Features: The world's best-selling book introducing object-oriented analysis/design, iterative development, and UML. This book aims to help developers or students master the core principles and best practices of object-oriented analysis and design (OOA/D) and apply them truly to software design, not just drawing UML. As a pioneer in object-oriented technology and iterative methods with a strong reputation, Craig Larman proposed a single, consistent case study with three iterative approaches, introducing the key skills of OOA/D, while also emphasizing the basic development activities, principles, and patterns. The content covered in this book includes: · Requirements and Use Cases: Identifying and documenting requirements · Domain Object Modeling: Understanding the domain's "interesting objects," their characteristics, and relationships · Architecture: Creating layered architecture to maximize the flexibility, robustness, and maintainability of the application · Basic Object Design: Creating robust objects and frameworks using popular high-use patterns such as strategy, factory, adapter, observer, template method, and command · Iterative Development and "Agile Methods": Organizing modeling and development using simple, fundamental Unified Process (popular iterative process) activities and best practices. This book is a fully revised version based on the edition, with new case studies added and discussions on patterns, use cases, the Unified Process, architectural analysis, etc., updated. It provides a clear and practically valuable introduction to object-oriented analysis and design methods.
