• Detailed coverage of user interface design, implementation, and testing

A robust, end-to-end process for any object-based software project!

Today, IT professionals have no shortage of object methodologies and models to choose from. But when it comes to practical processes for implementing them-where to start, what to do next—they're on their own. In The Object-Oriented Development Process, Tom Rowlett fills the gap, presenting a robust, start-to-finish process for delivering object-oriented software. Rowlett identifies six key characteristics of a robust, use-case-based process, and offers expert process recommendations for every key activity:

1. Requirements gathering
2. Test planning
3. Analysis and application specification
4. User interface design
5. User interface implementation and test
6. Test case design and development

1. Use case design
2. Class design
3. Use case and class implementation
4. Use case test
5. Interface and application integration

Rowlett presents several case studies, including a detailed, step-by-step case study that covers everything from requirements gathering to deployment. You'll not only discover where to start, you'll learn which shortcuts you can take without compromising your effectiveness—and how to build on the development and modeling skills you already have.

If you're responsible for delivering high-quality object-oriented software-on time and on budget—The Object-Oriented Development Process is the roadmap you've been searching for.
