Object Oriented Software Engineering: A Use Case Driven Approach

Lucidly describes the fundamental principals of object-oriented analysis, design, and programming. Excellent coverage of object-oriented analysis including the introduction of use cases. Uses an awkward state transition graph that resembles a flow chart in the design methodology. Emphasizes traceability from analysis model to design model to source code. Describes how object-oriented technology impacts specialized topics such as real-time systems, relational databases, testing strategies, component reuse, and product management. The "warehouse management system" case study is more stimulating than the longer "telecom" case study. Compares the OOSE method with other standard object-oriented methods.
