Synopsis

This book will describe the Process and take the reader/user through the phases of development. The book takes a very practical perspective, stressing the essential elements needed to get the process started, are the corners that can be cut to get the project elements needed to get the process started, are the corners that can be cut to get the project jump started. This is the real world perspective of the book, the approach that most clients expect will get their projects up and running in the shortest time at the lowest cost.

Book Overview:

Today, IT professionals have no shortage of object methodologies and models to choose from. But when it comes to practical processes for implementing those methodologies -- where to start, what to do next -- they're largely on their own. In this book, Tom Rowlett fills the gap, presenting a robust, start-to-finish process for delivering object-oriented software. Rowlett begins by introducing seven elements of a generic process model for object development, and identifying six key characteristics of a robust, use-case based process. Next, drawing upon his extensive experience and the field's best work, he offers expert process recommendations for stage of an object-oriented development project. Rowlett covers requirements gathering, analysis, design, class design and specification, persistence, implementation, test plans and test cases, user interface development, maintenance, and more. The book includes a detailed guide to managing your process, including identifying new deliverables, managing the learning curve, running pilot projects, and tracking the new processes you've implemented. It also presents numerous practical examples, including a detailed, start-to-finish case study. For all project managers, team leaders, and software engineers building object-oriented software.
