates, milestones, critical path, etc. Lists development options and describes the plan for minimizing project risks. Outlines the project s plan for testing the application. A list of outstanding issues, questions, and concerns that are reviewed on a regular basis. The planned and actual measurements, and statistics. Requirements Gathering Group functional requirements (into use cases) and prioritize them. Problem Statement Use Cases (functional requirements) Nonfunctional Requirements Prioritized Requirements Description of the problem to be solved in non-technical terms. An OO formalization of functional requirements describing the usage of the system by external agents. Requirements that do not belong to user function, such as performance, platform, quality. Defines the relative priorities of functional and nonfunctional system requirements. OOSD--fall'04 Copyright by [email protected] 53 OOSD--fall'04 Copyright by [email protected] 54

2 UI Design OOA&D UI Design Document how users will interact with the application. Guidelines Screen Flows Screen Layouts UI Prototype Describes the user interface guidelines and standards. Documents user navigation through the application s user interface. Documents details of all screens. A prototype built to show users the look and feel. Object- Oriented Analysis & Design Guidelines System Architecture Analysis: Identify objects, their attributes, behaviors, and interrelationships. Develop solutions to system usage scenarios in terms of active objects that group related tasks and communicate with other objects in order to complete them. Design: Plan a solution to the problem examined during analysis in terms of interacting objects, within the constraints specified by the nonfunctional requirements. Object Model Scenarios OIDs (Object Interaction Diagrams) State Models Classes File Structure Traceability Matrix Records the details of the analysis and design approach being followed. Description of the high-level components/ structures of the system and the design principles guiding the implementation. A consolidated model describing the classes of a system together with their responsibilities and static interrelationships. Descriptions of required systems behaviour. Scenarios refine use cases and are formalized in OIDs. A working out of a scenario, showing the interactions between objects to accomplish (the implementation of) a task. Show the life cycle of an object, i.e. its possible states and state transitions. Detailed descriptions of all classes. The files and their structure as required by the system. A cross-reference table that relates design elements to requirements. OOSD--fall'04 Copyright by [email protected] 55 OOSD--fall'04 Copyright by [email protected] 56 Implementation & Testing Miscellaneous Work Products Implementation Testing Systematically code the classes as specified in the class descriptions so that they can be built and installed on the target platforms. Insure that the application meets the requirements set forth in the problem statement and requirements gathering work products. Coding Guidelines Source Code User Support Materials Prototypes Test Cases A description of the coding guidelines and standards. The actual implementation of the product. Documentation, delivered in various forms, which support the customer s use of the product. Intermediate products. The testing and quality assurance work products. Miscellaneous Document miscellaneous Glossary Definitions and terminology. activities in appendices and add them to the Historical Back-level work products. project workbook. Work Products Meeting Minutes Time Logs The minutes of all project meetings. The time logs of the people allocated to the project.
