OO pitfalls
To really fail with the RUP,
ignore having or educating people with deep object skills
Not a 1 week course in Java + a 1 week course in OOAD
But 8 weeks of intensive teacher-led education, spread over 6 months + 12 months of
close mentoring by an expert
Craig Larman from How to Fail with the RUP: Seven Steps to Pain and Suffering; Step 3
People are more important than process

Grady Booch
OO is not the use of a particular tool or language

Introduction
A class diagram describes:

the types of objects in the system
the static relationships between them
It shows features of classes
Feature
Property
Operation
Association
Attribute
Class diagram is the most common type of UML diagram
OOAD Training
14

What is an Object?
A discrete entity with a well-defined boundary that encapsulate

state and behavior J. Rumbaugh
deposit()
Properties
Identity : reference
State : attributes and values
Behavior : operations & methods
1254868
"Bill
Gates"
315.00
withdraw()
getOwner()
setOwner()
an Account object
The structure and behavior of similar Objects are defined in their common
Class
OOAD Training
>>
15

What is a Class?
The description for a set of objects that share the same:

attributes
operation
methods
relationships
behavior
A Class can be viewed as:
A specification
A template for objects
An abstract type
There is an infinite number of ways of classifying objects
OOAD Training
>>
16

Class & Objects
An object is an instance of a class
OOAD Training
>>>
17

Attributes
Named properties, characteristics of a class

Typed: description of the range of possible values
visibility name: type [multiplicity] = initial value
Syntax:
Visibilities
+
#
public
visible to all
private
not visible to callers outside the class
protected only visible to children of the class
Multiplicities
[n]
a collection of n items
[n..m] between n and m items (0 = can be null, * = unlimited)
Only name is mandatory in analysis

OOAD Training
18

Responsibilities
Summary of what the class should do (actions, knowledge, decisions)

1 responsibility = 1 short sentence
Syntax: 1 comment per responsibility in a dedicated compartment
LoanOfficer
OOAD Training
Shape
Name
Identification number
-- determine the risk of a

customer loan
-- handle customer-specific
criteria for loan
-- manage shape state

-- handle basic shape
transformation
!!!
19

Operations
Services that can be invoked on an object

to realize behavior
Define the responsibilities of objects
Shared by all instances of the class
An operation's implementation is called a method

signature
Syntax: visibility name (dir parameterName : type = default value, ... ) : returnType
Parameter directions: in, out, inout or return
Only name is mandatory in Analysis
Use {isQuery = true} property

to indicate operation has no side effect and does not change state
OOAD Training
20

Class scope and instance scope
By default: instance scope

Use class scope to define a set of global features for an entire class of
objects
All objects share the same values

of class scope attributes
Class scope operations do not apply to a

specific instance but to the class itself
Can be invoked even if no instance
OOAD Training
21

Encapsulation
Exposing services and hiding internal details

1. Hide data behind operations

2. Limit access with visibilities
3. Group related operations with interfaces
3 levels of encapsulation:
OOAD Training
!!!
22

Relationships - Associations
An association represents a conceptual connection between classes

It allows links between their instances (objects)
Links are permanent, they exists during the whole life-time of the objects
(even if the instances connected may change over time or be empty)
Same semantic as attributes but different notation
Syntax:
Navigability
Name
Role
Multiplicity
OOAD Training
>>
23

Association examples
OOAD Training
>>
24

Aggregation
A specific type of association: whole - part relationship
Keywords that help identifying aggregations:
consists of, contains, is part of

Syntax:
No particular semantic, "A modeling placebo" (J.Rumbaugh)

Example: a computer and its peripherals
OOAD Training
>>
25

Composition
Stronger form of aggregation (tighter coupling)
A part can be included in only one composite at a time

Composite has sole responsibility for the dispositions of all its parts (creation,
destruction, adoption)
Multiplicity of composite always 0..1 or 1

Syntax:
Example: a tree and its leaves

OOAD Training
!!!
26

Generalization and inheritance
Generalization
relationship between a general element and a more specific one

which conforms completely with the first element
which adds supplementary information
Inheritance
mechanism by which the more specific elements incorporate the
structure and the behavior of more general elements

27

Generalization relationship
Special type of association: parent - child relationship

Keywords for identification: is a type of is a kind of
Properties
The parent class (super-class) is a generalization of the child class (sub
class)
All instances of the child class are also instances of the parent class
Children inherit properties of the parent
Children are able to extend and override the inherited structure
Multiple inheritance is allowed in UML
Generalization is transitive
OOAD Training
28

Classification
Generalization = relation between a child class and its parent class

Classification = relationship between an object and its class
Multiple classification
An object may be belong to several types that are not connected by inheritance
(allowed during analysis)
Usage of generalization sets and names
Constraints on generalization sets
{complete}: an object is always an instance of one of the classes

{incomplete}: an object can be instance of none of the classes
{disjoint}: an object can be instance of one and only one of the classes
{overlapping}: on object can be instance of several classes
Default is {incomplete, disjoint}
OOAD Training
29

