Object Oriented Analysis &

Design (OOAD)
2
OOAD
It focuses on objects where system is broken
down in terms of the objects that exist within it.

Functions (behaviour) and data (state) relating
to a single object are self-contained or
encapsulated in one place.
3
Objects
Object is an abstraction of something in a
problem domain, reflecting the capabilities
of the system to keep information about it,
interact with it, or both.
Objects are entities in a software system
which represent instances of real-world and
system entities

Object Class
Class is a description of a set of objects that
share the same attributes, operations,
methods, relationship and semantics.
Object classes are templates for objects.
They may be used to create objects.
An object represents a particular instance of
a class.

6
Term of objects
Attribute: data items that define object.
Operation: function in a class that combine
to form behavior of class.
Methods: the actual implementation of
procedure (the body of code that is executed
in response to a request from other objects
in the system).

Encapsulation and Data Hiding
Packaging related data and operations
together is called encapsulation.
Data hiding: hides the internal data from
external by methods (interface).
9
Encapsulation
private attributes and methods are encapsulated within the
class, they cannot be seen by clients of the class
public methods define the interface that the class provides
to its clients
- numCustomers = 0
- MIN_BUDGET = 200
- name: String
- address: String
- budget: int
+ placeOrder( ): void
Customer

+ printNumCustomer( ): void

Object communication
Objects communicate with each other by sending
messages
a message is a method call from a message-sending
object to a message-receiving object
a message consists of
an object reference which indicates the message receiver
a method name (corresponding to a method of the receiver),
and
parameters (corresponding to the arguments of the calling
method)
a message-receiving object is a server to a message-
sending object, and the message-sending object is a
client of the server

Inheritance
Object classes may inherit attributes and
services from other object classes.
Inheritance represents the generalization of
a class.

Multiple inheritance
Rather than inheriting the attributes and services
from a single parent class, a system which
supports multiple inheritance allows object classes
to inherit from several super-classes
Can lead to semantic conflicts where
attributes/services with the same name in different
super-classes have different semantics
Makes class hierarchy reorganisation more
complex

Advantages of inheritance
It is an abstraction mechanism which may
be used to classify entities
It is a reuse mechanism at both the design
and the programming level
The inheritance graph is a source of
organisational knowledge about domains
and systems
20
Problems with inheritance
Object classes are not self-contained. they cannot
be understood without reference to their super-
classes
Designers have a tendency to reuse the inheritance
graph created during analysis. Can lead to
significant inefficiency
The inheritance graphs of analysis, design and
implementation have different functions and
should be separately maintained
21
Inheritance and OOD
There are differing views as to whether
inheritance is fundamental to OOD.
View 1. Identifying the inheritance hierarchy or
network is a fundamental part of object-oriented design.
Obviously this can only be implemented using an
OOPL.
View 2. Inheritance is a useful implementation concept
which allows reuse of attribute and operation
definitions. Identifying an inheritance hierarchy at the
design stage places unnecessary restrictions on the
implementation
Inheritance introduces complexity and this is
undesirable, especially in critical systems
22
Objects Association
Modeling an association between two classes
means that there is some sort of relationship
between objects of each class that may be
connected.

Object aggregation
Aggregation model shows how classes
which are collections are composed of other
classes

Similar to the part-of relationship in

Object Cohesion & Coupling
Cohesion of a component is a measure of how
well it fits together. Each operation provides
functionality which allows the attributes of the
object to be modified, inspected or used as a basis
for service provision.
Coupling is an indication of the strength of
interconnections between program units. Highly
coupled systems have strong interconnections,
with program units dependent on each other
(shared variables, interchange control function).
Loosely coupled system which are independent .
26
Polymorphism
the ability of different objects to perform the
appropriate method in response to the same
message is known as polymorphism.
the selection of the appropriate method depends
on the class used to create the object

Shape
Square Circle
name
getName( )
calculateArea( )
side
calculateArea( )
radius
calculateArea( )
27
Example Polymorphism
class Shape {
private String name;
public Shape(String aName) { name=aName; }
public String getName( ) { return name; }
public float calculateArea( ) { return 0.0f; }
} // End Shape class

a generic action
class Circle extends Shape {
private float radius;
public Circle(String aName) { super(aName); radius = 1.0f; }
public Circle(String aName, float radius) {
super(aName); this.radius = radius;
}
public float calculateArea() { return (float)3.14f*radius*radius; }
} // End Circle class

28
class Square extends Shape {
private float side;
public Square(String aName) { super(aName); side =
1.0f; }
public Square(String aName, float side) {
super(aName); this.side = side;
}
public float calculateArea() { return (float)
side*side; }
} // End Square class
29
Polymorphism Example
public class ShapeDemoClient {
public static void main(String argv[ ]) {
Shape c1 = new Circle("Circle C1");
Shape c2 = new Circle("Circle C2", 3.0f);
Shape s1 = new Square("Square S1");
Shape s2 = new Square("Square S2", 3.0f);
Shape shapeArray[ ] = {c1, s1, c2, s2};
for (int i = 0; i < shapeArray.length; i++) {
System.out.println("The area of " + shapeArray[i].getName( )
+ " is " + shapeArray[i].calculateArea( )
+ " sq. cm.");
}
} // End main
} // End ShapeDemoClient1 class

OO Analysis and Design
OO Analysis - examines requirements from the perspective
of the classes and objects found in the vocabulary of the
problem domain. In other words, the world (of the system)
is modelled in terms of objects and classes.

