Object-Oriented

Software Design (lecture 7)

1
Object-oriented Concepts
 Basic Mechanisms:
 Objects:
 A real-world entity.
 A system is designed as a set of interacting
objects.
 Consists of data (attributes) and functions
(methods) that operate on data
 Hides organization of internal information
(Data abstraction)
 Examples: an employee, a book etc.

Model of an object

3
Object-oriented Concepts
 Class:
 Instances are objects
 Template for object creation
 Examples: set of all employees, different
types of book

4
Object-oriented Concepts
 Methods and message:
 Operations supported by an object
 Means for manipulating the data of
other objects
 Invoked by sending message
 Examples: calculate_salary, issue-
book, member_details, etc.

5
Object-oriented Concepts
 Inheritance:
 Allows to define a new class (derived
class) by extending or modifying existing
class (base class)
 Represents Generalization-
specialization relationship
 Allows redefinition of the existing
methods (method overriding)

6
Object-oriented Concepts
 Multiple Inheritance:
 Subclass can inherit attributes and
methods from more than one base class

 Multiple inheritance is represented by

arrows drawn from the subclass to each of
the base classes

Object-oriented Concepts
 Key Concepts:
 Abstraction:
 Consider aspects relevant for certain
purpose
 Suppress non-relevant aspects
 Supported at two levels i.e. class level
where base class is an abstraction &
object level where object is a data
abstraction entity

9
Object-oriented Concepts
 Advantages of abstraction:
 Reduces complexity of software
 Increases software productivity
 It is shown that software
productivity is inversely proportional
to software complexity

10
Object-oriented Concepts
 Encapsulation:
 Objects communicate outside world
through messages
 Objects data encapsulated within its
methods

Object-oriented Concepts
 Polymorphism:
 Denotes to poly (many) morphism
(forms)
 Same message result in different
actions by different objects (static
binding)

13
Object-oriented Concepts
 Dynamic binding:
 In inheritance hierarchy, an object can be
assigned to another object of its ancestor class

 A method call to an ancestor object would

result in the invocation of appropriate method
of object of the derived class

14
Object-oriented Concepts
 Dynamic binding:
 Exact method cannot be known at compile
time

 Dynamically decided at runtime

15
Object-oriented Concepts
 Composite objects:
 Object containing other objects

16
Advantages
of Object-oriented design
 Code and design reuse
 Increased productivity
 Ease of testing & maintenance
 Better understandability
 Its agreed that increased
productivity is chief advantage

17
Advantages
of Object-oriented design
 Initially incur higher costs, but
after completion of some projects
reduction in cost become possible
 Well-established OO methodology
and environment can be managed
with 20-50% of traditional cost
of development

18
Object
modelling using UML
 UML is a unified modelling
language
 Not a system design or
development methodology
 Used to document object-oriented
analysis and design
 Independent of any specific design
methodology

19
UML
 Based Principally on
 OMT [Rumbaugh 1991]
 Booch’s methodology[Booch 1991]
 OOSE [Jacobson 1992]
 Odell’s methodology[Odell 1992]
 Shlaer and Mellor [Shlaer 1992]

Different object modelling techniques in UML

21
Why UML is required?
 Model is required to capture only
important aspects
 UML a graphical modelling tool, easy
to understand and construct
 Helps in managing complexity

22
UML diagrams
 Nine diagrams to capture
different views of a system
 Provide different perspectives of
the software system
 Diagrams can be refined to get
the actual implementation of the
system

23
UML diagrams
 Views of a system
 User’s view
 Structural view
 Behavioral view
 Implementation view
 Environmental view

24

- Component Diagram - Deployment Diagram

Diagrams and views in UML

25
Are all views required?
 NO
 Use case model, class diagram and one
of the interaction diagram for a simple
system
 State chart diagram in case of many
state changes
 Deployment diagram in case of large
number of hardware components

26
Use Case model
 Consists of set of “use cases”
 An important analysis and design
artifact
 Other models must confirm to this
model
 Not really an object-oriented model
 Represents a functional or process
model

27
Use Cases
 Different ways in which system can be used
by the users
 Corresponds to the high-level requirements
 Represents transaction between the user and
the system
 Define behavior without revealing internal
structure of system
 Set of related scenarios tied together by a
common goal

28
Use Cases
 Normally, use cases are independent
of each other
 Implicit dependencies may exist
 Example: In Library Automation
System, renew-book & reserve-book
are independent use cases. But in
actual implementation of renew-book,
a check is made to see if any book has
been reserved using reserve-book

29
Example of
Use Cases
 For library information system
 issue-book
 Query-book
 Return-book
 Create-member
 Add-book, etc.

30
Representation of
Use Cases
 Represented by use case diagram
 Use case is represented by ellipse
 System boundary is represented by
rectangle
 Users are represented by stick
person icon (actor)
 Communication relationship
between actor and use case by line
 External system by stereotype

31
Example of
Use Cases

Play Move

Player Tic-tac-toe game

Use case model

32
Why develop
Use Case diagram?
 Serves as requirements specification
 Users identification helps in
implementing security mechanism
through login system
 Another use in preparing the
documents (e.g. user’s manual)

33
Factoring
Use Cases
 Complex use cases need to be factored
into simpler use cases
 Represent common behavior across
different use cases
 Three ways of factoring
 Generalization
 Includes
 Extends

34
Factoring Using

Class diagram
 Describes static structure of a system
 Main constituents are classes and their
relationships:
 Generalization
 Aggregation
 Association
 Various kinds of dependencies

