CS 5150 Software Engineering Lecture 15 Object Oriented Design 1 CS 5150 1 Administration Test 3 is next Monday The test will cover material from all classes since the beginning of the semester, including next Monday's class. CS 5150 2 Comments on Assignment 2: Schedules The schedule must provide time for: • User testing and revisions • Program and system testing • Revision and correction of problems discovered during testing • Deployment • Handover and acceptance testing CS 5150 3 User Testing Design Analyze requirements User testing ? Build If you have two testing cycles, you have eight activities to schedule. CS 5150 4 Architectural Style - Model/View/Controller Example: Control of a unmanned model aircraft Controller Model View Controller: Receives instrument readings from the aircraft and sends controls signals to the aircraft. Model: Translates data received from and sent to the aircraft, and instructions from the user into a model of flight performance. Uses domain knowledge about the aircraft and flight. View: Displays information about the aircraft to the user and transmits instructions to the model. CS 5150 5 Model/View/Controller: Autonomous Land Vehicle View Model Controller GPS Steer Sonar Model Laser Control signals Throttle Controls Sensors CS 5150 Signal processing 6 Model/View/Controller for Web Applications 1 User interacts with the user interface (e.g., presses a mouse button). 2 Controller handles input event from the user interface, (e.g., via a registered handler or callback) and converts the event into appropriate user action. 3 Controller notifies Model of user action, possibly resulting in a change in Model's state (e.g., update shopping cart.). 4 View interacts with Model to generate an appropriate user interface response (e.g., list shopping cart's contents). 5 User interface waits for further user interactions. from Wikipedia 10/18/2009 CS 5150 7 Model/View/Controller for Web Applications WebBrowser WebBrowser HTTP Controller CS 5150 Response Input events Model HTML View 8 Program Design in the Modified Waterfall Model Feasibility study Requirements Requirements System design Design Program design Implementation Implementation (coding) Testing Acceptance & release Operation & maintenance CS 5150 9 Program Design The task of program design is to represent the software system functions in a form that can be transformed into one or more executable programs. Given a system architecture, the program design specifies: • programs, components, packages, classes and class hierarchies • interfaces, protocols • algorithms, data structures, security mechanisms, operational procedures If the program design is done properly, all design decisions should be made before implementation. CS 5150 10 UML Models UML models (diagrams and specifications) can be used for almost all aspects of program design • Diagram gives a general overview of the model, showing the principal elements and how they relate to each other. A diagram is the graphical representation of a set of elements, usually rendered as a connected graph of vertices (things) and arcs (relationships). • Specification provides details about each element of the model. Specification for models used in program design should have sufficient detail that they can be used to write code from. CS 5150 11 Class Diagrams Window origin size open() close() move() display() name attributes [local, instance, and class (static) variables] operations [methods] responsibilities [optional text] A class is a description of a set of objects that share the same attributes, operations, relationships, and semantics. CS 5150 12 The "Hello, World!" Applet import java.awt.Graphics; class HelloWorld extends java.applet.Applet { public void paint (Graphics g) { g.drawString ("Hello, World!", 10, 10); } } Example from: BJR CS 5150 13 The HelloWorld Example class name HelloWorld operations paint() CS 5150 14 Abstraction for HelloWorld class name HelloWorld annotation operations paint() CS 5150 g.drawString ("HelloWorld", 0, 10)" 15 Annotation some text note A note is a symbol for rendering constraints and comments attached to an element or a collection of elements. CS 5150 16 Rational Rose: A Typical Class Diagram CS 5150 17 Specification CS 5150 18 Specification Fields CS 5150 19 General Specification Fields CS 5150 20 Notation: Relationships A dependency is a semantic relationship between two things in which a change to one may effect the semantics of the other. 