OO Design - OO decomposition and a notation for depicting
models of the system under development. Structures are
developed whereby sets of objects collaborate to provide
the behaviours that satisfy the requirements of the problem.

31
Object Oriented Analysis
Analyze the domain problem
Describe the process systems
Identify the objects
Specify attributes
Defining operations
Inter-object Communication
32
Identifying Object
Objects can be:
External Entity (e.g., other systems, devices, people)
that produce or consume information to be used by
system
Things (e.g., reports, displays, letters, signals) that are
part of information domain for the problem
Places (e.g., books room) that establish the context of
the problem and the overall function of the system.
Organizational units (e.g., division, group, team,
department) that are relevant to an application,
Transaction (e.g., loan, take course, buy, order).

33
Example of candidate objects
Just a Line management wishes to increase security, both in their building and on
site, without antagonizing their employees. They would also like to prevent
people who are not part of the company from using the Just a Line car park.
It has been decide to issue identity cards to all employees, which they are expected
to wear while on the Just a Line site. The cards records the name, department
and number of the member of staff, and permit access to the Just a Line car
park.
A barrier and a card reader are placed at the entrance to the car park. The driver of
an approaching car insert his or her numbered card in the card reader, which
then checks that the card number is known to the Just a Line system. If the
card is recognized, the reader sends a signal to raise the barrier and the car is
able to enter the car park.
At the exit, there is also a barrier, which is raised when a car wishes to leave the
car park.
When there are no spaces in the car park a sign at the entrance display Full and
is only switched off when a car leaves.
Special visitors cards, which record a number and the current date, also permit
access to the car park. Visitors cards may be sent out in advance, or collected
from reception. All visitors cards must be returned to reception when the
visitor leaves Just a Line.

34
Candidate objects:
Just a Line management security building
site employee people company
car park card name department
number member of staff access barrier
card reader entrance driver car
system signal exit space
sign visitor reception
35
Candidate objects rejection
duplicates: if two or more objects are simply different names for the
same thing.
irrelevant: objects which exists in the problem domain, but which are
not intended.
vague: when considering words carefully it sometimes becomes clear
that they do not have a price meaning and cannot be the basis of a
useful in the system.
general: the meaning is too broad.
attributes: as the attribute of objects.
associations: actually represents the relationships between objects.
roles: sometimes objects referred to by the role they play in a
particular part of the system.

Data Dictionary
Barrier: type + up
type = [Entrance|Exit]
up = [true|false]

raise: if the barrier is not already raised, this operation takes as
argument an object of the barrier class and returns an object of the
same class, with the up attribute set to true. If the barrier is already
up, the operation returns the error message barrier is already raised

lower: if the barrier is not already lower, this operation takes as
argument an object of the barrier class and returns an object of the
same class, with the up attribute set to false. If the barrier is already
down, the operation returns the error message barrier already
lowered.

Object behaviour modelling
A behavioural model shows the interactions
between objects to produce some particular
system behaviour that is specified as a use-
case
Sequence diagrams (or collaboration
diagrams) in the UML are used to model
interaction between objects

OO Analysis and Design
Object-Oriented (OO) development is very different
from structured development:

Structured approach focuses on major functions
within a system and on the data used by the
functions.

OO approach focuses on the objects in a system
and on the relationships between those objects.
44
Unlike functional decomposition, OO views a
complex problem as a meaningful collection of
objects that collaborate to achieve some higher
level behaviour => closely mirrors how people
view complex problems => using OO should
make the job of developing large, complex
systems more manageable.
45
Object Oriented Model

47
Comparison
OO:
Systems decomposed into
collections of data objects;
function + data in one place =>
System components more
independent => more resilient
to requirements and
maintenance changes.
Inheritance and polymorphism
are possible => reuse,
extension, and tailoring of
software/designs is possible.
Closely mirrors how humans
decompose and solve
complex.
Structured:
Systems decomposed into
functions; functions and data
modelled separately =>
System components are more
dependent on each other =>
requirements and
maintenance changes more
difficult
Inheritance and polymorphism
not possible => limited reuse
possible.
System components do not
map closely to real-world
entities => difficult to manage
complexity.
48
Comparison
OO:
Process allows for iterative and
incremental development =>
Integration of programs is
series of incremental
prototypes.
Users and developers get
important feedback
throughout development.
Testing resources distributed
more evenly.
If time is short, coding and
testing can begin before the
design is finished.
Structured:
Process less flexible and largely
linear =>
Integration of programs is big
bang effect.
Users or developers provided
with little or no feedback; see
system only when it has been
completed.
Testing resources are
concentrated in the
implementation stage only.
Coding and testing cannot
begin until all previous stages
are complete.
