Scenario architecture - a methodology to build a global view of OO software system

Abstract

OO software engineering (OOSE) has been a popular methodology for years; however, there are still some issues remaining unsolved: a generic mechanism for checking consistency of designs is still lacking; software has some problems resulting from process issue; and imperative engineer have a huge gap to adopt OOSE. These three issues intersect in the early analysis phase, therefore we represent a new methodology that provides a complete global view of OO software system that solves issues we identified, and uses requirements document and some analysis documents as foundation. Rules and a case study are also presented to exemplify the result of applying our methodology on both OOSE and imperative software engineering.
