Object-Oriented Technologies and Software Modelling
a) Object oriented programming is a type of software development paradigm that looks at
the world in terms of real world objects that can be classified, accessed and manipulated
accordingly. Features associated with the paradigm are class, objects, polymorphism,
inheritance, encapsulation, and abstraction. Modularity, re-usability and extensibility are
among the advantages of OO design that enhance software performance compared to
traditional development (Dennis, Barbara, & David, 2015). Software modelling
provides techniques to model a system’s design- structural and behavioral thus giving
developers a chance to understand software requirements better (Bhutto, Akber, Imran,
& Mehran, 2018). In the case of CAMMY, an online university registration system,
object-oriented and software modelling technologies are the best suited approaches to
deliver an effective and efficient product.
OO technologies would be used to identify classes (group of related objects),
manipulation and access methods for each class, features and relationships between
different classes. In the system, departments for one class with each department having a
name, courses that it offers, lecturers and head of department. The courses on the other
hand have a name, course code, units and students taking it. Lecturers, just like student
have name, courses taught, and other details. To these classes, new departments can be
added, deleted, and manipulated using a wide range of functions. These functions
describe the processing that is expected to take place in the system and represents the
behavioral aspect of the system.
After identifying the objects, software modelling techniques such as UML can then be
used to represent the structural and behavioral aspects of the system diagrammatically.
