Lesson 11:Dealing With Legacy Systems Software Engineering II
Lesson Objectives • Understand how to reuse non-OO software • Learn how to encapsulate non-OO code • Recognize required language features • Learn how to develop object-oriented encapsulations of non-OO code • Learn how to manage dual documentation
LANGUAGE INTERFACING RULES • Language interface must maintain OO structure • No data coupling • Well defined interfaces • Information Hiding • Object-Oriented language should be main part of program • Helps keep as many OO features as possible • Maximum benefit of maintainability and extensibility
RULES TO ENCAPSULATE HERITAGE CODE INTO OBJECTS • Look for clean interfaces • If necessary, create “messages” to pass data - no data coupling allowed
REUSING NON-OO SOFTWARE SUMMARY • Non-OO software can be reused within OO systems • Non-OO software must be completely encapsulated • OO notation can be developed for encapsulated heritage software • OO documentation can be developed using the encapsulation
