Craig Larman has updated this book to fully reflect the new UML 2 standard, to help you master the art of object design, and to promote high-impact, iterative, and skillful agile modeling practices.
Developers and students will learn object-oriented analysis and design (OOA/D) through 3 iterations of 2 start-to-finish case studies. These case studies incrementally introduce key skills, essential OO principles and patterns, UML notation, and best practices. You won’t just learn UML diagrams — you’ll learn how to apply UML in the context of OO software development.
Larman helps you understand evolutionary requirements and use cases, domain object modeling, responsibility-driven design, essential OO design, layered architectures, “Gang of Four” design patterns, GRASP, iterative methods, an agile approach to the Unified Process (UP), & more. This edition’s extensive improvements include:
- A stronger focus on helping you master OOA/D through case studies that demonstrate key OO principles and patterns, while also applying the UML New coverage of UML 2, Agile Modeling, Test-Driven Development, and refactoring;
- Many new tips on combining iterative and evolutionary development with OOA/D;
- Updates for easier study, including new learning aids and graphics; - New college educator teaching resources;
- Guidance on applying the UP in a light, agile spirit, complementary with other iterative methods such as XP and Scrum;
- Techniques for applying the UML to documenting architectures; - A new chapter on evolutionary requirements, & more.
