本书是本科和研究生“系统分析与设计”课程的教材。
本书为读者展示了系统分析师所需掌握的概念、技能和技术等知识。本书的焦点是面向对象的系统分析与设计,并且遵循UML 2标准,但也包含了来自其他方法的元素,比如关系数据库系统设计的元素,它们如今仍然是企业组织中系统开发的一部分。作者用一个系统开发周期模型作为贯穿本书的组织工具,为学生提供一个强有力的概念上的、系统化的框架。通过一个集成的、扩充的说明性案例(松谷家具WebStore)和一个章末案例(百老汇娱乐公司)介绍了基于因特网的系统设计与开发的有关知识。

【本书特点】
1.符合UML 2标准:本教材现在从头到尾都符合UML 2标准,改进了各个UML图的讨论。
2.敏捷方法:第1版包括对极限编程的有限讨论,而本书则包含了对敏捷方法更广泛的论述。
3.用例:第6章对用例和书写用例的不同观点层次更广泛的论述。
4.OCL:在第9章引入了对象约束语言(OCL)来表达业务规则。
5.模式:在第12章,使用模式将顺序图从分析阶段转到设计阶段。
6.BEC案例:百老汇娱乐公司(Broadway Entertainment Company,BEC)案例已经被更新和改进,不仅在业务方面更通行,而且在案例中刻画了更多的面向对象系统分析与设计。