38
Class diagram
 Entities with common features, i.e.
attributes and operations
 Classes are represented as solid
outline rectangle with compartments
 Compartments for name, attributes &
operations
 Attribute and operation compartment
are optional for reuse purpose

Interaction diagram
 Models how groups of objects
collaborate to realize some behaviour

 Typically each interaction diagram

realizes behaviour of a single use case

47
Interaction diagram
 Two kinds: Sequence &
Collaboration

 Two diagrams are equivalent but

portrays different perspective

 These diagram play a very important

role in the design process

48
Sequence diagram
 Shows interaction among objects as two-
dimensional chart
 Objects are shown as boxes at top
 If object created during execution then
shown at appropriate place
 Objects existence are shown as
dashed lines (lifeline)
 Objects activeness, shown as
rectangle on lifeline

49
Sequence diagram
 Messages are shown as arrows
 Message labelled with message name
 Message can be labelled with control
information
 Two types of control information:
condition ([]) & an iteration (*)

Activity diagram
 New concept, possibly based on event
diagram of Odell [1992]

 Represent processing activity, may not

correspond to methods

 Activity is a state with an internal

action and one/many outgoing
transition

54
Activity diagram
 Can represent parallel activity and
synchronization aspects

 Swim lanes enable to group activities

based on who is performing them

 Example: academic department vs.

hostel

55
Activity diagram
 Normally employed in business process
modelling

 Carried out during requirement analysis

and specification

 Can be used to develop interaction

diagrams

State Chart diagram
 Based on the work of David Harel
[1990]

 Model how the state of an object

changes in its lifetime

 Based on finite state machine (FSM)

formalism

58
State Chart diagram
 Elements of state chart diagram
 Initial State: Filled circle
 Final State: Filled circle inside larger
circle
 State: Rectangle with rounded corners
 Transitions: Arrow between states,
also boolean logic condition (guard)

Component diagram

 A component represents a piece of

software that can be independently
purchased, upgraded, and integrated into
an existing software.
 A component diagram can be used to
represent the physical structure of an
implementation in terms of the various
components of the system.
61
 component diagram is typically used to
achieve the following purposes:
 • Organise source code to be able to
construct executable releases.
 • Specify dependencies among different
components.

62
63
 Deployment diagram
 The deployment diagram shows the environmental
view of a system.
 That is, it captures the environment in which the
software solution is implemented.
 In other words, a deployment diagram shows how a
software system will be physically deployed in the
hardware environment. That is, which component
will execute on which hardware component and
how they will they communicate with each other.

64
 The environmental view provided by the
deployment diagram is important for complex
and large software solutions that run on
hardware systems comprising multiple
components.
 In this case, deployment diagram provides an
overview of how the different components
are distributed among the different hardware
components of the system.

65
Deployment diagram for
library management system

66
 It has 4 nodes represented with boxes and components
within. Library Management System node has the
component several databases such as books, borrows,
and users.
 Then the librarian must be connected to the network
thru TCP/IP in order for them to access the system.
 Additionally, the software is connected to ISP that
enables it to pass data to the online server and then will
be accessed by the borrowers thru browsers with also
the help of URLs.
 Lastly, the Librarian and the Borrowers can communicate
with the use of ISP.

67
Design Patterns
 Standard solutions to commonly
recurring problems
 Provides a good solution to model
 Pattern has four important parts
 The problem
 The context (problem)
 The solution
 The context (solution)

68
Example Pattern
 Expert
 Problem: Which class should be
responsible for doing certain things
 Solution: Assign responsibility to the
class that has the information
necessary to fulfil the required
responsibility

69
Example Pattern
 Creator
 Problem: Which class should be
responsible for creating a new instance
of some class?
 Solution: Assign a class C1 the
responsibility to create class C2 if
 C1 is an aggregation of objects of
type C2
 C1 contains object of type C2

70
Example Pattern
 Controller
 Problem: Who should be responsible
for handling the actor requests?
 Solution: Separate controller object for
each use case.

71
Example Pattern
 Facade
 Problem: How should the services be
requested from a service package?
 Context (problem): A package
(cohesive set of classes), example:
RDBMS interface package
 Solution: A class (DBfacade) can be
created which provides a common
interface to the services of the package

72
Example 1: Tic-Tac-Toe
Computer Game
 A human player and the computer make
alternate moves on a 3 3 square.
 A move consists of marking a previously
unmarked square.
 The user inputs a number between 1
and 9 to mark a square
 Whoever is first to place three
consecutive marks along a straight line
(i.e., along a row, column, or diagonal)
on the square wins.
73
Example 1: Tic-Tac-Toe
Computer Game
 As soon as either of the human player or
the computer wins,
 a message announcing the winner should be
displayed.
 If neither player manages to get three
consecutive marks along a straight line,
 and all the squares on the board are filled up,
 then the game is drawn.
 The computer always tries to win a
game.

Example 2: Supermarket Prize
Scheme
 Supermarket needs to develop
software to encourage regular
customers.
 Customer needs to supply his
residence address, telephone
number, and the driving licence
number.
 Each customer who registers is
assigned a unique customer
number (CN) by the computer.
78
Example 2: Supermarket Prize
Scheme
 A customer can present his CN to
the staff when he makes any
purchase.
 The value of his purchase is
credited against his CN.
 At the end of each year, the
supermarket awards surprise gifts
to ten customers who make highest
purchase.
79
Example 2: Supermarket Prize
Scheme
 Also, it awards a 22 carat gold coin
to every customer whose purchases
exceed Rs. 10,000.
 The entries against the CN are reset
on the last day of every year after
the prize winner’s lists are
generated.
