The message of this book is simple. Software development should be done quickly and effectively. Systems that take years to develop can often end up out of synch. with their users' evolving requirements and business objectives by the time they are delivered. Requirements Engineering and Rapid Development shows how to solve the problem by using a systematic approach to requirements gathering and business modelling. This book is packed full of practical advice and tried and tested techniques for object modelling, illustrating how these techniques may be applied not only to models of computer systems, but to models of the world in which they have to operate. Ian Graham provides advice on how to run requirements workshops and presents a standard structure for requirements gathering, modelling and analysis, founded on an understanding of the project's mission and business objectives. Using a sequence of traceable, linked object models the final implementation may be continually checked against the specifications to ensure developers do not lose sight of the original goals. Anyone involved in the specification of modern computer systems should read this book. The approach taken in this book incorporates the OPEN rapid application development process and complies with the principles of DSDM.

Since the previous edition of this popular and comprehensive book was published, there have been massive changes in the field of object technology. This book has been fully revised and updated to reflect the newest technologies and methodologies, including extensive coverage of middleware, components, Java & UML. If you are a developer or manager needing to succeed with objects, this book will give you a full understanding of the key concepts, benefits and pitfalls - plus what technologies and tools are available and how to evaluate them. It offers invaluable insights into the philosophy and real-world practice of today' s leading object-oriented techniques and products.Major features of this edition: detailed chapter covering middleware and migration strategies chapter describing best practice for analysis and design, with in-depth focus on architecture and patterns plus a concise presentation of the Catalysis method for component based development revised coverage of requirements, featuring detailed description of the SOMA approach coverage of Java, in addition to other object-oriented programming languages Plus: *significantly revised coverage of object-oriented databases to address new and increasingly mature products *review of processes and project management including RUP and OPEN Process, and guidance on testing and UI design *new appendices summarizing the UML notation and background survey of 50 object oriented methods *self-test questions and model answers on accompanying web-site: www. trireme.com

Given that many commercial organizations have decided to adopt object technology, practitioners are faced with the problem of how to get from where they are now to where they want to be, and must often work out a migration strategy which will protect their existing investments. The prime objective of this book is to present such a strategy. It is based on research into literature on object technology, but more importantly, on the author's own research and practical involvement with organizations facing exactly this migration problem in the context of specific projects. The book also contains additional material continuing on from Object Oriented Methods and takes a more detailed look at SOMA method of object-oriented analysis. As a guide to good practice, it places a strong emphasis on standards, following the existing and projected standards of the Object Management Group where applicable, and recommending others in areas such as expert systems and HCI.

This book is a revision of Ian Graham's successful survey of the whole area of object technology. It covers object- oriented programming, object-oriented design, object- oriented analysis, object-oriented databases and treats several related technologies. New to this edition are more applications of object-oriented methods and more coverage of object-oriented database products available. Graham has also doubled the design and analysis material that examines over 60 different approaches - making this the most comprehensive book on the market. Also new is the foreword by Grady Booch.
