Object-Oriented Analysis and Design

Abstract

This chapter surveys the most significant object-oriented design and analysis methods to emerge since the late 1980s. It concentrates primarily on OOA (Coad and Yourdon,1991) and Booch (Booch, 1991, 1994), Object Modeling Technique (Rumbaugh et al., 1991), Objectory (Jacobson, 1992) and Fusion (Coleman et al., 1994). It also introduces the Unified Modeling Language (Rational, 2001; Jacobson et al., 1998).
