Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Exam Preparation Guide
Course Introduction
Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) is a course focused on the foundational concepts and methodologies used to analyze, design, and implement software systems using object-oriented paradigms. Students learn to model real-world systems using objects, classes, inheritance, and encapsulation, and apply design principles to create robust, reusable, and maintainable software architectures. The course covers the use of Unified Modeling Language (UML) to visualize and document system requirements and designs, and guides students through the various phases of software development, from requirements gathering and system modeling to architectural and detailed design. Through practical exercises and case studies, students gain experience in translating user requirements into effective object-oriented solutions.
