The Requirements Model and the Analysis Model Static Analysis Dynamic Analysis Functional/ Nonfunctional Requirements Use Case Diagrams/ Sequence Diagrams (the system level) - Class Diagrams - State Diagrams/ Refined Sequence Diagrams (The object level) Requirements Elicitation Process The Analysis Process

5. Static Modeling Class Diagrams A Class is defined as –Real world entity type about which information is stored –Represents a collection of identical objects (instances)– Described by means of attributes (data items) –Has operations to access data maintained by objects –Each object instance can be uniquely identified Relationships between classes –Associations –Composition / Aggregation –Generalization / Specialization

6. The Static Model Defines the static structure of the logical model Represents classes, class hierarchies using packages, classes, and their relationships, Evolve in three phases the conceptual phase, the analysis phase, and the design phase.

7. The conceptual Level At the conceptual phase, classes are defined based on the classes found in the problem domain descriptions (based on the objects identified in step 6 in the Requirements Elicitation Process) A context class diagram is defined first, where the system under development is represented by one package, and other classes represent external classes representing the actors

8. Context Class Diagram Defines the Boundary of the system > Input Devices System under development > Output Devices Specify the classes of the external input/output devices and other actors (users, other systems, etc.) and the system classes See Vending Machine example in slides 5 slides no. 19-20 > Other Actors

9. The conceptual Level The system package is defined by a diagram representing the main classes and interface classes to external classes Each subsystem is represented by a class diagram defining the classes of objects needed to realize the use cases defined in the use case diagrams

10. The conceptual Level Identify the system classes as Interface objects, Monitors objects, controllers objects, Monitors > Input_devices or actors Controllers > Output_devices or actors

11. Example of System packages of E-Commerce Application 3 types of classes: Boundary, entity, and control See text p.177 Boundary entity control

12. The Analysis Level At the analysis level, class diagrams are refined by adding relationships between classes, attributes and methods depicting how objects of the static view are used to realize use cases in sequence diagrams Emphasis is placed on distributing behavior, resolving software interfaces, and identifying generalization relationships that will maximize the effectiveness of the object model

13. The Class Diagram Notation Identify classes, attributes of each class, and operations of each class Classes, their attributes and methods are specified based on the objects needed to realized use case and interfaces to external entities (see slides 3, registration system example: slides 26-43) Detailed Attributes, Data types, And operations Are defined/ refined During design

14. Identify Class relationships Pilot Commands Aircraft Control Association Aggregate/ Whole Aggregated/ Part Aggregation (hollow diamond)/ Composition (solid diamond) Child Parent Generalization

15. Associations Between Classes Associations between classes are generally shown as solid lines connecting the associated classes. A notable exceptions to the solid line rule are the use of dashed lines to depict dependencies as special case of association,

16. Associations Association is –static, structural relationship between classes –E.g, Employee works in Department –Multiplicity of Associations Specifies how many instances of one class may relate to a single association, Company hasPresident –1-to-many association, Bank managesAccount –Optional association (0, 1, or many) –Customer ownsCredit Card instance of another class –1-to-1 –Many-to-Many association –Course has Student, and Student attends Course

17. Dependency: A Special Case of Association Dependency CommandManager (Client class) depends on services provided by the other three server classes Client

18. Aggregation Relation Aggregation – A hollow diamond is attached to the end of the path to indicate aggregation. The diamond is attached to the class that is the aggregate. Aggregation provides a definitive conceptual whole part relationship

19. Aggregation Example Explore other examples of Aggregation Is an aggregate of Zero or more of

20. Composition: A Special Case of Aggregation Composition is shown as a solid filled diamond, with the diamond attached to the class that is the composite. Composition is a form of aggregation that requires coincident lifetime of the part with the whole and singular ownership; i.e. the part is owned by only one whole and is deleted when the whole is deleted Is composed of

21. Composition example

22. Generalization/Specialization Relation Generalization is shown as a solid-line arrow from the child (the more specific element) to the parent (the more general elementthis type of relationship is also called inheritance. Should be used to define class hierarchies based on abstraction

23. Generalization/Specialization Relation Controllers and Monitors are examples of abstract classes Controller Brake Controller Engine Controller

24. Multiplicity of Relationships Multiplici ties Meaning 0..1 zero or one instance. The notation n.. m indicates n to m instances. 0..* or * no limit on the number of instances (including none). 1exactly one instance 1..*at least one instance
