Are you a software developer or project manager looking to exploit the power of object technology in your development process for the first time? Do you need a practical, example-driven introduction to object-oriented analysis and design? If so, look no further. This book explains the benefits of using the object-oriented approach for software development as well as providing a state-of-the-art account of the technology available. Employing numerous real-life examples to illustrate its application, the use of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) in object-oriented analysis and design is explained systematically by an experienced practitioner. New to the second edition of Developing Software with UML: • all chapters comprehensively updated • contains two new chapters on analysis and design • fully compliant with UML 1.4 • offers solutions to problems that cannot be solved by UML alone.
