Transition to Object-Oriented Software Development


Book Description

A complete blueprint for transitioning your organization to object-oriented systems. Transition to Object-Oriented Software Development This book will save you the frustration, wasted time, and massive cost overruns often associated with transitions to object-oriented technologies. Using numerous case studies, the authors identify the technical, management, and cultural challenges involved and show you how to overcome those challenges. They arm you with proven tactics for avoiding common traps and pitfalls. And they outfit you with a comprehensive transitioning framework for dealing with all aspects of gearing up to object-oriented technology, including: * Selecting the best object-oriented methods, tools, and development environments * Planning and budgeting projects * Staffing and training * Preparing your organizational culture for object-oriented technology * Tracking and controlling projects * Documenting object-oriented development * Creating practical metrics * Developing workable strategies for legacy systems reuse * Object engineering mission-critical systems * Designing without specs * Delivering shrink-wrapped software products * Maintaining systems post- development Visit our Web site at www.wiley.com/compbooks/




Migrating to Object Technology


Book Description

Many commercial organizations are deciding to adopt object technology. To make the transition successfully, it is essential to work out a migration strategy covering technical, managerial, and educational issues. This book--for software team managers, project leaders, software engineers, and others--presents such a strategy, and includes a fully enabled CASE tool that automates the process.




Management of the Object-oriented Development Process


Book Description

"This book consists of a series of high-level discussions on technical and managerial issues related to object-oriented development"--Provided by publisher.




Developing Object-oriented Software


Book Description

This book walks developers through every step of the object-oriented development process, showing how to tailor and document the development process that is ideal for their organizations.This book shows how to tailor your own object-oriented development process -- a process that delivers software more effectively and virtually documents itself. It presents new techniques for requirements gathering, performing initial object-oriented analysis, transitioning to object-oriented design from procedural environments, implementing a design, and validating the results. It includes comprehensive templates and examples for each phase of the lifecycle. It also presents a detailed case study of a complete project, with example workbook and work products.All object-oriented developers, regardless of the languages and environments they utilize.




Object-Oriented Construction Handbook


Book Description

Object-oriented programming (OOP) has been the leading paradigm for developing software applications for at least 20 years. Many different methodologies, approaches, and techniques have been created for OOP, such as UML, Unified Process, design patterns, and eXtreme Programming. Yet, the actual process of building good software, particularly large, interactive, and long-lived software, is still emerging. Software engineers familiar with the current crop of methodologies are left wondering, how does all of this fit together for designing and building software in real projects? This handbook from one of the world's leading software architects and his team of software engineers presents guidelines on how to develop high-quality software in an application-oriented way. It answers questions such as: * How do we analyze an application domain utilizing the knowledge and experience of the users? * What is the proper software architecture for large, distributed interactive systems that can utilize UML and design patterns? * Where and how should we utilize the techniques and methods of the Unified Process and eXtreme Programming? This book brings together the best of research, development, and day-to-day project work. "The strength of the book is that it focuses on the transition from design to implementation in addition to its overall vision about software development." -Bent Bruun Kristensen, University of Southern Denmark, Odense




Model-Driven Software Migration: A Methodology


Book Description

Today, reliable software systems are the basis of any business or company. The continuous further development of those systems is the central component in software evolution. It requires a huge amount of time- man power- as well as financial resources. The challenges are size, seniority and heterogeneity of those software systems. Christian Wagner addresses software evolution: the inherent problems and uncertainties in the process. He presents a model-driven method which leads to a synchronization between source code and design. As a result the model layer will be the central part in further evolution and source code becomes a by-product. For the first time a model-driven procedure for maintenance and migration of software systems is described. The procedure is composed of a model-driven reengineering and a model-driven migration phase. The application and effectiveness of the procedure are confirmed with a reference implementation applied to four exemplary systems.







Object-oriented Software Development


Book Description

This book provides an iteractive development process and an object-oriented (O-O) development methodology including techniques on scheduling, milestone completion and other requirements for tools to support O-O development. It provides a process and methodology that can be followed to accomplish an analysis, design, implementation, and test of model objects for an application being developed.




Object-oriented Analysis and Design


Book Description

John Deacon's in-depth, highly pragmatic approach to object-oriented analysis and design, demonstrates how to lay the foundations for developing the best possible software. Students will learn how to ensure that analysis and design remain focused and productive. By working through the book, they will gain a solid working knowledge of best practices in software development. The focus of the text is on typical development projects and technologies, showing exactly what the different development activities are, and emphasising what they should and should not be trying to accomplish. This fresh, comprehensive examination of object-oriented analysis and design in the context of today's systems and technologies will be a valuable addition to the bookshelves of undergraduates and graduates on systems analysis and design courses.
