Chapter (1) Part II

The document discusses the Unified Modeling Language (UML) which is a standard modeling language for object-oriented software development. UML evolved from earlier object-oriented design methods and provides standard visual notation techniques to create models of object-oriented software systems. It defines a set of graphical elements that can be used to visualize, specify, construct and document artifacts of a software-intensive system.

Methodology

• Methodologies offer two forms of guidance in software development

• define a number of models to help to develop a system

• define a set of formal notations in which recommended model can be


written down and documented.
Methodology Unified Modeling Language

Methodology

• mean a suggested strategy or method for developing software systems.

• define various activities involved in software development and specify the


order to carry out.
Methodology Unified Modeling Language

Classification of Methodology

• Different methodologies can be based on a common understanding of how to


describe the underlying structure of software systems.

• So, related methodologies will often recommend the use of very similar models in
development.

• Different classes of methodology are in use

• Structured methods

• Object-oriented methods
Methodology Unified Modeling Language

Structured Method

• structured analysis, structure design and their many variants

• characteristics model – data flow diagram

• software system - collection of data that can be processed by a number of functions


external to the data.

• appropriate for design of data-rich systems and for implementation on relational


databases.
Methodology Unified Modeling Language

Object-Oriented Method

• similarities between the notation used in some object-oriented and structured

methodologies

• based on different understanding of the basic structure of software systems

• high level of agreement among different object-oriented methodologies

• important – to use a consistent and clearly defined notation


Methodology Unified Modeling Language

Summary

• The process defined by a methodology can be thought of as defining an

outline schedule or plan for a project.

• Object-oriented design can be taught in a generic manner, without being

constrained by the definitions of one methodology.

UML

• UML is a notation suitable for use with object-oriented methods


• UML does not define a process
• It evolved from three earlier methods
• Grady Booch's method
• OMT: James Rumbaugh et al
• Objectory: Ivar Jacobson
• Now the industry-standard design notation

4+1 View Model

• UML can describe a system from a number of perspectives, or views

• Views highlight aspects of the system important to different stakeholders


Unified Modeling Language Unified Modeling Language

Views

Use case view: describes behaviour

• Useful for analysts, users and testers

Design view: describes logical structure

• Useful for programmers as basis for coding

Implementation view: describes components

• Useful for configuration management etc

Process and deployment views

• Describe concurrency and distribution

Some UML Terminology

Model
• Sometimes, the information in a view
• Sometimes, all the information about the system
• May be produced at different stages of development process
Model element
• A modelling 'atom': e.g. a class or a method call
• UML defines a wide range of different types of model elements.
Diagram
• A graphical presentation of a collection of model elements
• Each diagram has rules.
• UML defines nine distinct diagram types.
Unified Modeling Language Unified Modeling Language

Design models and code

• UML is based on the same object model as object-oriented programming


languages
Unified Modeling Language Unified Modeling Language

UML Pragmatics

• A UML model is like an abstract program

• UML can describe the structure of source code

• UML can describe the run-time behaviour

• UML is not (normally) executable

• Tools exist to support moving between UML and code

• UML should be used in conjunction with a suitable software development
