Introduction

I An object-oriented system is composed of objectssending messages to other objects.

I The quality of the overall design depends on whichobject is doing what.

I That is, the quality depends on how we assignresponsibilities to the objects.

I Problem: Define “good quality”.

I Consider the following alternative design of therecycling machine.

I A class responsible for printing and holding the data ofbottle and crate.

I The can class is also responsible for customer input andcomputing the sum.

I One more class doing all the rest of the tasks.

I Is this a good design?

GRASP - patterns

I GRASP stands for General Responsibility AssignmentSoftware Patterns.

I GRASP can be used when designing interaction(sequence) diagrams and class diagrams.

I GRASP try to formalize “common sense” in objectoriented design.

I They do not usually contain “new” ideas. They try tocodify existing knowledge and principles.

GRASP - patterns for responsibilitiesCREATOR: Problem

I Who should be responsible for creating a new instanceof some classes?

I The creation of objects is one of the most commonactivities in OO systems.

I It is useful to have a general principle for theassignment of responsibilities.

I Assigned well, the design can support low coupling,increased clarity, encapsulation, and resusability.

GRASP - patterns for responsibilitiesCREATOR: Solution

I Assign class B the responisbility to creat an instance ofclass A if one of these is true:

I B aggregates A.I B contains A.I B records instances of A objects.I B closely uses A objects.I B has the initializing data that will be passed to A when

it is created.

I B is a creator of A objects

I if more than one option applied, usually chose“aggregates or contains”

I The creation of objects is one of the most commonactivities in an object-oriented system.

I This pattern is useful to find out who should beresponsible for creating objects.

I The last point (B has initializing data of A) is actuallyan example of the Expert pattern (B is an expert withrespect to creating A).

I In an Aggregation the lifetime of the part is usually thesame as the lifetime of the whole. So the idea that thewhole creates the part is straightforward.

you ask for an appointment? The cleaner, thereceptionist, or the doctor?

I How to support low dependency, low change impact,and increased reuse?

I Coupling:I measurement of how strongly one element is connected

to, has knowledge of, or relies on another.I A class with high coupling relies on many other classes,

and may suffer from the following:

I forced local changes because of changes in relatedclasses

I harder to understand in isolationI harder to reuse because its use requires the additional

presence of the classes on which it is dependent.

I Low Coupling is an evaluative pattern which a designerapplies while evaluating all design decisions.

I Coupling happens in the same forms as visibility: local,global, as a parameter, as an attribute.

I A subclass is strongly coupled to its superclass, sosubclassing needs to be considered with care!

I Low Coupling supports reuseability, so classes which areinherently very generic in nature should have especiallylow coupling.

increased.I Maintenance and enhancements are simplified.I Low coupling is often supported.

I Rule of thumb:I A class with high cohesion has a relatively small number

of methods, with highly related functionality, and doesnot too much work.

I Integration testingI earlier than traditional cases because objects and classes

communicate with one another.I Integration testing is any type of software testing that

seeks to verify the interfaces between componentsagainst a software design. Normally integrated in aniterative way, allows interface issues to be localised morequickly and fixed.

I Integration testing works to expose defects in theinterfaces and interaction between integratedcomponents. Progressively larger groups of testedsoftware components corresponding to elements of thearchitectural design are integrated and tested until thesoftware works as a system.

I Functional decomposition - in function-orientedprogramming, a function is broken down intosub-functions and further into sub-sub-functions andsmall pieces of programs are developed to implementthese sub-sub-functions. (Note: operations and data areseparate.)

I It looks like that we can use this idea to break down ause case into sub- or even sub-sub-cases. However, theseparation of operation and data does not satisfyOOP’s theme.
