Early sections introduce four basic principles of the unified process: that software should stress use cases (which show how it interacts with users), that the process is architecture-centric, and that it is iterative and incremental. The authors then apply these principles to their software process, which involves everything from gathering system requirements to analysis, design, implementation, and testing. The use-case examples are excellent and include concrete examples drawn from such areas as banking and inventory control.

The authors point out the connection between UML document types (like use cases, class diagrams, and state transition diagrams) with various models used throughout the software process. They provide very short, real-world examples that illustrate how their ideas have been successfully applied. The straightforward tour of the new unified software process gets extra elaboration--along with some advice--in later chapters that further describe the author's ideas on design. With the weight of these three expert authors behind it, readers can expect The Unified Software Development Process to be an important book and one that will be valuable to any working designer or manager. --Richard Dragan

Book Description
The Objectory Software Development Process is a new software analysis and design process derived primarily from the three market leading OOA&D methods, Booch, OOSE (Use-Case), and OMT with ideas drawn from many other methods and input from many other parties. It is a component-based, use case driven, architecture centered, iterative and incremental developmental process that uses the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to represent models of the software system to be developed. The Objectory Software Development Process book describes, apart from the unified generic process and the different activities in developing a software system, the different models developed and evolved during the lifecycle of a system. It describes in an easy-to-understand way the different higher-level constructs -- notation as well as semantics -- used in the models. Thus stereotypes such as use cases and actors, packages, classes, stereotypes, interfaces, active classes, processes and threads, nodes, and most relations will be described in tuitively in the context of a model. The Objectory Software Development Process will go further then most OO A&D methods by describing a family of processes that incorporate the complete life-cycle of software development.
