Feature Summary

  • Wide range of subject matter, covering a complete introductory course.
  • Integrates OO and UML into the Systems Development Life Cycle.
  • Provides a clear and comprehensive treatment of UML 1.4 in the context of the systems development life cycle, without assuming previous knowledge of analysis and design.
  • Presents various lifecycle models, and provides a framework for development using an iterative and incremental process and the major techniques from UML 1.4.
  • Discusses implementation issues in detail and gives code fragments to show possible mappings to implementation technology.
  • Addresses transferable skills, such as those used in fact-finding and project management.
  • Two case studies are used, one for illustrative examples and the other for practical exercises for the reader.
  • Extensive use of examples and exercises from the two case studies provides the reader with many opportunities to practise the application of UML.
  • Structured into four sections, which can be combined in different ways to be of relevance for different modules. The first section is an introduction to information systems and provides the context; the second section explains fundamental object-oriented concepts and covers requirements capture and analysis; the third covers system design and object design; and the fourth covers system development management and methodologies.