Multiple classification example
Classification: "John is an instance of employee"
Generalization: "An employee is a kind of person"
John is also an instance of person

RUP BCE
Boundary: responsible for the system boundaries (usually: UI)
Represents the interface between an actor and the system

Correspond to the classes present in GUI design
Objects persist beyond a single execution of the program
Dependent on entity classes: when a change is made to an entity class, the boundary
class updates the GUI display to reflect the change
Control: responsible for transferring control to the appropriate business logic

class
Control the execution of a business process the activities in a use case

Objects do not persist beyond a single execution of the program
Entity: responsible for business functionality and back-end systems interaction

Represents the data structure
Objects persist beyond a single execution of the program
OOAD Training
35

Rejecting Bad Classes
Class with a verbal name
May be a simple operation / method

Class with only one public operation
May be a simple operation / method

Class with no operations
May be an important piece of information

The operation / method may have been missed
Class described as performing something
Maybe no proper data abstraction

Class not part of the system
For Specification and Implementation perspectives

Do not redefine domain names even if bad
OOAD Training
36

Finding Associations
Categories checklist
Conceptual association categories
Examples
A physical part of B
Wheel Car
A logical part of B
FlightPath FlightRoute
A is a description for B
FlightDescription Flight
A is a transaction item of B
SalesItem Sales
A is a member of B
Pilot Airline
A uses B
Pilot Plane
A communication with B
ReservationAgent Passenger
A is an event related to B
Departure Flight
OOAD Training
37

Best practices
Don't try to use all the notations
Start with the simple elements: classes, associations, attributes,

generalization, and constraints
Fit the perspective
Focus on the conceptual and specification perspectives

Do not get bogged down in implementation details too early

Describe how groups of objects collaborate and communicate to realize some

behavior
Primary focus
Either on time Sequence Diagram
Either on messages Communication Diagram
Show sequences of messages

exchanged between objects
to perform a function: a single path of execution (i.e.: scenario)
OOAD Training
42
Uses and aspects
Main uses of interaction diagrams
To look at the behaviour of several objects within a single use case

To model collaboration (use case realisations)
To model the logic of a method
To model the logic of services
Main aspects of interaction diagrams
Display the interaction between actors and the system

Emphasize the sequenced messages exchange between objects
Model outside system events
Shows the dynamic structure of the model
Objects lifetime and activities

Messages (synchronous, asynchronous, self-messages, )
Loops, iterations, conditions,
guard conditions
OOAD Training
43
Sequence diagrams
Introduction
Sequence diagrams
Shows objects as lifelines

Presents interaction between objects overtime
Which objects communicate with which other?
What messages trigger those communications?
System Sequence diagrams
Presents the interaction between the users and the system

Very useful to illustrate use case scenario
How a user will interact with the system?
And what happens internally to get the work done?
OOAD Training
44
Sequence diagrams
Introductive example
Two dimensions
Vertical axis shows the time
Horizontal axis shows a group of objects
OOAD Training
45
Sequence diagrams
UML Components (1/9)
The lifelines
Represent an individual participant (Actor or object instance)

Represents the existence of an object at a particular time (along the vertical
axis)
Syntax
an object icon with a dash line
a rectangle with the object name and a dashed line

OOAD Training
46
Sequence diagrams
Messages
Communication between two objects conveying information

Object receiving message starts activity = execution occurrence
Shown by thin rectangle on object lifeline

Shows the focus of control
Shows which objects execute at some point in time
Either executing its own code or waiting for return of another object
Messages are shown as arrows between lifelines.

Message can have a signature with name and parameters
OOAD Training
47
Sequence diagrams
Messages
Message sent to receiving object represents invoked operation/method the
receiving object's class implements

Different type of messages
Synchronous message (Call): solid line with solid arrowhead (reply omitted)
Asynchronous message (Signal): solid line with stick arrowhead
Reply message (optional): dotted line with arrowhead back to originating lifeline
Recursive message: recursive call of a method calling another method on the same
object
OOAD Training

Sequence diagrams
Combined fragments
Sequence diagrams not intended for complex procedural logic

If required use combined fragments
Split sequence diagrams into fragments
One or more processing steps enclosed in a frame
Executed under specific circumstances and guard conditions
Following types (Interaction Operators) are available
Alternative fragment (denoted alt) : denotes an if then else construction

Option fragment (denoted option) : denotes a switch construction
Parallel fragment (denoted par) : denotes concurrent processing of multiple tasks
Loop fragment (denoted loop) : denotes repetitive logic
Critical Region fragment (denoted region) : denotes a critical section in which
messages can not be interrupted
Interaction Occurrence (denoted ref) : references an interaction captured in
another frame (to break large Sequence Diagram into smaller parts)
Sequence fragment (denoted seq) : denotes a weak sequencing of processing
messages between lifelines (<> Strict fragment )

Software Architecture
Introduction
Architecture is many things to many different interested parties
multiple projects stakeholders

with their own concerns and view of the system to be developed
Architecture embodies, for each stakeholder, views of the system that
addresses their concerns, models the choices/decisions, and suppresses
the other details.
Not all systems require all the same number of views
