Object-oriented analysis and design

There are several disciplines in the UP: Business Modeling, Requirements, Design, Implementation, Test, Deployment, Configuration & Change Management, Project Management and Environment

We will consider Business Modeling, Requirements, Design

UP disciplines

Brief description of considering disciplines

• Business Modeling — When developing a single application, this includes domain object modeling. When engaged in large-scale business analysis or business process reengineering, this includes dynamic modeling of the business processes across the entire enterprise.
• Requirements — Requirements analysis for an application, such as writing use cases and identifying non-functional requirements.
• Design — All aspects of design, including the overall architecture, objects, databases, networking, and the like.

Disciplines and Phases

Course Structure and UP Phases and Disciplines

• The inception phase chapters introduce the basics of requirements analysis.
• Iteration 1 introduces fundamental OOA/D and how to assign responsibilities to objects.
• Iteration 2 focuses on object design, especially on introducing some high-use "design patterns."
• Iteration 3 introduces a variety of subjects, such as architectural analysis and framework design.

2.5 Process Customization and the Development Case

Optional Artifacts: a key insight into the UP is that all activities and artifacts (models, diagrams, documents, ...) are optional—well, maybe not the code!

In a UP project, a team should select a small subset of artifacts that address its particular problems and needs. In general, focus on a small set of artifacts that demonstrate high practical value.
