Features: The world's best-selling book introducing Object-Oriented Analysis/Design (OOA/D), iterative development, and UML. This book aims to help developers or students master the core principles and best practices of OOA/D and apply them truly to software design, not just drawing UML diagrams. As a pioneer in object technology and iterative methods with a strong reputation, Craig Larman proposes a unified, consistent case study with three iterative approaches, introducing key skills in OOA/D while emphasizing the basic development activities, principles, and patterns. The content covered includes:
· Requirements and Use Cases: Identifying and documenting requirements
· Domain Object Modeling: Understanding the "interesting objects" in the domain, their characteristics, and relationships
· Architecture: Creating layered architectures 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 with simple, fundamental Unified Process (popular iterative process) activities and best practices
This book is a fully revised edition based on the previous version, with new case studies added and discussions on patterns, use cases, the Unified Process, architectural analysis, and more updated. It provides a clear and practically valuable introduction to object-oriented analysis and design methodologies.
