Understand and Use Object Oriented

Methods

OOAD with UML / Session 3 / 2 of 25

Review OOAD refers to the development of systems

with the base concept of objects and classes UML is a modeling tool used in

Information systems Technical systems Embedded systems Distributed systems System software Business Systems

SDLC refers to different phases in the software development process

Objectives

Discuss the class diagram and object diagram

Represent the relationships between classes

Discuss the concept of object Model

Identify classes during analysis

Class and Object Class - A class is a description of a

group of objects with common properties (attributes), behavior (Operations), relationships, and semantic

Object - An object represents an entity, either physical, conceptual, or software

Representation of Relationship

Multiplicity-Multiplicity defines how many objects participate in a relationship

Multiplicity & Navigation

Multiplicity

Aggregation An aggregation is a stronger form of relationship where

the relationship is between a whole and its parts

Student Schedule

Aggregation

WholePart

Aggregation-Composition

Composition is a form of aggregation with strong ownership and coincident lifetimes of the part with the aggregate

Student Schedule

Aggregation

Whole Part

Aggregation-Dependency A dependency relationship is a weaker form of

relationship

Aggregation-Generalization

A specialization/generalization relationship is one, in which objects of the specialized element (the child) are substitutable for objects of the generalized element (the parent)

Association Association is a connection between classes

Constraints of Association

An association may have a name that is placed on, or adjacent to the association path

The name of the association should reflect the purpose of the relationship and be a verb phrase; the name of an association can be omitted, particularly if roles names are used. Names like “has” and “contains should be avoided”, as they add no information about what the relationships are between the classes.

Each end of an association is a role specifying the face that a class plays in the association (not a constraint). Each role must have a name, and the role names must be unique. The role name should be a noun indicating the associated object’s role in relation to the associating object.

The use of association names and role names are mutually exclusive: one should not use both an association name and role name. For each association, it needs to decide as to which conveys more information.

The mechanism for sharing attributes and operations using the principle of generalization is referred to as inheritance

Association is a connection between classes

An interface is a collection of operations that are used to specify a service of a class or a component

Object Model generally deals with classes
