What Is Hierarchical Object Oriented Design

Hierarchical Object-Oriented Design (HOOD) is a software design method that breaks a problem down into manageable hierarchical levels using both textual descriptions and graphical diagrams. Current object-oriented practices include agile methodologies like Scrum that emphasize iterative development, microservices architectures that decompose systems into independent services, and continuous integration/deployment practices that automate testing and deployment. Emerging approaches also focus on domain-driven design, DevOps collaboration, and supporting tools like Kubernetes and Jenkins.

What is hierarchical object-oriented design?

Explain current and emerging object-oriented


software engineering practices and support tools.
Hierarchical Object-Oriented Design (HOOD):

Definition: HOOD is a detailed software design method based on hierarchical decomposition of


a software problem.
Origins: Initially created for the European Space Agency (ESA), HOOD has applications in
diverse domains such as aerospace (Eurofighter Typhoon, Helios 2 Earth Observation ground
control, Ariane 5 on-board computer), ground transportation, and nuclear plants.
Approach:
 Hierarchical Decomposition: Breaks down the software design into manageable
hierarchical levels.
 Textual and Graphical Representations: Combines both textual descriptions and graphical
diagrams to describe the design.

Current and Emerging Object-Oriented Software Engineering Practices:

Agile Development:
 Description: Agile methodologies (e.g., Scrum, Kanban) emphasize iterative
development, collaboration, and flexibility.
 Benefits: Faster delivery, adaptability to changing requirements, and improved customer
satisfaction.
 Support Tools: Jira, Trello, Azure DevOps.
Microservices Architecture:
 Description: Decompose large systems into smaller, independent services.
 Benefits: Scalability, maintainability, and ease of deployment.
 Support Tools: Kubernetes, Docker, Istio.
Domain-Driven Design (DDD):
 Description: Focuses on understanding the domain and modeling software based on it.
 Benefits: Improved alignment with business needs, better communication between
stakeholders.
 Support Tools: Event Storming, Bounded Contexts.
Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD):
 Description: Automate build, test, and deployment processes.
 Benefits: Faster feedback reduced manual effort, and reliable releases.
 Support Tools: Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, CircleCI.
DevOps Practices:
 Description: Collaboration between development and operations teams.
 Benefits: Streamlined workflows, faster delivery, and improved quality.
 Support Tools: Ansible, Terraform, Prometheus.
