Object Modeling
Object Modeling is a method used in computer programming and system design to create a clear and structured representation of real-world entities or concepts as Objects. These objects have specific attributes (characteristics) and behaviors (actions), allowing us to better understand and plan how they interact with a software system.
For example, you’re describing a bicycle:
- Attributes: You’d list the things that make the bicycle unique, like its color, size, brand, and the number of wheels. For example, My bicycle is blue, medium-sized, a Mountain Rider and has two wheels.
- Behaviors: You’d also note what the bicycle can do, like to move forward, brake, turn left, and turn right. For instance, My bicycle can go forward when I pedal, and it stops when I squeeze the brakes.
Object Oriented Analysis in Object Oriented Analysis & Design
OOAD is a way of organizing and planning how to build computer programs by thinking in terms of ingredients (which we call objects). Just as you decide what each ingredient does in a recipe, OOAD helps us decide what each part of a computer program should do, how they should work together, and what makes each part special.
Imagine you’re cooking a delicious meal. To make it, you have various ingredients like vegetables, spices, and groceries and each ingredient has a unique role. Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) is a bit like cooking, but for creating computer programs and systems.
