Object-oriented modeling
Object-oriented modeling (OOM) is an approach to modeling a system as objects. It is primarily used for developing software, but can be and is used for other types of systems such as business process. Unified Modeling Language (UML) and SysML are two popular international standard languages used for OOM. For software development, OOM is used for analysis and design and is a key practice of object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD). The practice is primarily performed during the early stages of the development process although can continue for the life of a system. The practice can be divided into two aspects: the modeling of dynamic behavior like use cases and the modeling of static structures like classes and components, generally as visual modeling diagrams. The benefits of using OOM include: ; Efficient and effective communication: Users typically have difficulties understanding technical documentation and source code. Visual diagrams can be more understandable and can allow users and stakeholders to give developers feedback on the appropriate requirements and structure of the system. A key goal of the object-oriented approach is to decrease the "semantic gap" between the system and the real world, and to have the system be constructed using terminology that is almost the same as the stakeholders use in everyday business. OOM is an essential tool to facilitate this.…
