1. The OOA Process - II Scenarios

2. The Steps of OOA - Part 1 Identify classes (objects) Identify structures –Generalization (generalization-specialization, “ISA” relationship type) –Aggregation (whole – parts, “PART-OF” relationship type) –Association (relationship) Define attributes ===> Static Object diagram ===> incomplete Object Dictionary

3. The Steps of OOA - Part 2 Define services (operations) via scenarios –services per object –message passing between objects –coordination of message passing –states and transitions ===> Scenarios ===> complete Object Dictionary

4. OOA - Messages Form the dynamic portion of the object diagram (scenarios) Sent by –an object (instance) –via an active local service Received by –an object (instance) –triggering the receiving service label sender receiver

5. A Message’s “Life-Cycle” Connects to an object(object_id).service Triggers execution of the receiving service Carries input-parameters for the execution of the receiving service Is able to transmit output-parameters back to the sending service

6. Message Specification Scenarios (diagrams): –shown as bold or dotted line –labeled with the receiving service –parameters are optional –sequence number may be optional Object dictionary: –exist only as elements of an object’s services –specified as part of the service specifications

7. Syntax for Message Specification Typically similar to: SEND MESSAGE TO object (object_id).service (input-parameters, output-parameters) –object: name of an object class –service: name of a service in that object class –object_id: identifies selected instantiation ===> Complete Object Dictionary ===> Informal Scenarios Analysis

8. Programmer Division Department (2,N) (1,1) works-for (1,1)(3,N) The division wants to compile a list of the prg. languages “spoken” in its departments. list of prog-lang.

9. Programmer Division Department Alternative 1: Using output-parameters to get to the results. list prg-skills (wait for result) list prg-lang (wait for result) report prg-langs list prg-skillslist prg-lang

10. Programmer Division Department Alternative 2: Using separate messages to transmit results. list prg-skills (do not wait for result) list prg-lang (do not wait for result) accept prg-lang report prog-langs accept prg-lang list prg-skillslist prg-langs

11. OOA - Services Exist only as elements of an object/class Services model functionality: –data manipulation –control sequences –communication (using messages) –state transformation –interface handling

12. OOA - Services No separate graphical representation (part of the class and object symbols) Services can be –public or –private Specified in the object dictionary

13. Attributes and Services The data capsule principle –a service has access to all attributes of the local object –all services of an object share attributes as a global data area –a service provides access to attributes for other object.services (by accepting messages) –a service can have local variables

14. Services and Inheritance Services are inherited in a classification hierarchy Inheritance is mandatory Multiple inheritance is possible => Position common services as high in the classification hierarchy as possible => Generic services (service overlay / polymorphism)

16. Scenarios Show separate self-contained sequences (threads) of execution Typically include: –objects –messages –(services) –(attributes) Do usually not include –Structures Can be represented by different UML diagrams

18. OOAD - Modeling Differentiation between static and dynamic diagrams Usually –one static class diagram –multiple diagrams modeling system dynamics possibly with different notations to capture specific dynamics Everything is based on the common object dictionary –also called: model, class specifications,... –diagrams are only views (or projections) of this common dictionary –diagrams have to be compatible with the dictionary and each other Rememeber

19. Diagrams in UML Requirements Diagrams (Use-Cases, Scenarios) Class and Object diagrams – Static, structural view Classes & Objects Attributes Methods Structures –Association, Generalisation, Aggregation Behavioral diagrams- dynamic view –Collaboration Diagrams –Sequence Diagrams –Statechart Diagrams –Activity Diagrams Implementation diagrams –Component diagrams –Deployment diagrams ==> UML diagrams for representing “scenarios”

20. Sequence diagrams - example (1)

21. Sequence diagrams (1) A sequence diagram shows a subset of the possible interactions between objects in a system. –context sensitive “slicing“ of all possible interactions –a view on the dynamics of the system –focus on timing of interaction related operations can be deduced (less detail than in collaboration diagram) messages seen very much as events relations and attributes are not shown Alternatives are –collaboration diagrams, activity diagrams, use cases –all have specific focus and strength

22. Sequence diagrams (2) A sequence diagram is used to model –a snapshot of interactions (events) within a time-frame –a scenario, (partial) process or transaction The diagram includes –objects (instances) only objects involved in the scenario all objects only by name the “life-line” of an object: the dimension of time the “focus of control” (Steuerungsfokus): marks the active, controlling object –messages messages are seen very much like events parameters & conditions in messages are possible but unusual returns/responses to messages are usually modeled separately

23. life-line control focus message specification Sequence diagrams - notation (1) :obj2:obj1 msg_x ( ) response_x :obj3 msg_y ( ) response_y contstraint t1 t2 {t2 -t1 < delta}

24. self delegation :obj1 indirect recursion Sequence diagrams - notation (2) :obj2 msg_x ( ) response_x msg_y ( ) response_y

25. :obj1 Sequence diagrams - notation (3) :obj2 msg_x ( ) response_x new ( ) delete ( ) create and delete objects

26. :obj3 Sequence diagrams - notation (4) :obj2:obj1 [cond1] msg_x1 ( ) response_x1 msg_y ( ) response_y [cond2] msg_x2 ( ) response_x2 conditions and alternative life-lines

27. Sequence diagrams - message (event) specification message & parameters - name of the message - usually the name of the operation to be invoked in the receiving object - usually not the full signature of the operation (check there) - iteration can be modeled using * result - unusual; usually modeled using a separate arrow - name of the result delivered by the message condition - boolean expression - use with caution - if many conditions are necessary, switch to activity diagrams

28. Collaboration diagrams :OrderMgr :Component :Customer 1.1: pcPrice:=getPrice( ) :PersComp :Shopping Cart 1: offer:=makeOffer(cid, pcid) 1.2: getDiscountRate( pcPrice ) 1.1.1.*: getCost( ) askForOffer( ) 1.3: getNickname( ) :Order 1.4: createOrder( ) A collaboration diagram is used to model a snapshot of interactions between objects, forming a scenario.

29. Possible sequence diagram for the collaboration diagram on page 29 :OrderMgr :Component :Customer :PersComp :Shopping Cart :Order askForOffer() makeOffer(cid,pcid) getprice() *getcost() pcPrice getDiscountRate (pcPrice) getNickname createOrder() offer
