Chapter 7

Object Design

Oct. 16, 2003 CS 509 - WPI 6

Object Design

Focus: Individual objects & hierarchies Interfaces

Challenges: Increasing reuse wherever possible Eliminating as many dependencies as

possible Optimizations to address performance

criteria such as response time or memory usage

Oct. 16, 2003 CS 509 - WPI 7

Object Design Activities

Refine analysis & system design models

Identify new objectsClose the gap between application

objects and off-the-shelf components: Identify custom objects Adjust of off-the-shelf components Specify interfaces between classes

Oct. 16, 2003 CS 509 - WPI 8

Service Specification

Specify subsystem services identified during system design: Class interfaces Operations, arguments Type signatures Exceptions

Find missing operations and objects

Oct. 16, 2003 CS 509 - WPI 9

Component Selection

Find, adapt and use off-the-shelf components

Class libraries & 3rd party packages Data structures Services

May need to adjust: Wrap with custom objects Refine using inheritance

Buy vs. build trade-offs

Oct. 16, 2003 CS 509 - WPI 10

Restructuring

Manipulate system model to increase code reuse or meet other design goals Maintainability, readability,

understandabilityMerge similar classesCollapse simple classes into attributesSplit complex classes into simpler

onesRearrange classes & operations to

increase inheritance relationships

Oct. 16, 2003 CS 509 - WPI 11

Optimization

Address performance requirements: Algorithms to improve speed or memory

usage Reduce multiplicity to speed up queries Add redundancy for efficiency Add derived attributes to improve access

time Rearrange execution order Open up a “closed” architecture for

performance improvements

Managing Object Design

Increased communication complexity Result of collaboration among many people Scope of project grows

Consistency with prior information Revisit analysis & system design decisions Keep project & design goals in mind Maintain change history Ensure documents reflect current state

Preview of Chapter 9

Testing“The software is done.

We are just trying to get it to work.”

Oct. 16, 2003 CS 509 - WPI 21

Opposing Goals of Testing

To ensure/demonstrate proper functioning

To “break” the system, find defects

What constitutes success/failure in each of the above approaches?

Which approach is easier? (Possible?)

Oct. 16, 2003 CS 509 - WPI 22

Quality Assurance Techniques

Fault Avoidance Development processes & methodologies Throughout analysis, design &

implementationFault Detection

Testing & debugging After code has been written

Fault Tolerance Recovery from failures Post-delivery, run-time activities

Oct. 16, 2003 CS 509 - WPI 23

Types of tests – Part 1

Unit tests Find faults in an individual object

Integration tests Find faults in a subsystem Multiple objects working together

System tests Further integration, all components

together

Oct. 16, 2003 CS 509 - WPI 24

Types of tests – Part 2

Functional testing Conformance to functional requirements

Performance testing Conformance to non-functional

requirementsAcceptance & installation testing

Done by client, with support by developers
