Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Analyse the behaviour of objects
   • Analyse behaviour scenarios and the prepare documentation, according to standards
   • Identify classes, objects and abstract data types, according to requirements
   • Prepare class, object, module and process diagrams, according to specifications
2. Prepare a state model
   • Analyse data requirements and iterate data flows
   • Prepare state-transition diagrams, according to standards
   • Improve the abstract data types and specifications
3. Describe the roles and responsibilities of classes
   • Review the functional requirements, assign responsibilities and update class structures
   • Specify the interface and class communication requirements
   • Prepare the interaction diagrams, according to standards
4. Iterate and review the object model
   • Review the current object model, class functionality and data transformation
   • Identify and develop class relationships, priorities, and the inheritance hierarchy
   • Review the class-service requirements and initial test criteria
   • Identify object processes and reuse classes
   • Document the model and forward it to the appropriate person

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

specify and model abstract data types

specify the interface between classes and objects
