Object Design


The purpose of the object design is to create a complete and formally verified description of the behavior of the system. The models used in this phase are essentially SDL diagrams, in particular SDL process graphs that are used to define the behavior of active objects.

One very important aspect of this phase is usage of the Paste As concept that will take a user from object models to SDL diagrams. Essentially the designer of the system will in this phase have to consider two major aspects when creating the design model:

The object design also includes a testing/verification task. The purpose of this is to verify that the requirements on the system, expressed e.g. in the design use cases from system design, are correctly implemented in the design.
