(More customer reviews)All of the different jobs found in software development are learned in two ways. Either through trial and error on the job or by working through examples. The first is the most effective, but by far the most expensive. While the second is less thorough, it is cheaper and reduces the cost when you make the inevitable move to the first. Since object modeling is always open to many differing interpretations, learning how to create and use them has a slow learning curve. The best approach to learning how to model objects is to find and plow through detailed, complete examples, which of course presupposes that such examples exist. Well, they do and some of the best are found in this book.
The approach is one that maximizes the teaching effectiveness. An Internet bookstore project is created from the beginning. It is large enough to be instructive yet not so large that it becomes unwieldy. The authors then take you through the sequence of steps:
1) Domain Modeling, 2) Use Case Modeling, 3) Requirements Review, 4) Robustness Analysis, 5) Preliminary Design Review, 6) Sequence Diagrams, and 7) Critical Design Review.
What is different about this book is that after the explanation of the development stage, there is a top ten list of common errors made in that stage followed by an example described in UML. The UML diagram includes some of the errors in the list and they are pointed out and explained. This really drives the point of the error home.
The book is a distillation of the experience of the authors as they built a comparable system. They documented the complete process via videotape and then distilled their actions, including errors, down to the material in the book. This has led to some very good examples of how to model development at all stages and will certainly help you avoid some of the most common pitfalls as you make the treacherous, exhaustive and gratifying move from idea to product.

In this first-ever use case workbook, proven authors Doug Rosenberg and Kendall Scott help developers and analysts put their use case knowledge to the test, in real-world projects. A perfect companion to the authors' breakthrough Use Case Driven Modeling with UML -- or any other introductory guide to use cases -- this book offers systematic hands-on practice in implementing use cases, based on the authors' unparalleled experience in teaching working developers. This workbook dissects the design of an Internet bookstore, step-by-step, in exceptional detail -- showing common mistakes in building use cases, and how the models look once they've been corrected. The authors provide hands-on practice with every aspect of use case development with UML, including requirements review, domain modeling, use case modeling, preliminary design review, robustness analysis, sequence diagrams, critical design review, and more. The book also contains five valuable "Top 10" lists, including lists of errors in robustness analysis and sequence diagramming.For all systems analysts, software architects, software engineers, and developers interested in working with UML or strengthening their current UML skills.
