Synopsis
Using UML is an introduction to the Unified Modeling Language for students learning about object- and component-based software design and development. It places UML in the context of the software engineering discipline as a whole, providing students with a practical understanding of good practice in software design and development. The authors present a broad view of the subject area, enabling students to see for themselves how different practices may be appropriate for different situations. The goal of the book is to encourage a pragmatic and open-minded approach to real-life software engineering. The book is divided into four parts containing introductory and more advanced chapters. Depending on their existing knowledge and experience, readers can follow different routes through the material (see preface for details). Part 1 introduces the concepts of software engineering and object-oriented development. Part 2 covers UML, the language. Part 3 consists of three case studies. Part 4 discusses issues which are important in putting the techniques taught in the book into practice in a quality- and reuse-conscious environment. Topics covered include patterns, testing, software project management, teamwork and quality assurance. The authors Dr Rob Pooley is Professor of Computer Science at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh. Dr Perdita Stevens lectures in the Computer Science department at the University of Edinburgh. The book is based on two courses they have developed and taught: an introduction to object-orientation and UML, and a more advanced course on software engineering with objects and components.

From the Back Cover
Using UMLis designed to help any developer master effective software design with UML. This new edition has been fully revised to reflect UML 1.3.Experienced modeling language instructors Perdita Stevens and Rob Pooley focus on superior design techniques, comparing the available methodologies and offering advice on when to use each. They begin by describing the software process and lifecycle, and explaining how object-orientation and component-based engineering affect the design process. Next, they review each key UML 1.3 feature, including patterns, components, concurrency, types, and more.Using UML, Revised Editioncontains extensive case studies of real-life design, including real-time systems, data-oriented, and component-based designs. The book also contains a full section addressing the wider issues related to software design, including quality, testing, and organizational management. (Previous Edition: 0-201-36067-5.)For every developer interested in mastering UML.
About the Author
Dr Rob Pooley is Professor of Computer Science at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh.
Dr. Perdita Stevens is a Lecturer/Research Fellow in Computer Science at the University of Edinburgh. She has recent industrial experience of OO development, mostly using Booch's method. In addition to her Edinburgh lecturing experience, she tutored the Open University course "Object-Oriented Software Technology" (based on Rumbaugh's OMT) for several years, gaining insight into how students learn to use a modelling language.
