Stability Model
Encyclopedia
Stability Model is a method of designing and modelling software. It is an extension of Object Oriented Software Design
(OOSD) methodology, like UML
, but adds its own set of rules, guidelines, procedures, and heuristics to achieve a more advanced Object Oriented software.
The motivation is to achieve a higher level of OO features like -
The Stability Model is built using three main concepts -
Object-oriented programming
Object-oriented programming is a programming paradigm using "objects" – data structures consisting of data fields and methods together with their interactions – to design applications and computer programs. Programming techniques may include features such as data abstraction,...
(OOSD) methodology, like UML
Unified Modeling Language
Unified Modeling Language is a standardized general-purpose modeling language in the field of object-oriented software engineering. The standard is managed, and was created, by the Object Management Group...
, but adds its own set of rules, guidelines, procedures, and heuristics to achieve a more advanced Object Oriented software.
The motivation is to achieve a higher level of OO features like -
- Stability - it means much of the objects will be stable over time and will not need changes.
- Reusability - it means majority of the objects can be reused for various kind of applications.
- Maintainability - this is an OO feature which applies more for SM because the objects will need least amount of maintenance.
Principles
The design tries to make use of common sense while guiding through the process of SM based design. It will need minimum amount of rampup time for people to understand new applications and objects once the process and methodology is kept in mind.The Stability Model is built using three main concepts -
- Enduring Business Themes (EBT)
- Business ObjectsBusiness object (computer science)A business object is a type of an intelligible entity being an actor inside the business layer in an n-layered architecture of object-oriented computer programs....
