Find Classes from Use-Case Behavior The complete behavior of a use case has to be

distributed to analysis classes

12

What Is an Analysis Class?

13

What Is a Boundary Class? Intermediates between the interface and

something outside the system Several Types

User interface classes System interface classes Device interface classes

One boundary class per actor/use-case pair

Environment Independent

14

The Role of a Boundary Class

Model interaction between the system and its environment

<<control>><<boundary>>

<<entity>> <<entity>>

External Database

15

Example: Finding Boundary Classes One boundary class per actor/use case pair

16

Guidelines: Boundary Class User Interface Classes

Concentrate on what information is presented to the user Do NOT concentrate on the UI details

System and Device Interface Classes Concentrate on what protocols must be defined Do NOT concentrate on how the protocols will be

implemented

Concentrate on the responsibilities, not the details!

17

What Is an Entity Class? Key abstractions of the system

Environment Independent

18

The Role of an Entity Class

Store and manage information in the system

19

Example: Finding Entity Classes

Use use-case flow of events as input Key abstractions of the use case Traditional, filtering nouns approach

Underline noun clauses in the use-case flow of events Remove redundant candidates Remove vague candidates Remove actors (out of scope) Remove implementation constructs Remove attributes (save for later) Remove operations

20

Example: Candidate Entity Classes Register for Courses (Create Schedule)

1. Hệ thống lấy danh sách học phần có mở trong học kỳ từ hệ thống Course Catalog System và thể hiện dưới dạng danh sách cho sinh viên chọn.

2. Sinh viên chọn 4 học phần bắt buộc và hai học phần tự chọn từ danh sách trên.

3. Sau khi sinh viên chọn, hệ thống tạo một lịch học chứa những học phần sinh viên đã đăng ký.

4. Sinh viên kiểm tra và xác nhận lịch học, Submit Schedule được thực thi.

21

What Is a Control Class? Use-case behavior coordinator

More complex use cases generally require one or more control classes

Use-case dependent, Environment independent

22

The Role of a Control Class

Coordinate the use-case behavior

23

Example: Finding Control Classes In general, identify one control class per use case.

As analysis continues, a complex use case’s control class may evolve into more than one class

26

Distribute Use-Case Behavior to Classes For each use-case flow of events:

Identify analysis classes Allocate use-case responsibilities to analysis classes Model analysis class interactions in Interaction diagrams

27

Guidelines: Allocating Responsibilities to ClassesUse analysis class stereotypes as a guide Boundary Classes

Behavior that involves communication with an actor

Entity Classes Behavior that involves the data encapsulated within the

abstraction

Control Classes Behavior specific to a use case or part of a very important

flow of events

28

Allocating Responsibilities to Classes (cont.)

Who has the data needed to perform the responsibility?

If one class has the data, put the responsibility with the data

If multiple classes have the data: Put the responsibility with one class and add a relationship

to the other Create a new class, put the responsibility in the new class,

and add relationships to classes needed to perform the responsibility

Put the responsibility in the control class, and add relationships to classes needed to perform the responsibility

29

Objects Collaborate Objects are useless unless they can collaborate to

solve a problem. Each object is responsible for its own behavior and status. No one object can carry out every responsibility on its own.

How do objects interact with each other? They interact through messages.

30

Objects Interact with Messages A message shows how one object asks another

object to perform some activity.

: Car buyer:RegistrationController :CourseCatalogSystem

getCourseOfferings(forSemester)

Message

31

Interaction Diagrams Generic term that applies to several diagrams that

emphasize object interactions Sequence Diagram

Time oriented view of object interaction

Communication Diagram(or Collaboration Diagram) Structural view of messaging objects

Communication Diagrams

Sequence Diagrams

32

What Is a Sequence Diagram? A sequence diagram is an interaction diagram that

emphasizes the time ordering of messages. The diagram shows:

The objects participating in the interaction. The sequence of messages exchanged.

What Is a Communication Diagram? A communication diagram emphasizes the

organization of the objects that participate in an interaction.

The communication diagram shows: The objects participating in the interaction. Links between the objects. Messages passed between the objects.

One Interaction Diagram Is Not Good Enough

Semantically equivalent Can convert one diagram to the other without losing any

information

Model the dynamic aspects of a system Model a use-case scenario

Sequence and Communication Diagram Similarities

54

Communication

Diagrams Show relationships in

addition to interactions Better for visualizing

patterns of collaboration Better for visualizing all

of the effects on a given object

Easier to use for brainstorming sessions

Sequence Diagrams

Show the explicit sequence of messages

Better for visualizing overall flow

Better for real-time specifications and for complex scenarios

Aggregation and Composition Super-Sub classes

Review: What Is Aggregation? A special form of association that models a whole-

part relationship between an aggregate (the whole) and its parts “is a part-of” relationship

66

Association or Aggregation? If two objects are tightly bound by a whole-part

relationship The relationship is an aggregation.

