SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE (SDLC) • Planning • Feasibility Study (optional) • Requirements Determination • Conceptual Design • Physical Design • Construction and/or Purchase (prototype) • Training • Conversion - old to new • Implementation • Evolution - maintenance & enhancements Analysis Design
METHODOLOGY OVERVIEW • Methodology defined: The way something gets done. The strategy, steps, directions, or actions. • Methodologies can be: • purchased • created • combination of both • Thousands available for developing information systems
METHODOLOGY OVERVIEW • Classifications of Methodologies • Traditional • Structured Analysis and Design • Information Modeling/Engineering • Object-Oriented • Prototyping is a technique - (some say that it is a methodology)
The Traditional Methodology (1950s - now) • Applicable for small teams on small projects • Functional perspective of problem domain • Informal, unstructured, unrepeatable, unmeasurable, ad-hoc way • Tools used to support it are okay
Traditional Methodology Tools -----------TECHNIQUES & TOOLS REPRESENTING----------- System Data Communication Process Flows with users Logic Forms, Layouts, Grid Charts English Narrative, Playscript, Program Flowcharts, HIPO Charts System Flowcharts Interviews
Structured Analysis and Design Methodology (mid-1970s - now) • Data Flow methodology (synonym) • Compliments Structured Programming • Very popular - perhaps the leading one • Can be repeatable, measurable, & automated • CASE brought significant assistance • 1) Yourdon, and 2) Gane & Sarson • Functional perspective of problem domain • Describes the real world as data flowing through the information system, being transformed from inputs to outputs

Information Modeling Methodology (early-1980s - now) • Data modeling & information engineering (synonyms) • Describes the real world by its data, the data’s attributes, and the data relationships • Can be repeatable, measurable, and automated • Data perspective of the problem domain
Information Modeling Methodology Tools -----------TECHNIQUES & TOOLS REPRESENTING----------- System Data Communication Process Flows with users Logic Interviews, User Reviews, JAD Sessions, Brainstorming Business Systems Design Business Area Analysis, Process Model Business Area Analysis, Entity- Relationship Diagrams
Object-Oriented Methodology (mid/late-1980s - now) • Object modeling • Compliments object-oriented programming • Can be repeatable, measurable, & automated • Object perspective of the problem domain • Describes the real world by its objects, the attributes, services, and relationships • Data & functions are encapsulated together

Object-Oriented Methodology • Revolutionary or Evolutionary? • Most difficult aspect is the transition some people have to make from a functional or data problem solving strategy to an object problem solving strategy. Some people must change from a “function think” or “data think” to an “object think” strategy.
Object Technology Principles • Abstraction • Encapsulation (Information Hiding) • Inheritance • Message Communication • Associations • Polymorphism • Common Methods of Organization • Reuse
Abstraction A mental ability that permits people to view real-world problem domains with varying degrees of detail depending on the current context of the problem. • Helps people to think about what they are doing • Functional and Data abstraction
cake • Encapsulation (Information Hiding) A technique in which data are packaged together with their corresponding procedures. • In Object-Oriented Technology the “package” is called an OBJECT • The interface to each object is defined in such a way as to reveal as little as possible about its inner workings • Encapsulation allows [software] changes to be reliably made with limited effort [Gannon, Hamlet, & Mills, 1987] One cake please! Ingredients 2 eggs 4 cups flour 1 cup milk 1 cup sugar etc....... Directions Pre-heat oven to 350; Put milk, eggs, and sugar in 2 quart mixing bowl...
Inheritance A mechanism for expressing similarity between things thus simplifying their definition. Inheritance Person Student Faculty Staff • looks • behavior • attitudes • etc...
Message Communication Objects communicate via messages OBJECT OBJECT OBJECT OBJECT
Associations The union or connection of ideas or things. (Objects need to interact with each other) • same point in time • under similar circumstances crime scene #2 crime scene #1 Advertisement #2 Advertisement #1 Billing Statement crime scene #n
Polymorphism (“many forms”) • The ability to hide different implementations behind a common interface. • The ability for two or more objects to respond to the same request, each in its own way. • H O = water, ice, steam (liquid, solid, vapor) • Eating 2 Door #1 #2 #3 Door #1 Door #2 Door #3 versus
Polymorphism • Two examples PRINT TEXT object PRINT GRAPH object PRINT IMAGE object PO object = add a line item to the PO Add Object #1 = increase $ Amount Balance Account object Object #2 Add Department object = hire a new employee Object #3 Add
O-O Systems Analysis & Design Methodology Classification Theory (Common Methods of Organization) • Objects and their characteristics • Wholes and Parts • Groups (Classes) and Members
Common Methods of Organization People are accustomed to thinking in terms of... Objects & Attributes • color • price • weight • engine • options... Wholes and Parts Groups & Members • number of doors • number of wheels • number of windows • number of lights • number of bolt type 1 • number of bolt type 2 • etc.... • VANS: • light utility • utility • passenger • etc...
Reuse The ability to reuse objects • Varying Degrees of Reuse: • complete or sharing • copy, purchase or cloning • partial or adjusting • none • Software: • “Chips” • Components • Controls • Models
Reuse Software Reuse Costs and Payoffs Orenstein, D. “Code reuse: Reality doesn’t match promise”, Computerworld, August 24, 1998, page 8. • Components must be reused three to five times before the costs of creating and supporting them are recovered • It costs one and a half to three times as much to create and support a single reusable component as to create a component for just one use • It costs 25% as much to use a reusable component as it does to create a new one • It takes two to three product cycles (about three years) before the benefits of reuse become significant

O-O Systems Analysis & Design Methodology Coad’s Object-Oriented Systems Analysis & Design Methodology* * formerly, Coad and Yourdon * based on Coad, P., North, D., and Mayfield M., Object Models: Strategies, Patterns, and Applications, Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 1995.
Coad’s Object-Oriented Methodology Standard Sequence • Use four object model components (Problem Domain [PD], • Human Interaction [HI], Data Management [DM], and • System Interaction [SI]) to guide and organize the work. • For each of PD, HI, DM, and SI repeat the following: • 1. Identify the information system’s purpose and features • 2. Select the model component’s objects and organize • them by applying patterns • 3. Establish responsibilities for model component’s • objects: • what the object knows • who the object knows • what the object does • 4. Work out model component’s dynamics using scenarios Variation notes for activities 2, 3 and 4: 1. They may be done in any sequence that is appropriate 2. One or more of them may be omitted 3. One or more of them may be done in parallel 4. Model components may be done in any order that is appropriate

Spiral View of Coad’s Methodology Identify Purpose and Features Identify objects and patterns System Interaction Data Management Human Interaction Problem Domain (SI) (DM) (HI) (PD) Define service scenarios Establish object responsibilities
Coad’s Object Model Components Information System Human Interaction Problem Domain Data Management System Interaction Note: PD, HI, and SI are similar to Smalltalk programming language concept called Model-View-Controller (MVC)
Model Components • Problem domain -- directly correspond to the problem being modeled • Human interaction -- provide interface between the PD objects and people • Data management -- provide interface between PD objects and a database or file management system • System interaction -- provide interface between PD objects and other systems or devices
