Object Oriented Systems Analysis And Design With Uml

Ebook: Object-Oriented Systems Analysis and Design Using UML

Systems Analysis and Design: An Object-Oriented Approach with UML, Sixth Edition helps students develop the core skills required to plan, design, analyze, and implement information systems. Offering a practical hands-on approach to the subject, this textbook is designed to keep students focused on doing SAD, rather than simply reading about it. Each chapter describes a specific part of the SAD process, providing clear instructions, a detailed example, and practice exercises. Students are guided through the topics in the same order as professional analysts working on a typical real-world project. Now in its sixth edition, this edition has been carefully updated to reflect current methods and practices in SAD and prepare students for their future roles as systems analysts. Every essential area of systems analysis and design is clearly and thoroughly covered, from project management, to analysis and design modeling, to construction, installation, and operations. The textbook includes access to a range of teaching and learning resources, and a running case study of a fictitious healthcare company that shows students how SAD concepts are applied in real-life scenarios.

eBook: Object-Oriented Systems Analysis 4e

Overview: This text will be the first to present an object-oriented methodology from the outset for beginning Systems Analysis and Design students. It is the first book to introduce object-oriented methods without relying on classical methods to introduce key concepts or without requiring students to know Java or C++. It will presume no knowledge whatsoever about process modeling or data modeling. The widely used UML notation (unified modeling language) will be used throughout the book for all diagrams and model renderings. The key benefit to this approach is that it makes the course easier to teach and learn since many students come to this course with limited backgrounds having only taken one introductory MIS course. Also, this approach is appealing because object-oriented methodology is widely used in industry.

This book introduces students to the overall process of systems analysis and design, and specifically shows how O-O techniques can be used. It also addresses transferable skills, such as those used in fact-finding and project management.

Evolutionary in approach, this book explores informatino systems development--both analysis and design--using an object-oriented methodology combined with a relational database as part of the implementation.

Covering the breadth of a large topic, this book provides a thorough grounding in object-oriented concepts, the software development process, UML and multi-tier technologies. After covering some basic ground work underpinning OO software projects, the book follows the steps of a typical development project (Requirements Capture - Design - Specification & Test), showing how an abstract problem is taken through to a concrete solution. The book is programming language agnostic - so code is kept to a minimum to avoid detail and deviation into implementation minutiae. A single case study running through the text provides a realistic example showing development from an initial proposal through to a finished system. Key artifacts such as the requirements document and detailed designs are included. For each aspect of the case study, there is an exercise for the reader to produce similar documents for a different system.

Appropriate for all introductory level courses on object-oriented system analysis, design, and/or programming.This book systematically introduces the concepts and methods of object-oriented systems analysis and design to students with little or no object experience. Rigorous yet extremely readable, it introduces the entire process of information system design, providing a thorough grounding in object-oriented techniques, UML, and step-by-step system development. Two of the field's most experienced instructors carefully link information systems analysis and design issues to general systems theory, offering a domain-independent view of design that maintains a clear conceptual distinction between requirements and design. After introducing basic systems concepts and the Rational Unified Process, they turn to object-oriented analysis, covering business event analysis, use cases, system sequence diagrams, domain modeling, and more. Part III focuses on system design, including overall system design based on a three-tier architecture, object-oriented program design, communication between the application layer and database, and user interface design. Finally, in Part IV, the authors offer a practical, real-world discussion of both information gathering and software project management. To support effective learning, every chapter begins with clear learning objectives and ends with summaries, lists of key terminology, review materials, exercises, discussion points, and wherever appropriate, case studies for project assignments.
