Product Description
Product Description
From the Back Cover
Applied Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML: An Annotated e-Commerce Example provides a practical, hands-on guide to putting use case methods to work in real-world situations. This companion workbook to Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML bridges the gap between the theory presented in the authors' first book, and the practical issues involved in the development of an internet/e-commerce application.
Uniquely conceived as a workbook, featuring an e-commerce system for an on-line bookstore as a running example, the book dissects its design in detail, demonstrates the most common design mistakes, and reveals the correct solutions. The hands-on exercises give you the opportunity to detect, identify, and correct critical errors on your own, before reviewing the solutions provided in the book.
The workbook is structured around the proven ICONIX Process, a streamlined approach to UML modeling designed to avoid analysis paralysis without skipping analysis and design. It presents the four key phases of this minimalist approach to use case driven design: domain modeling; use case modeling; robustness analysis; and sequence diagramming. For each of these topics, the book provides an overview, detailed discussion, top 10 mistakes, and a set of exercises for honing object modeling and design skills.
Another unique aspect of this book is the three chapters on reviews. The authors devote a chapter each to requirements review; preliminary design review; and critical design review. This focus on "designing quality in" by teaching how to review UML models fills a major gap in the published literature.
The book shows you, by example, how to avoid more than 70 specific design errors as shown in the "Top 10" error lists on the inside covers and within each chapter. With the information, examples, and exercises in this book, you will develop the knowledge and skills you need to apply use case modeling more effectively to your next application.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A practical guide through the maze of OO theory.,
By chris.dodds@enron.com (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML: A Practical Approach (Object Technology Series) (Paperback)
If you want to try Use Cases & UML but you're not sure where or how to begin then this book could help kickstart your efforts. The book's approach is a good fit for Corporate IT shops - particularly if you regularly have aggressive deadlines to meet and methodologies are expected to earn their keep within weeks ! A cautionary note: identifying generalisation relationships starts very early in the process i.e. before object behaviour is clearly understood. Looking for inheritance too early can cause "analysis paralysis". All in all, an excellent way to get started with OO analysis and design - the purists and theorists won't like it but it's not aimed at them anyway.

4.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent hands on approach to the design process,
By A Customer
This review is from: Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML: A Practical Approach (Object Technology Series) (Paperback)
This book is an excellent introduction to practical Object Modelling. The technique proposed is slimmed down version of the Unified Process. It focusses on the important diagrams and allows the designer to concentrate on moving the process forward. The empasis is very much on practical hands-on design which a lot of other books in this area are quite weak on.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting but long winded,
By Caitlin (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML: A Practical Approach (Object Technology Series) (Paperback)
The book does expand my knowledge on the subject but has the tendency to drivel on and on for my liking and does get very boring. Not a very technical textbook.
