Description:

“A refreshingly new approach toward improving use-case modeling by fortifying it with aspect orientation.”

Ramnivas Laddad, author of AspectJ in Action
“Since the 1980s, use cases have been a way to bring users into software design, but translating use cases into software has been an art, at best, because user goods often don’t respect code boundaries. Now that aspect-oriented programming (AOP) can express crosscutting concerns directly in code, the man who developed use cases has proposed step-by-step methods for recognizing crosscutting concerns in use cases and writing the code in separate modules. If these methods are at all fruitful in your design and development practice, they will make a big difference in software quality for developers and users alike.

Wes Isberg, AspectJ team member
“This book not only provides ideas and examples of what aspect-oriented software development is but how it can be utilized in a real development project.”

MichaelWard, ThoughtWorks, Inc.
“No system has ever been designed from scratch perfectly; every system is composed of features layered in top of features that accumulate over time. Conventional design techniques do not handle this well, and over time the integrity of most systems degrades as a result. For the first time, here is a set of techniques that facilitates composition of behavior that not only allows systems to be defined in terms of layered functionality but composition is at the very heart of the approach. This book is an important advance in modern methodology and is certain to influence the direction of software engineering in the next decade, just as Object-Oriented Software Engineering influenced the last.”

Kurt Bittner, IBM Corporation
“Use cases are an excellent means to capture system requirements and drive a user-centric view of system development and testing. This book offers a comprehensive guide on explicit use-case-driven development from early requirements modeling to design and implementation. It provides a simple yet rich set of guidelines to realize use-case models using aspect-oriented design and programming. It is a valuable resource to researchers and practitioners alike.”

Dr. Awais Rashid, Lancaster University, U.K., and author of Aspect-Oriented Database Systems
“AOSD is important technology that will help developers produce better systems. Unfortunately, it has not been obvious how to integrate AOSD across a project’s lifecycle. This book shatters that barrier, providing concrete examples on how to use AOSD from requirements analysis through testing.”

Charles B. Haley, research fellow, The Open University, U.K.

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is a revolutionary new way to think about software engineering. AOP was introduced to address crosscutting concerns such as security, logging, persistence, debugging, tracing, distribution, performance monitoring, and exception handling in a more effective manner. Unlike conventional development techniques, which scatter the implementation of each concern into multiple classes, aspect-oriented programming localizes them.

Aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) uses this approach to create a better modularity for functional and nonfunctional requirements, platform specifics, and more, allowing you to build more understandable systems that are easier to configure and extend to meet the evolving needs of stakeholders.

In this highly anticipated new book, Ivar Jacobson and Pan-Wei Ng demonstrate how to apply use cases—a mature and systematic approach to focusing on stakeholder concerns—and aspect-orientation in building robust and extensible systems. Throughout the book, the authors employ a single, real-world example of a hotel management information system to make the described theories and practices concrete and understandable.

The authors show how to identify, design, implement, test, and refactor use-case modules, as well as extend them. They also demonstrate how to design use-case modules with the Unified Modeling Language (UML)—emphasizing enhancements made in UML 2.0—and how to achieve use-case modularity using aspect technologies, notably AspectJ.

Key topics include

  • Making the case for use cases and aspects
  • Capturing and modeling concerns with use cases
  • Keeping concerns separate with use-case modules
  • Modeling use-cases slices and aspects using the newest extensions to the UML notation
  • Applying use cases and aspects in projects

Whatever your level of experience with aspect-oriented programming, Aspect-Oriented Software Development with Use Cases will teach you how to develop better software by embracing the paradigm shift to AOSD.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

描述:
「以面向方面的方式加強用例建模的一種全新方法。」
— Ramnivas Laddad,《AspectJ in Action》作者

「自1980年代以來,用例一直是將用戶引入軟件設計的一種方式,但將用例轉化為軟件一直是一門藝術,最多只能說是因為用戶需求往往不遵守代碼邊界。現在,面向方面的編程(AOP)可以直接在代碼中表達橫切關注點,用例的開發者提出了一步一步的方法來識別用例中的橫切關注點並將代碼寫入獨立的模塊中。如果這些方法在您的設計和開發實踐中有所成果,對於開發人員和用戶來說,它們將對軟件質量產生重大影響。
— Wes Isberg,AspectJ團隊成員

「這本書不僅提供了關於面向方面軟件開發的思想和示例,還介紹了如何在實際開發項目中應用它。」
— Michael Ward,ThoughtWorks, Inc.

「沒有任何系統能夠從頭開始完美地設計;每個系統都是隨著時間累積的功能層疊在功能之上。傳統的設計技術無法很好地處理這一點,隨著時間的推移,大多數系統的完整性會因此而降低。這是第一次出現了一套技術,它促進了行為的組合,不僅允許系統以分層功能的方式來定義,而且組合是這種方法的核心。這本書是現代方法論的一個重要進步,肯定會影響軟件工程在下一個十年的發展方向,就像面向對象軟件工程影響了上一個十年一樣。」
— Kurt Bittner,IBM Corporation

「用例是捕捉系統需求並推動以用戶為中心的系統開發和測試的一種優秀手段。這本書提供了一個全面的指南,從早期需求建模到設計和實現的明確用例驅動開發。它提供了一套簡單而豐富的指南,以實現使用面向方面設計和編程的用例模型。對於研究人員和從業人員來說,這是一個寶貴的資源。」
— Dr. Awais Rashid,蘭卡斯特大學,英國,以及《Aspect-Oriented Database Systems》的作者

「AOSD是一項重要的技術,將幫助開發人員生產更好的系統。不幸的是,如何在項目的整個生命周期中整合AOSD並不明顯。這本書打破了這個障礙,提供了如何從需求分析到測試使用AOSD的具體示例。」
— Charles B. Haley,研究員,英國開放大學

面向方面編程(AOP)是一種革命性的軟件工程思維方式。AOP被引入以更有效地解決跨越多個關注點的問題,如安全性、日誌記錄、持久性、調試、追蹤、分佈、性能監控和異常處理。與將每個關注點的實現分散到多個類中的傳統開發技術不同,面向方面編程將它們局部化。
