Module Aims
|
7 To introduce students to the main ideas in object-oriented systems analysis and design.
7 To give students practical experience in applying the ideas, and in using a current O.O. Analysis and Design toolset.

Learning Outcomes
|
On completion of this module, students will :
7 Understand the differences in rationale underlying the functional and the O.O. approaches to systems analysis and design
7 Understand the main techniques and representations used in O-O modelling
7 Have had some limited practical experience in applying O-O analysis and design concepts, and in using O.O. analysis and design tools.

|
· Essential differences between a functional and an O.O. approach to analysis and design.
· Use Case models.
· Class Models.
· Modelling interaction between classes (e.g. collaboration diagrams, sequence diagrams).
· Modelling state and activity ( e.g. STATECHARTS, Activity Diagrams).
· OCL
