Booktwo of Object-Oriented Knowledge : The Working Object

This work provides details of object technology for managers and software engineers whose focus is on methods, procedures and management rather than on coding. From its introductory chapter on the nature of OOSE, through to project management, metrics and migration strategies, The Working Object provides a comprehensive discussion of software development using an object-orientated approach.

Designed for technical managers and software engineers whose focus is on methods, procedures, and management -- rather than on coding -- this comprehensive discussion of software development using an Object-Oriented approach describes, in detail, a second generation, full life-cycle Object- Oriented methodology (MOSES) -- taking the developer from the initial user requirements and business planning through to implementation, testing, maintenance, and future enhancements. It covers the object-oriented paradigm; object-oriented development; MOSES notation; MOSES product and process lifecycles; MOSES lifecycle activities; a case study using MOSES; project management and commercial adoption of OOSE; and object-oriented "metrics."
