Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UMLTheory and Practice

Diagramming and process are important topics in today's software development world, as the UML diagramming language has gained broad acceptance. This book combines the notation of UML with the lightweight but effective ICONIX process for designing and developing software systems.

Diagramming and process are important topics in today's software development world, as the UML diagramming language has come to be almost universally accepted. Yet process is necessary; by themselves, diagrams are of little use. This is underscored by the number of recent books explaining Extreme Programming (XP), which many believe goes too far toward having no structure or no method. This book combines the notation of UML with the lightweight but effective ICONIX process. The work functions as an up-to-date edition of the authors' successful Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML: A Practical Approach (Addison-Wesley). Sitting between the free-for-all of XP and overly rigid processes like RUP, ICONIX offers enough structure to be successful. ICONIX has attracted a growing following; for example, Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect CASE tool (with 80,000+ copies in the field), which directly supports ICONIX as an option, presenting online help material on ICONIX.

The title leverages the current, strong interest in the UML and use cases Authors have a seven year track record writing and speaking about (and using!) ICONIX Authors' previous book on use case driven object modeling sold over 37,000 copies

Klappentext

Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML: Theory and Practice shows how to drive an object-oriented software design from use case all the way through coding and testing, based on the minimalist, UML-based ICONIX process. In addition to a comprehensive explanation of the foundations of the approach, the book makes extensive use of examples and provides exercises at the back of each chapter. This book leads by example. It demonstrates common analysis and design errors, shows how to detect and fix them, and suggests how to avoid making the same errors in the future. The book also encourages you to examine its UML examples and to search for specific errors. You'll get clues, then later receive the answers during review sessions toward the end of the book.
