Description
This book gathers together and synthesizes all that is best and correct in object-oriented technology - emphasizing such areas as CASE tools, reuse, project management, metrics, configuration. The text explains why some organizations are consciously choosing not to implement OO software methodologies, and discusses a number of "management" issues associated with the OO paradigm. It also considers the broad area of object-oriented analysis (OOA) and explains CASE technology for OO methodologies and surveys of some of the more popular products in the marketplace.
