Here is the first book to introduce Catalysis, a next-generation method for constructing open component systems from frameworks, based on UML and OMG standards. Using Catalysis, programmers have the ability to describe a complex system based on content perspectives or views. Each view defines a pattern with supporting models. Catalysis provides well-defined consistency rules across models and the mechanisms for composing views. .
Provides an overview of the Unified Process for software development, with a practical focus on modeling using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). This book demonstrates how the notation and process complement one another, using UML models to illustrate the new process in action. It describes the constructs such as use cases, actors, and more.
This book is the concise, 'distilled' introduction that developers of real-time systems need to begin the transition to object-oriented analysis and design and modeling with UML. The book includes special in-depth discussions of finite state machines, object identification strategies, and real-time design patterns to help beginning and experienced developers alike.
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has rapidly become the standard notation for modeling software-intensive systems. This book provides the definitive description of UML from its original developers - James Rumbaugh, Ivar Jacobson, and Grady Booch. Whether you are capturing requirements, developing a software architecture, designing the implementation, or trying to understand an existing system, this is the book for you.
How can software developers, programmers and managers meet the challenges of the 90s and begin to resolve the software crisis? This book is based on Objectory which is the first commercially available comprehensive object-oriented process for developing large-scale industrial systems. Ivar Jacobson developed Objectory as a result of 20 years of experience building real software-based products. The approach takes a global view of system development and focuses on minimizing the system's life cycle cost. Objectory is an extensible industrial process that provides a method for building large industrial systems. This revised printing has been completely updated to make it as accessible and complete as possible. New material includes the revised Testing chapter, in which new product developments are discussed.
Two leading experts on requirements management demonstrate how to define exactly what software systems should do in terms that can be implemented and won't have to be redone later. Coverage includes: analyzing problems, defining systems, building and validating systems, and more.

Introducing the reuse-driven software engineering business; Architectural style; Processes; Organizing a reuse business.
This work on UML - created by OO technology experts, Booch, Rumbaugh and Jacobson - offers detailed and practical guidance to the UML notation in the context of real world software development.The book also offers useful summaries of UML notation on the back and the front covers.
Models, Patterns, and Tools
Mission-critical and business-critical applications increasingly rely on object-oriented (OO) software, necessitating tailored testing techniques for high reliability and quality. This authoritative guide focuses on designing and automating test suites for OO applications, emphasizing the importance of model-based testing. It details techniques for developing testable models using state machines, combinational logic, and the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The book introduces the test design pattern and presents 37 patterns that guide the creation of responsibility-based test suites, integration, and regression testing for OO code, as well as effective testing of reusable components and frameworks. Automation is crucial, and the author explains how to design specification-based assertions to mitigate testability issues arising from inheritance and polymorphism. Fifteen micro-patterns offer practical oracle strategies for test design challenges, while seventeen design patterns illustrate how to automate test suites within a coherent OO test harness framework. Key topics include OO programming bug hazards, designing tests for classes and subsystems, supporting reuse through effective testing, integration strategies for iterative development, comprehensive system testing with use cases, regression test approaches, and automating testing with assertions and test frameworks. Real-world examples cover test design and automation for
Business Process Reengineering With Object Technology
From the author of the bestselling Object-Oriented Software Engineering, this is the first book to combine object-oriented technology and business process engineering. Jacobson demonstrates how object technology can be used in the BPR model, how the requirements of a new software system can be captured as a result of business engineering, and much more.
