Design Class Diagrams
نویسنده
چکیده
A design class diagram (DOD) illustrates the specifications for software classes and interfaces (for example, Java interfaces) in an application. Typical information includes; ? classes, associations and attributes ? interfaces, with their operations and cons tants ? methods ? attribute type information ? navigability ? dependencies In contrast to conceptual classes in the Domain Model, design classes in the DCDs show definitions for software classes rather than real-world concepts.

Do UML object diagrams affect design comprehensibility? Results from a family of four controlled experiments
Objective : The main objective of our study is to assess whether the use of UML (Unified Modeling Language) object diagrams improves comprehensibility of software design when this kind of diagrams is added to UML class diagrams. Method : We have conducted a family of four controlled experiments. We involved groups of bachelor and master students. Results : Results suggest that the use of object...
متن کاملA Systematic Approach for Constructing Static Class Diagrams from Software Requirements
The trend towards the use of object-oriented methods for software systems development has made it necessary for the use of object-oriented approaches in object-oriented software systems development. Class diagrams represent an essential component in any object-oriented system design. The development of such class diagrams in a systematic way is very crucial in an object-oriented development met...
متن کاملAn Empirical Study to Validate Metrics for Class Diagrams
One of the principal objectives of software engineering is to improve the quality of software products. Quality assurance must be guaranteed from the early stages of the software development life cycle, focusing on high-level design artifacts like class diagrams. Indeed, class diagrams constitute the backbone of objectoriented information systems (OOIS) so, their quality has a great impact on t...
متن کاملNumeric Function Generators Using Decision Diagrams for Discrete Functions
This paper introduces design methods for numeric function generators (NFGs) using decision diagrams. NFGs are hardware accelerators to compute values of numeric functions such as trigonometric, logarithmic, square root, and reciprocal functions. Most existing design methods for NFGs are intended only for a specific class of numeric functions. However, by using decision diagrams for discrete fun...
متن کاملSketchUML: The Design of a Sketch-based Tool for UML Class Diagrams
In Software Engineering classes, students need to learn how to use Unified Modeling Language (UML) in the software design process. In this paper, we describe a sketch-based software tool called SketchUML that allows students to create UML class diagrams as naturally as they would on paper, but with the editing capability provided by software. We describe the design choices made in SketchUML for...
متن کاملDescribing and Composing Patterns Using Role Diagrams
Design patterns are patterns of classes and objects that represent solutions to recurring design problems. They are usually described using class diagrams. Class diagrams, however, often intertwine the actual solution with efficient ways of implementing it. This paper uses role diagrams to describe and compose patterns. Role diagrams help designers focus on the collaborations and distribution o...
