Description

Features

Clear, accessible step–by–step procedures – Presents explicit step–by–step procedures for both object–oriented analysis and object–oriented design based on industry–standard UML.

    ~Helps students understand the entire process of analysis and design, and how every step fits together. 
 
Extensive pedagogical features – Chapters include clear learning objectives, summaries, glossaries, review materials, exercises, discussion points, and more.

    ~Supports rapid learning with effective tools and practice resources.

Detailed case studies – Includes a running case study that illuminates the entire design process, along with two additional case studies designed for use in project activity assignments.

    ~Gives students hands–on experience with realistic object–oriented analysis and design projects. 
 
Layered, multi–tier design techniques – Teaches best–practice layered modeling with at least three tiers, as well as patterns–based design–by–contract program design.

    ~Teaches object–oriented analysis and design using today’s most powerful best practices. 
 
Clear pedagogical separation between analysis and design – Clarifies where analysis and design each begin and end, and how they relate.

    ~Helps students analyze and design systems more effectively, and avoid premature design decisions that limit their flexibility.

Thorough coverage of user interface design – Includes a full chapter on design principles, and another that details user interaction modeling, including state transition diagrams.

    ~Helps students understand how to design more effective and usable systems, while integrating user interfaces with program and database design. 
 
Practical coverage of feasibility analysis, information gathering, reporting, and software project management – Covers the business and organizational challenges that help determine whether an object–oriented design and analysis project is successful.

    ~Gives students a stronger understanding of the realities of design and analysis in contemporary business environments.
