Answer to Question #309802 in Computer Networks for Brian

Question

You are an IT consultant, and you are asked to create a new system for a small real estate brokerage firm.

Your only experience is with traditional data and process modelling techniques. This time, you decide to try

an object-oriented approach. How will you begin? How are the tasks different from traditional structured

analysis?

Answer 1

Object-oriented approach is a technique that is based on concepts of object, inheritance, class, attributes and as well as polymorphism. Object-Oriented analysis is used for describing the information system by the help of object. An object can be a place, person, transaction or event. Object-Oriented analysis is important than agile method and structured analysis because it can easily integrate with object oriented programming language like C++, Perl, java and SmartTalk.

Differences between traditional approach and object oriented approach

Traditional approach comprises of a relatively higher number of models which deals with different types of projects such as waterfall, spiral, iterative and v-shaped, but all of them and other lack flexibility to deal with other kinds of projects like Object-Oriented whereas object–oriented approach is a type of modeling language and methodology that is used for designing a system is referred to as object–oriented design. Similarly, these approaches are best suited to projects that will imply systems using emerging object technologies to construct, manage, and assemble those objects into useful computer applications.
