  1. Decomposing the System Requirements  Specifications (Use cases)  Design --classes **entity **boundary **control --sequence diagrams --CRC cards **responsibilites **collaborators --state diagrams **conditional **iteration **(sequential)

  2. Example—bank simulation (Horstmann) Horstmann, Mastering Object-Oriented Design in C++, Wiley, 1995 Teller 1 Teller 2 Customer 3 Customer 2 Customer 1 Teller 3 Teller 4

  4. Design process (figure 6-2): We are here Nonfunctional requirements Analysis *: these include --use cases and scenarios --class (ER) diagrams --sequence diagrams --CRC cards --state diagrams * Dynamic model * Analysis object model System design Design goals— guide trade-offs Subsystem decomposition— teams of developers Object design Object design model

  5. Subsystem design: Important (measurable) properties of a set of subsystems: --coupling—how dependent are two subsystems on each other goal: as loose coupling as is reasonable --cohesion—how well do components of a subsystem fit together Basic subsystem relationships: --layered (hierarchical) --partitioned (peer-to-peer) Component types: --physical --logical

  6. Software architecture: defines, for example, system components global control flow how boundary conditions are handled how subsystems communicate with one another Several common architectures are widely used: --repository—central data structure example: database --model / view / controller model—domain knowledge; static view / controller—interface; modifiable example: interactive system --client / server example: information system + central database --peer-to-peer—generalized client / server deadlocks can occur, synchronization must be handled example: music sharing --three-tier—interface, application, data storage --four-tier—interface contains client and server --pipe and filter—subsystems process inputs, send results to other subsystems works well if there is no user intervention example: Unix shell

  7. System design: adding nonfunctional requirements, making tradeoffs Identifying subsystems Add design goals: --performance --dependability --cost --maintenance --end user criteria Make tradeoffs

  8. Adding nonfunctional design goals: • 1. Performance criteria • --response time (e.g., is system real-time?) • --throughput • --memory • Dependability criteria • --robustness--ability to survive invalid user input • --reliability--difference between specified, observed behavior • --availability--% of time system can be used for normal work • --fault tolerance--how well it operates under error conditions • --security--ability to withstand malicious attacks • --safety--ability to avoid endangering human lives even if there are errors and failures

  9. Adding nonfunctional design goals (continued): • Cost criteria • --development • --deployment • --upgrades • --maintenance • --administration • Maintenance criteria • --extensibility--ease of adding functionality, classes • --modifiability--ease of changing functionality • --adaptability--ease of porting to new application domains • --portability--ease of porting to different platforms • --readability--ease of understanding system by reading code • --traceability of requirements—ease of mapping code to • specific requirements

  10. Adding nonfunctional design goals (continued): • End-user criteria • utility—how well does system support user’s work? • usability—how easy is it for user to use the system?

  11. After design goals are identified and prioritized, tradeoffs can be studied Examples: Space versus speed Delivery time versus functionality Delivery time versus quality Delivery time versus staffing Speed versus cost (hardware versus software)

  12. Must also identify subsystems Some heuristics: --group objects in one use case into same subsystem --have a dedicated subsystem to move data between other subsystems --minimize the associations crossing system boundaries --make sure all objects in a given subsystem are functionally related
