Object Oriented Analysis and Design

Description

Object Oriented Analysis (OOA) is the first technical activity performed as part of object oriented software engineering. Object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) is a technical approach for analyzing and designing an application, system, or business by applying object-oriented programming, as well as using visual modeling throughout the software development process to guide stakeholder communication and product quality. OOD allows large-scale applications to be developed in independent modules. Object-oriented decomposition provides a method to decompose a complex arrangement by the primary objects apparent in the system. The programming challenge was seen as how to write the logic, not how to define the data. Objectoriented programming takes the view that what we really care about are the objects we want to manipulate rather than the logic required to manipulate them. Examples of objects range from human beings (described by name, address, and so forth) to buildings and floors (whose properties can be described and managed) down to the little widgets on your computer desktop (such as buttons and scroll bars). A type of programming in which programmers define not only the data type of a data structure, but also the types of operations (functions) that can be applied to the data structure. In this way, the data structure becomes an object that includes both data and functions. In addition, programmers can create relationships between one object and another. The book contains adequate span to cover the curriculum requisites and rich pedagogical features to cater to the needs of undergraduate students.
