Object Orientated Design (OOD) is the second stage in the object orientated software development cycle, the first stage being object orientated analysis(OOA), and the third being object orientated programming(OOP). Usually these are parts of a larger development cycle.
In essence object orientated design is to emphasize a problem from the perspective of objects, this is represented using UML.
OOD is used to expand on the outputs from Analysis to the level where programming can commence.

    The outputs from OOD include:
  • Prose Document
  • Class Diagram
  • Object Diagram
  • Interaction Diagram (either Collaboration or Sequence, although sequence is most common)
  • Statechart andA Activity Diagram's
  • Formulae and algorithms


oOO

Is "oOO" in the lead sentence a typo? If not, it should be explained/linked. In any case, I don't like the use of the abbreviation so early in the article. Gmarsden 18:36, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ActionScript

I have serious reservations about ActionScript being listed as a current OOP. It seems to be in no sense a general-purpose programming language, but more of a scripting wrapper that allows access to the Flash object model. It's not clear that anything can be done with it in the absence of Flash, so it seems hardly any more of an OOP than does the the MS-Word macro language. I'd like to see some justification for considering ActionScript to be an an OOP. --Malleus Fatuarum 18:26, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a disgrace

I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw the rubbish written in his article. Does nobody else know anything about OOD apart from me? Does nobody else want to get this article at least out of the risible state? --Malleus Fatuarum 03:38, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lead Sentance

I do not believe that the lead sentence gives a clear definition of what OOD actually is. The closest that it comes to a definition is the phrase "part of OO Methodology," which I think is rather weak. This site defines object oriented design as "A software design method that models the characteristics of abstract or real objects using classes and objects." I propose that this definition be integrated into the existing one. Hac13 (talk) 09:15, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the following sentences would be a much stronger way to begin the article, however the tone of them could still be impoved: "Object Oriented Design is the process of planning a system of interacting objects for the purpose of solving a software problem. It is one approach to software design." I think that this is a good compromise. Are there any objections or suggestions? Otherwise I have good reason to substitute them in. hac (talk) 20:28, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
