6. Benefits of the object-oriented approach addresses three pervasive problems with traditional system development addresses three pervasive problems with traditional system development quality, productivity, and flexibility quality, productivity, and flexibility each object is small thereby reducing complexity and leading to higher quality each object is small thereby reducing complexity and leading to higher quality an object can be reused once it is written, implemented, and tested an object can be reused once it is written, implemented, and tested system can be easily modified by changing only the appropriate objects system can be easily modified by changing only the appropriate objects

7. Hierarchies organization of classes into super and sub classes organization of classes into super and sub classes sub classes inherit attributes and methods from those above in the hierarch sub classes inherit attributes and methods from those above in the hierarch allows system to be broken down into smaller pieces that are easier to understand, implement, maintain allows system to be broken down into smaller pieces that are easier to understand, implement, maintain ensures independence of system components ensures independence of system components

15. Polymorphism literally means "multiple forms“ literally means "multiple forms“ extremely important to object-oriented programmers who have to implement messages extremely important to object-oriented programmers who have to implement messages ability to send the same message to different receivers and have the message trigger the right method within each receiver ability to send the same message to different receivers and have the message trigger the right method within each receiver

16. Sequence diagrams presents object interaction arranged in time sequence presents object interaction arranged in time sequence shows the objects involved in the scenario and the sequence of messages that are exchanged shows the objects involved in the scenario and the sequence of messages that are exchanged show interactions among objects and with outside actors for a specific scenario or instance of a use case show interactions among objects and with outside actors for a specific scenario or instance of a use case

17. Actors either a person (user) interacting with the system or another system interacting with the system either a person (user) interacting with the system or another system interacting with the system use cases capture the main functionality of a system from the perspective of a user or actor use cases capture the main functionality of a system from the perspective of a user or actor

18. Use cases identified by looking for events that might cause the user to interact with the system identified by looking for events that might cause the user to interact with the system a use case might have more than one scenario a use case might have more than one scenario

25. Process vs. Technique “Process” explains what tasks to do and when to do them. “Process” explains what tasks to do and when to do them. “Technique” describes approaches that could or should be used for the tasks at hand. “Technique” describes approaches that could or should be used for the tasks at hand. how to implement the process how to implement the process

26. Objectives vs. Scope Objectives are statements that define the expected benefits of the system. Objectives are statements that define the expected benefits of the system. Scope defines the boundary of the system. Scope defines the boundary of the system. describes what the system will be used for describes what the system will be used for defines main users defines main users prevents requirements creep prevents requirements creep ever-expanding objectives ever-expanding objectives keeps cost and schedule under control keeps cost and schedule under control

27. Starting an Object-Oriented Project Start by identifying the most important business events. Start by identifying the most important business events. there might be many more events buy only the important or typical events need to be identified early on there might be many more events buy only the important or typical events need to be identified early on this can lead rapidly to an initial prototype that can ultimately be expanded into the full system this can lead rapidly to an initial prototype that can ultimately be expanded into the full system yields gradual implementation and growing benefits yields gradual implementation and growing benefits

28. Use Cases Use cases provide natural way of dividing the system into manageable units. Use cases provide natural way of dividing the system into manageable units. The objective of use cases is to identify what the system must do for the user to complete required work tasks. The objective of use cases is to identify what the system must do for the user to complete required work tasks.
