Object-Oriented Design

Implementing an Object-Oriented Design

• Design public interfaces (public member function declarations) for the classes and operations you identified in the design.
• Design the internal data representation (private data members). Include information about relationships.
• Implement the public member functions. Identify useful internal helper functions (private member functions).
• Test individual objects and member functions before putting everything together.

Summary

• Identify Objects and Classes

                                  Operations

                                                  Relationships
  

• Strive for Well-defined Responsibilities, Strong Cohesion, Weak Coupling

• Develop Scenarios

• Remember:   Design is incremental and iterative!
