Produktdetaljer
An examination of the methods and techniques used in the analysis and design phases of Information System development. Emphasis is placed upon the application of object technology in enterprise information systems (EIS) with UML being used throughout. Through its excellent balance of practical explanation and theoretical insight the book manages to avoid unnecessary, complicating details without sacrificing rigor. Examples of real-world scenarios are used throughout, giving the reader an understanding of what really goes on within the field of Software Engineering.

8 Persistence and Database Design
Strong analysis and design are crucial in the successful development of any enterprise information system. This book will teach you the underlying theory behind designing large-scale object-oriented systems and will show you how to put this theory into practice. The author strongly believes in the philosophy of “learning by doing” and provides numerous examples, exercises and questions which allow you to try your hand at what you’ve just read and, in so doing, cement your understanding. The book recognises and identifies the many challenges that software development can throw up and arms you with the practical knowledge and adaptability to overcome these issues.
Key features
- 7 recurrent case studies feature to put the theory into an applied context. The cases used are: university enrolment; video store; contact management; telemarketing; advertising expenditure; time logging; and currency converter. Each have their own unique features and educational benefits.
- Numerous exercises, and questions help reinforce your learning
- Balanced blend of theoretical background and practical insight
- Uses UML throughout
- A comprehensive package of supporting materials, for both lecturers and students is provided on the companion website
New to this edition
- Addition of review quizzes within chapters and multiple choice tests at the end of chapters add to your learning experience
- New coverage of solution management frameworks (ITIL and COBIT) and system integration
- New coverage of business process modeling
- New coverage of Web GUI design
This book is the ideal companion for undergraduates studying: systems analysis; systems design; software engineering; software projects; and databases and object technology. It would also be an excellent reference for any practitioners wishing to get up to speed with the latest developments in this area.
