Object-Oriented Software Engineering Practical Software Development using UML and Java Chapter 5: Modelling with Classes
5. 1 What is UMl? The Unified Modelling language is a standard graphical language for modelling object oriented software At the end ofthe 1980s and the beginning of 1990s, the first object- oriented development processes appeared The proliferation of methods and notations tended to cause considerable confusion Two important methodologists Rumbaugh and Booch decided to merge their approaches in 1994 They worked together at the Rational Software Corporation In 1995, another methodologist, Jacobson, joined the team -His work focused on use cases In 1997 the Object Management Group(OMG) started the process ofuml standardization www.oseng.com O Lethbridge/Laganiere 2001 Chapter 5: Modelling with classes

The Unified Modelling Language is a standard graphical language for modelling object oriented software • At the end of the 1980s and the beginning of 1990s, the first objectoriented development processes appeared • The proliferation of methods and notations tended to cause considerable confusion • Two important methodologists Rumbaugh and Booch decided to merge their approaches in 1994. —They worked together at the Rational Software Corporation • In 1995, another methodologist, Jacobson, joined the team —His work focused on use cases • In 1997 the Object Management Group (OMG) started the process of UML standardization
UML diagrams Class diagrams -describe classes and their relationships Interaction diagrams show the behaviour of systems in terms of how objects interact with each other State diagrams and activity diagrams show how systems behave internally Component and deployment diagrams -show how the various components of systems are arranged logically and physically www.oseng.com O Lethbridge/Laganiere 2001 Chapter 5: Modelling with classes

What constitutes a good model? A model should use a standard notation be understandable by clients and users lead software engineers to have insights about the system provide abstraction Models are used to help create designs to permit analysis and review of those designs as the core documentation describing the system www.oseng.com O Lethbridge/Laganiere 2001 Chapter 5: Modelling with classes

5.2 Essentials of UML Class Diagrams The main symbols shown on class diagrams are: asses represent the types of data themselves · associations represent linkages between instances of classes Attributes are simple data found in classes and their instances perations represent the functions performed by the classes and their Instances · Generalizations group classes into inheritance hierarchies www.oseng.com O Lethbridge/Laganiere 2001 Chapter 5: Modelling with classes 6
