Concise and easy-to-understand guidelines and standards for creating UML 2.0 diagrams.
Concise and easy-to-understand guidelines and standards for creating UML 2.0 diagrams.
* 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.
The UML, or Unified Modeling Language, is the de facto standard adopted by the Object Management Group (OMG) and by almost all vendors of object modeling tools. The Unified Process is explicitly designed to work with the UML and is a whole design method covering the majority of the life cycle of a software product. John Hunt's book guides you through the use of the UML and the Unified Process and their application to Java systems. Key Topics Focusing explicitly on applying the notation and the method to Java, the book is clearly written to appeal to practitioners. This second edition is considerably revised and extended and includes examples taken from the latest version of Rational Rose and Together. All the UML references are updated to the latest version and the Patterns chapter has been expanded to include J2EE examples. New chapters are included showing how the Unified Process can be used in real world projects and project management, and there is comprehensive coverage of Agile Modeling. - A truly practical introduction to object oriented analysis and design using the Unified Process. Where necessary the UML is introduced, to support the Unified Process steps. - Good coverage of Design Patterns and how they integrate into Java development - Focuses on the real world use of UML and the Unified Process via a detailed case study that follows the whole design process through from the initial setting up, to implementation in Java and Agile Modeling - Features and Benefits - How to use the Unified Process in real world projects - Covers the Unified Process and UML in one book - A concise and accessible step-by-step guide to applying the Unified Process and UML in Java - Explains Design Patterns and discusses how Agile Modeling fits with the Unified Process John Hunt is Technical Director at JayDee Technology Ltd. He runs industrial courses, including server-side Java technologies. He also leads development projects for government and blue chip organizations using Java, J2EE, XML and C#. He is the author of nine other books on Java, XML and object orientation.
