Object-Oriented Design Heuristics Arthur J. Riel

Follow real-world conventions, making Minimize the user's memory load by making objects, actions, and options visible. Objects as a design tool; many people (including some authors) saw it only as a technique for speeding up unit tests. Nov 11, 2010 - I've read "Object Oriented Design Heuristics" by Arthur Riel. We also had a recent example of a colleague, Oli Bye, stubbing out the Java Servlet API for testing a web application . A wealth of good technical information, useful heuristics, and good advice. Oct 14, 2013 - Object-Oriented Design Heuristics by Arthur J. It's a good guide to designing for OOP if you're looking for something like that. Jan 16, 2012 - For courses in Software Engineering, Software Development, or Object-Oriented Design and Analysis at the Junior/Senior or Graduate level. Object-Oriented The book has numerous advantages . I'm guilty of some bad class design myself that came from too much 'noun extraction', the best designs come after a first look at the core problem to be solved independent of any object-oriented/functional/logical perspective. This text can also be utilized in short technical courses or in short, intensive management courses. May 27, 2009 - The goal of heuristic evaluation is to find the usability problems in the design so that they can be attended to as part of an iterative design process. It's more of a way to verify your design than an actual design paradigm, and it's language neutral. Practical to have a “pure” object-oriented language (even Java has allowed for something akin to top-level function with static methods and imports), successful functional languages (and programmers) have to compromise in order to accommodate its design ambitions and the pragmatic needs of daily coding. Jul 22, 2013 - My very similar perspective might put it in terms of : to the extent that I see the solution based on algorithms, FP; to the extent that I see heuristics, I think OO. Heuristic evaluation involves having a The system should speak the users' language, with words, phrases and concepts familiar to the user, rather than system-oriented terms. Joe cut through all the conceptual barriers with his simple heuristic of “Only mock types you own.”. To me, template method implies .. However, quite often you don't want a template method, and when you think you do, it is pretty important to follow basic design heuristics such as Herb Sutter's conditions for "Virtuality". Sep 8, 2009 - The conversation was quite lively—mainly centering on the tension between pragmatism in testing and pure object-oriented design.
