Fred,

I heard somewhere that IBM rely heavily on CRC cards during their OOD. As
someone who is fairly new to OOD and UML, can you give me a "real" world
feel of the relevance of use cases and the like.

TIA,

Alistair

1. You create a bunch of classes that perform functions you need done.

2. After a while, you notice that you are writing similar methods and code
fragments in several of these classes.

3. So you abstract this, using one of three (or probably more) methods:
   a. Make those classes be subclasses of a generic class that does the
common code;
   b. Make classes implement an interface, so that code that uses them can
be generic;
   c. Provide convenience or singleton classes to do standard things.

4. Repeat from step 1.

I agree completely (enough to excerpt and post it again! 8-)