If two objects are usually considered as independent, although they are often linked The relationship is an association.

When in doubt use association

67

Nhận diện AggregationBốn ngữ nghĩa có thể của Aggregation Sở hữu độc quyền (Exclusive Owns): Order has Order

Line Có sự phụ thuộc tồn tại (không có Order Line nếu không có Order) Không chia sẻ Là thuộc tính cố định (một Order Line không thể chuyển sang Order khác)

Sở hữu (Owns): Car has Tire Không chia sẻ Không là thuộc tính cố định (có thể chuyển tire sang một car khác)

Có (Has): Department has Student Không có sự phụ thuộc tồn tại, co thể chia sẻ.

Thành viên (Member): Meeting has Chairperson Không có đặc trưng gì đặc biệt ngoại trừ là tư cách thành viên

68

Composition and Aggregation Aggregation cơ bản là bất kỳ quan hệ whole–part

Ngữ nghĩa có thể rất mơ hồ Tương ứng với ngữ nghĩa "Has" và "Member". Một đối tượng thành phần (part) có thể thuộc nhiều hơn

một đối tượng bao gồm (whole)

Composition là Aggregation mạnh hơn Tại một thời điểm, mỗi đối tượng thành phần (part) chỉ có

thể thuộc chỉ một đối tượng bao gồm (whole). Có sự phụ thuộc tồn tại từ "part" vào "whole"

Khi đối tượng "whole" bị hủy thì các "part" cũng bị hủy Tương ứng với ngữ nghĩa "ExclusiveOwns" và "Owns"

69

Aggregation and Composition

Quan hệ m*n có thể chấp nhận

Quan hệ m*n không được phép

Review: What Is Generalization? A relationship among classes where one class

shares the structure and/or behavior of one or more classes.

Defines a hierarchy of abstractions where a subclass inherits from one or more superclasses. Single inheritance Multiple inheritance

Is an “is a kind of” relationship.

71

Example: Single Inheritance One class inherits from another.

Review: Why Use Analysis Mechanisms?

Analysis mechanisms are used during analysis to reduce the complexity of analysis, and to improve its consistency by providing designers with a shorthand representation for complex behavior.

75

Describing Analysis Mechanisms Collect all analysis mechanisms in a list Draw a map of the client classes to the analysis

mechanisms Identify characteristics of the analysis mechanisms

77

Analysis mechanism characteristics Persistency for Schedule class:

Granularity: 1 to 10 Kbytes per product Volume: up to 2,000 schedules Access frequency

Create: 500 per day Read: 2,000 access per hour Update: 1,000 per day Delete: 50 per day

Unify Analysis ClassesCheckpoints

82

Are the classes reasonable? Does the name of each class clearly

reflect the role it plays? Does the class represent a single

well-defined abstraction? Are all attributes and responsibilities functionally

coupled? Does the class offer the required behavior? Are all specific requirements on the class

addressed?

Checkpoints: Analysis Classes

83

Have all the main and/or sub-flowsbeen handled, including exceptional cases?

Have all the required objects been found?

Has all behavior been unambiguously distributed to the participating objects?

Has behavior been distributed to the right objects?

Where there are several Interaction diagrams, are their relationships clear and consistent?

Checkpoints: Use-Case Realizations

84

Review: Use-Case Analysis What is the purpose of Use-Case Analysis? What is an analysis class? Name and describe the

three analysis stereotypes. What is a Use-Case Realization? Describe some considerations when allocating

responsibilities to analysis classes. How many Interaction diagrams should be

produced during Use-Case Analysis?

85

Exercise: Use-Case Analysis Given the following: Use-Case Model, especially the use-case flows of

events Key abstractions/classes The Supplementary Specification The possible analysis mechanisms

86

Exercise: Use-Case Analysis (cont.) Identify the following for a particular use case: The analysis classes, along with their:

Brief descriptions Stereotypes Responsibilities

The collaborations needed to implement the use case

Analysis class attributes and relationships Analysis class analysis mechanisms

87

Exercise: Use-Case Analysis (cont.) Produce the following for a particular use case: Use-Case Realization Interaction diagram for at

least one of the usecase flows of events VOPC class diagram, containing the analysis

classes, their stereotypes, responsibilities, attributes, and relationships

Analysis class to analysis mechanism map

88

Exercise: Use-Case Analysis (cont.) Start with diagramming the basic flow and then do the

other sub-flows if you have time. The Interaction diagrams may be collaboration or

Sequence diagrams. On an Interaction diagram, sending a message to an object means that you are allocating responsibility for performing that task to the object.

Be sure to use the “//” naming convention for responsibilities.
