Analysis classes elicitation : The system logic

- Controls and coordinates the behavior Delegates the work to other classes Decouples interface and data classes

Aggregation test questions

(Move the car, move the door) - Are some attribute values propagated from the whole to all or some of its parts (The car is blue, therefore the door is blue) - Is there an intrinsic asymmetry to the relationship where one class is subordinate to the other (A door is part of a car. A car is not part of a door)

Design problems

- Tell several objects that the state of some other object has changed (Observer pattern). - Tidy up the interfaces to a number of related objects that have often been developed incrementally (Façade pattern). - Provide a standard way of accessing the elements in a collection, irrespective of how that collection is implemented (Iterator pattern). - Allow for the possibility of extending the functionality of an existing class at run-time (Decorator pattern).

What is a difficult part of object oriented design

Identifying object classes

Disadvantages of using layered architecture patterns?

In practice, providing a clean separation between layers is often difficult and a high-level layer may have to interact directly with lower-level layers rather than through the layer immediately below it. Performance can be a problem because of multiple levels of interpretation of a service request as it is processed at each layer.

The observer pattern: Solution description

Involves 2 abstract objects: Subject and observer. ConcreteSubject and concreteObject, which inherit the attributes of the related abstract objects. The abstract objects include general operations that are applicable in all situations. The state to be displayed is maintained in concreteSubject, which inherits operations from subject allowing it to add and remove observers (each observer corresponds to a display) and to issue a notification when the state has changed The concreteObserver maintains a copy of the state of ConcreteSubject and implements the Update() interface of observer that allows these copies to be kept in step. The concreteObserver automatically displays the state and reflects changes whenever the state is updated.

Reuse Most modern software is constructed by reusing existing components or systems. When you are developing software, you should make as much use as possible of existing code. Configuration management During the development process, you have to keep track of the many different versions of each software component in a configuration management system. Host-target development Production software does not usually execute on the same computer as the software development environment. Rather, you develop it on one computer (the host system) and execute it on a separate computer (the target system).