0..1 employer * employee An association is a structural relationship that describes a set of links, a link being a connection among objects. CS 5150 21 Relationships ParkingLot 1 1 ... * ParkingSpace location is_available() CS 5150 22 Notation: Relationships (continued) child parent A generalization is a specialization/generalization relationship is which objects of the specialized element (child) are substitutable for objects of the generalized element (parent). A realization is a semantic relationship between classifiers, wherein one classifier specifies a contract that another classifier guarantees to carry out. CS 5150 23 Generalization Applet generalization Note that the Applet and Graphics classes are shown elided, i.e., just the name is shown, not the attributes or operations. HelloWorld paint() CS 5150 dependency Graphics 24 Notation: Interface ISpelling An interface is a collection of operations that specify a service of a class or component, i.e., the externally visible behavior of that element. CS 5150 25 Notation: Package Business rules A package is a general-purpose mechanism for organizing elements into groups. CS 5150 26 Packaging Classes java HelloWorld applet Graphics awt package lang CS 5150 27 Modeling Classes Given a real-life system, how do you decide what classes to use? • What terms do the users and implementers use to describe the system? They are candidates for classes. • Is each candidate class crisply defined? • For each class, what is its set of responsibilities? Are the responsibilities evenly balanced among the classes? • What attributes and operations does each class need to carry out its responsibilities? CS 5150 28 Candidate Classes: Application Classes and Solution Classes Step 1: Candidate classes • Application classes represent application concepts. Noun identification is an effective technique to generate candidate application classes. • Solution classes represent system concepts, e.g., user interface objects, databases, etc. CS 5150 29 Noun Identification for Application Classes: A Library Example The library contains books and journals. It may have several copies of a given book. Some of the books are reserved for short-term loans only. All others may be borrowed by any library member for three weeks. Members of the library can normally borrow up to six items at a time, but members of staff may borrow up to 12 items at one time. Only members of staff may borrow journals. The system must keep track of when books and journals are borrowed and returned and enforce the rules. CS 5150 30 Noun Identification: A Library Example The library contains books and journals.

They may need modification. Restructuring: Change the design to improve, understandability, maintainability, etc. Techniques include merging similar classes, splitting complex classes, etc. Optimization: Ensure that the system meets anticipated performance requirements, e.g., by changed algorithms or restructuring. Completion: Fill all gaps, specify interfaces, etc. CS 5150 36 Coupling and Cohesion Coupling is a measure of the dependencies between two part of a system. If two classes are strongly coupled, it is hard to modify one without modifying the other. Cohesion is a measure of dependencies within part of a system. If a class contains many closely related functions its cohesion is high. Aim for high cohesion within classes and weak coupling between them. CS 5150 37 Rough Sketch: Wholesale System Design is empirical and iterative. The following very artificial example, gives an idea of the process. Example A wholesale merchant supplies retail stores from stocks of goods in a warehouse. What classes would you use to model this business? CS 5150 38 Rough Sketch: Wholesale System RetailStore Order Merchant Product Warehouse Invoice CS 5150 Shipment 39 Rough Sketch: Wholesale System RetailStore name address contactInfo financialInfo Merchant Warehouse Order Product Reversal Invoice CS 5150 Shipment Responsibilities -track status of shipped products responsibility (text field) damaged() return() wrongItem() 40 Expanding a Class: Modeling Financial Information RetailStore association 1 * Transaction Which class is responsible for the financial records for a store? CS 5150 Payment Invoice 41 Modeling Invoice Shipment ??? RetailStore invoiceRecord goodsShipped Invoice invoiceNumber PartsList adornments +goodsShipped() + public -sendInvoice() - private CS 5150 42 Lessons Learned Design is empirical. There is no single correct design. During the design process: • Eliding: Elements are hidden to simplify the diagram • Incomplete: During the early part of the design process, elements may be missing. • Inconsistency: During the early part of the design process, the model may not be consistent The diagram is not the whole design. Diagrams must be backed up with specifications. CS 5150 43 An Exam Question: Object Oriented Design A system generates weather maps using data collected from unattended weather stations. Each weather station collects meteorological data and produces summaries of the data. On request, it sends the summary information to an area computer. The area computer uses a database of digitized maps to generate a set of local weather maps.
