Objectives

• State the advantages of an object-oriented approach to software development
• Describe essential object-oriented concepts and terminology
• Perform OO requirements gathering, analysis, and design
• Describe the role of Unified Modeling Language (UML) in object-oriented analysis and design
• Read the most commonly used types of UML diagrams
• Create UML use case, class, and sequence diagrams
• Describe the impact of designing an application that can accommodate changes and the approaches to support such designs
• Create Java classes that implement an object-oriented design
• Apply Java language constructs that enable and enforce OO-related concepts such as data encapsulation, strict typing and type conversion, inheritance, and polymorphism
• Explain how design patterns can improve the implementation of OO designs
• Describe the incremental and iterative process for developing applications using object technology and how it differs from traditional approaches (for example, waterfall) to application development
• Compare the Rational Unified Process (RUP) and Agile approach as software development methodologies
