Reed's guide includes detailed coverage of architecting VB enterprise applications and features working examples and step-by-step instructions for planning and development of an order entry system, detailing do's and don't's for analysis, design and construction. CD-ROM contains several templates for applying UML, as well as complete Rational Rose models for the sample applications.

* Comprehensive coverage of all aspects of UML (Unified Modeling Language), including use, diagramming notation, the object constraint language, and profiles * UML is the industry standard specification for modeling, visualizing, and documenting software projects * Includes up-to-date coverage of both UML 1.4 and the new 2.0 UML specifications * Thoroughly covers executable UML and testing UML diagrams, making coding more efficient * Companion Web site provides additional code samples and updates
Today’s economy demands top quality software development in record time and with maximum efficiency. UML arms you to meet that challenge, and the UML Bible supplies the most comprehensive UML education you can get.
* * Proven step-by-step "24 Hours" format offers an alternative to the professional-level UML introductions such as UML Distilled or Learning UML. * Now updated with improved diagrams and notation, and more detailed explanations in response to reader feedback on previous editions. * Covers the changes in UML 2.0 designed to support modern Object-Oriented and Component-based programming.
The CD-ROM includes an electronic version of the book, and Poseidon for UML, Community Edition 2.2, a popular UML modeling tool you can use with the lessons in this book to create UML diagrams immediately.
Component-based software development regards software construction in terms of conventional engineering disciplines where the assembly of systems from readily-available prefabricated parts is the norm. Because both component-based systems themselves and the stakeholders in component-based development projects are different from traditional software systems, component-based testing also needs to deviate from traditional software testing approaches. Gross first describes the specific challenges related to component-based testing like the lack of internal knowledge of a component or the usage of a component in diverse contexts. He argues that only built-in contract testing, a test organization for component-based applications founded on building test artifacts directly into components, can prevent catastrophic failures like the one that caused the now famous ARIANE 5 crash in 1996. Since building testing into components has implications for component development, built-in contract testing is integrated with and made to complement a model-driven development method. Here UML models are used to derive the testing architecture for an application, the testing interfaces and the component testers. The method also provides a process and guidelines for modeling and developing these artifacts. This book is the first comprehensive treatment of the intricacies of testing component-based software systems. With its strong modeling background, it appeals to researchers and graduate students specializing in component-based software engineering. Professionals architecting and developing component-based systems will profit from the UML-based methodology and the implementation hints based on the XUnit and JUnit frameworks.

You can't truly understand Systems Analysis and Design by only reading about it; you have to do it. In Systems Analysis and Design, 4th Edition, Dennis, Wixom, and Tegarden offer a hands-on approach to actually doing SAD. Building on their experience as professional systems analysts and award-winning teachers, these three authors capture the experience of actually developing and analyzing systems. They focus on the core set of skills that all analysts must possess--from gathering requirements and modeling business needs, to creating blueprints for how the system should be built.
