Requirements Analysis and System Design

Shelving category: Systems Analysis and Design/Object-Oriented Technology/Software EngineeringRequirements Analysis and System DesignDeveloping Information Systems with UMLLeszek A MaciaszekThe development of a software system takes place in three iterative and incremental phases - analysis, design and implementation. This book describes the methods and techniques used for analysis and design, with implementation issues addressed to the extent to which they must be considered in the design. The text concentrates on object-oriented software development, using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The book uses the teach-by-example principle - all concepts are exemplified and the running case studies present integrated solutions.The focus of the book is on developing large-scale, client/server, multi-tier object-oriented information systems. The client is a workstation with a GUI and the server manages a database. The client, server and middle-tier processes communicate via object messaging. The server database can be relational, object-relational or purely object-oriented. The book identifies ways to: ? integrate analysis and design models;? harness the complexity of large system mod
