Object Oriented Software Engineering - Solved Paper
Q1 a) What is realization?
Realization is a relationship in UML that represents the implementation of an interface by a class. It shows
that a class promises to perform the behavior defined by the interface.
Q1 b) What is interface?
An interface is a collection of abstract methods that define a contract for classes to implement. It contains
method signatures without implementations.
Q1 c) What is the use of section 4 in SRS format?
Section 4 in SRS (Software Requirements Specification) typically contains external interface requirements
which describe how the software will interact with hardware, other software, or users.
Q1 d) Define forking.
Forking in software or UML generally refers to the division of a single flow into multiple concurrent flows,
especially in activity diagrams.
Q1 e) List any two advantages and disadvantages of prototyping model.
Advantages:
1. Early user feedback
2. Improved requirement understanding
Disadvantages:
1. Incomplete solution
2. Frequent changes can lead to poor design

Q1 f) Define Generalization.
Generalization is a mechanism for combining similar classes into a single, more general class. It represents
an inheritance relationship in object-oriented design.
Q1 g) Write down the purpose of the object diagram.
The purpose of an object diagram is to show a snapshot of the system at a particular point in time. It displays
instances of classes and their relationships.
Q2 a) Explain visibility modes along with well labelled diagram.
Visibility modes in UML determine how the attributes and methods of a class can be accessed.
1. **Public (+)**: Accessible from any other class.
2. **Private (-)**: Accessible only within the class.
3. **Protected (#)**: Accessible within the class and its subclasses.
A UML class diagram can be used to illustrate this.
Q2 b) Draw component diagram for online shopping.
The component diagram for an online shopping system includes components like User Interface, Shopping
Cart, Product Catalog, Payment Gateway, and Database. Arrows show dependencies between them.
Q2 c) Describe the Coad and Yourdon method in detail.
The Coad and Yourdon method is a structured technique for object-oriented analysis. It focuses on:
1. **Subjects**: Logical partitions.
2. **Classes and Objects**: Identified through noun analysis.

3. **Structures**: Generalization-specialization hierarchy.
4. **Behaviors**: Dynamic behavior modeling.
5. **Attributes and Services**: Data and operations.
Q3 a) What is package? Explain it with import and export stereotypes.
A package is a grouping of related UML elements like classes or use cases. It helps organize a model.
- **Import**: One package uses elements of another.
- **Export**: Makes contents available to other packages.
Q3 b) Define Relationship. Explain different kinds of relationship.
Relationships in UML connect model elements.
Types:
- Association
- Aggregation
- Composition
- Dependency
- Generalization
Q3 c) Define UML. What are the goals of UML?
UML (Unified Modeling Language) is a standard modeling language.
Goals:
- Visualize system
- Specify structure and behavior
- Document design

Q3 d) Define UP phases with the help of diagram.
The Unified Process includes:
1. **Inception**: Define scope
2. **Elaboration**: Analyze needs
3. **Construction**: Code and test
4. **Transition**: Deliver product
Q3 e) Explain generic components of the object oriented design model.
Components:
- Classes
- Relationships
- Diagrams (Class, Sequence, etc.)
- Design patterns
- Interfaces
Q4 a) Draw a collaboration diagram for ATM system.
A collaboration diagram shows interactions between ATM, User, Bank Server, and Account components.
Q4 b) What is meant by Object Oriented Analysis?
OOA is the process of analyzing a system by modeling it as a group of interacting objects. It focuses on what
the system does, not how.
Q4 c) Define sequence diagram. Explain sequence diagram notations.
A sequence diagram shows object interactions over time using lifelines, messages, activation bars, and

return arrows.
Q4 d) Write short note on Type and Roles.
- **Type** defines what an object is.
- **Role** defines what an object does in a particular context.
Q4 e) Define the following terms:i) Link ii) State iii) Branching iv) Note
- **Link**: A connection between objects.
- **State**: A condition of an object.
- **Branching**: Decision point.
- **Note**: Comment or explanation.
