Slide 22

Slide 1.22 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Classical Maintenance Definition l The reason for these and similar unexpected consequences Classically, maintenance is defined in terms of the time at which the activity is performed l Another problem: Development (building software from scratch) is rare today Reuse is widespread

Slide 23

Slide 1.23 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Modern Maintenance Definition l In 1995, the International Standards Organization and International Electrotechnical Commission defined maintenance operationally l Maintenance is nowadays defined as The process that occurs when a software artifact is modified because of a problem or because of a need for improvement or adaptation

Slide 24

Slide 1.24 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Modern Maintenance Definition (contd) l In terms of the ISO/IEC definition Maintenance occurs whenever software is modified Regardless of whether this takes place before or after installation of the software product l The ISO/IEC definition has also been adopted by IEEE and EIA

Slide 25

Slide 33

Slide 1.33 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Requirements, Analysis, and Design Aspects (contd) l Between 60 and 70% of all faults in large-scale products are requirements, analysis, and design faults l Example: Jet Propulsion Laboratory inspections 1.9 faults per page of specifications 0.9 per page of design 0.3 per page of code

Slide 34

Slide 1.34 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Conclusion l Improve Requirements techniques, Analysis techniques design techniques l Find faults as early as possible l Reduce the overall number of faults => Reduce the overall cost)

Slide 36

Slide 1.36 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 1.6 Why There Is No Planning Phase l We cannot plan at the beginning of the project we do not yet know exactly what is to be built

Slide 37

Slide 1.37 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Planning Activities of the Classical Paradigm l Preliminary planning of the requirements and analysis phases at the start of the project l The software project management plan is drawn up when the specifications have been signed off by the client l Management needs to monitor the SPMP throughout the rest of the project

Slide 38

Slide 1.38 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Conclusion l Planning activities are carried out throughout the life cycle l There is no separate planning phase

Slide 39

Slide 1.39 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 1.7 Why There Is No Testing Phase l It is far too late to test after development and before delivery l Fault in specification document will be carried out to design and implementation!!!!

Slide 40

Slide 1.40 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Testing Activities of the Classical Paradigm l Verification Testing at the end of each phase (too late) l Validation Testing at the end of the project (far too late) There should never be times where there is no testing

Slide 41

Slide 1.41 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Conclusion l Continual testing activities must be carried out throughout the life cycle l This testing is the responsibility of Every software professional, and The software quality assurance group l There is no separate testing phase

Slide 42

Slide 1.42 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 1.8 Why There Is No Documentation Phase l It is far too late to document after development and before delivery l At all times documentation must be Up to date Complete Correct

Slide 43

Slide 1.43 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Documentation Must Always be Current l Large turnover in sw industry => Key individuals may leave before the documentation is complete l We cannot perform a phase without having the documentation of the previous phase Incomplete specs document => Incomplete design l We cannot test without documentation Must know what the product is supposed to do. l We cannot maintain without documentation Must know what the current version of the product does

Slide 44

Slide 1.44 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Conclusion l Documentation activities must be performed in parallel with all other development and maintenance activities l There is no separate documentation phase

Slide 45

Slide 1.45 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 1.9 The Object-Oriented Paradigm l The structured paradigm was successful initially It started to fail with larger products (> 50,000 LOC) l Postdelivery maintenance problems (today, 70 to 80% of total effort) l Reason: Structured methods are Action oriented (e.g., finite state machines, data flow diagrams); or Data oriented (e.g., entity-relationship diagrams, Jacksons method); But not both

Slide 46

Slide 1.46 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. The Object-Oriented Paradigm (contd) l Both data and actions are of equal importance l Object: A software component that incorporates both data and the actions that are performed on that data l Example: Bank account Data:account balance Actions: deposit, withdraw, determine balance

Slide 47

Slide 1.47 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Structured versus Object-Oriented Paradigm l Information hiding l Responsibility-driven design l Impact on maintenance, development Figure 1.7

Slide 48

Slide 1.48 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Information Hiding l In the object-oriented version The solid line around accountBalance denotes that outside the object there is no knowledge of how accountBalance is implemented l In the classical version All the modules have details of the implementation of account_balance

Slide 49

Slide 1.49 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Strengths of the Object-Oriented Paradigm 1. With information hiding, postdelivery maintenance is safer If an attribute of an object changes only the object is modified The chances of a regression fault are reduced 2. Development is easier Objects generally have physical counterparts This simplifies modeling (a key aspect of the object- oriented paradigm) Better quality software

Slide 50

Slide 1.50 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Strengths of the Object-Oriented Paradigm (contd) 3. Well-designed objects are independent units Everything that relates to the real-world item being modeled is in the corresponding object encapsulation Implementation details are hidden from everything outside the object information hiding Communication is by sending messages This independence is enhanced by responsibility-driven design (see later)

Slide 51

Slide 1.51 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Strengths of the Object-Oriented Paradigm (contd) 4. A classical product conceptually consists of a single unit --even if it is implemented as a set of modules The object-oriented paradigm reduces complexity because the product generally consists of independent units hence development and maintenance are simplified 5. The object-oriented paradigm promotes reuse Objects are independent entities Development and maintenance time is reduced

Slide 52

Slide 1.52 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Responsibility-Driven Design l Also called design by contract What actions is this object responsible for? What information does this object share? l Send flowers to your mother in Chicago Call 1-800-flowers Where is 1-800-flowers ? Which Chicago florist does the delivery? Information hiding Send a message to a method [action] of an object without knowing the internal structure of the object

Slide 53

Slide 1.53 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Classical Phases vs Object-Oriented Workflows l There is no correspondence between phases and workflows Figure 1.8

Slide 54

Slide 1.54 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Analysis/Design Hump l Structured paradigm: There is a jolt between analysis (what) and design (how) l Object-oriented paradigm: Objects enter from the very beginning

Slide 55

Slide 1.55 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Analysis/Design Hump (contd) l In the classical paradigm Classical analysis Determine what has to be done Design Determine how to do it Architectural design determine the modules Detailed design design each module

Slide 56

Slide 1.56 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Removing the Hump l In the object-oriented paradigm Object-oriented analysis Determine what has to be done Determine the objects Object-oriented design Determine how to do it Design the objects l The difference between the two paradigms is shown on the next slide

Slide 58

Slide 1.58 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Object-Oriented Paradigm l Modules (objects) are introduced as early as the object-oriented analysis workflow This ensures a smooth transition from the analysis workflow to the design workflow l The objects are then coded during the implementation workflow Again, the transition is smooth

Slide 59

Slide 1.59 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 1.10 The Object-Oriented Paradigm in Perspective l The object-oriented paradigm has to be used correctly All paradigms are easy to misuse l When used correctly, the object-oriented paradigm can solve some (but not all) of the problems of the classical paradigm

Slide 60

Slide 1.60 Copyright 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. The Object-Oriented Paradigm in Perspective (contd) l The object-oriented paradigm has problems of its own l The object-oriented paradigm is the best alternative available today However, it is certain to be superseded by something better in the future
