Synopsis

This book will describe the "Process" and take the reader/user through the phases of development. The book takes a very practical perspective, stressing the essential elements needed to get the process started, are the corners that can be cut to get the project elements needed to get the process started, are the corners that can be cut to get the project jump started. This is the real world perspective of the book, the approach that most clients expect will get their projects up and running in the shortest time at the lowest cost.

From the Back Cover

• A complete, step-by-step implementation process for every object-oriented project
• Practical management techniques for every software project leader
• Requirements gathering, use cases, analysis, design, coding, testing, and beyond
• Detailed coverage of user interface design, implementation, and testing

A robust, end-to-end process for any object-based software project!

Today, IT professionals have no shortage of object methodologies and models to choose from. But when it comes to practical processes for implementing them-where to start, what to do next―they're on their own. In The Object-Oriented Development Process, Tom Rowlett fills the gap, presenting a robust, start-to-finish process for delivering object-oriented software. Rowlett identifies six key characteristics of a robust, use-case-based process, and offers expert process recommendations for every key activity:

1. Requirements gathering
2. Test planning
3. Analysis and application specification
4. User interface design
5. User interface implementation and test
6. Test case design and development

1. Use case design
2. Class design
3. Use case and class implementation
4. Use case test
5. Interface and application integration

Rowlett presents several case studies, including a detailed, step-by-step case study that covers everything from requirements gathering to deployment. You'll not only discover where to start, you'll learn which shortcuts you can take without compromising your effectiveness―and how to build on the development and modeling skills you already have.

If you're responsible for delivering high-quality object-oriented software-on time and on budget―The Object-Oriented Development Process is the roadmap you've been searching for.
