VisualAge UML Designer is a full-life cycle tool for object-oriented
development. It covers requirements analysis, analysis, design, and
code generation. The tool also provides mechanisms for maintenance,
reengineering, consistency checking, configuration, and version and
release management.
Code can be generated for either Smalltalk or Java. VisualAge UML
Designer complements the VisualAge product family in the early
phases of object-oriented application development. The output of
VisualAge UML Designer is the input for VisualAge ObjectExtender,
the persistence and transaction framework and tool, that is also
member of the IBM VisualAge product family.
VisualAge UML Designer integrates analysis and design into the
VisualAge development environment. The sample case study
presented in the book is based on the UML notation, and the goal
is to implement as much as possible using the tool. The concepts
of object-oriented analysis (OOA) and object oriented-design (OOD)
are stressed. Integration of all phases of object-oriented development
are taken into consideration. After reading this book and following the
steps provided, the reader should be able to understand and perform
object-oriented analysis and design using VisualAge UML Designer.
This redbook is intended for analysts, designers, software developers,
application experts, and technical project managers who want to
become familiar with VisualAge UML Designer. A basic understanding
of object technology is assumed, although the book may also help to
introduces some methodological analysis and design.
