Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UMLTheory and Practice shows how to drive an object-oriented software design from use case all the way through coding and testing, based on the minimalist, UML-based ICONIX process. In addition to a comprehensive explanation of the foundations of the approach, the book makes extensive use of examples and provides exercises at the back of each chapter.
This book leads by example. It demonstrates common analysis and design errors, shows how to detect and fix them, and suggests how to avoid making the same errors in the future. The book also encourages you to examine its UML examples and to search for specific errors. Youll get clues, then later receive the answers during 'review sessions' toward the end of the book.

The Rosenbert & Stephens's Book is a great example of doing by practice, but highly supported by foundations about what is important in UML.
The book offers a great discussion not only how use UML effectively, but how can you go through practice and coding. That's essencial if you want coding in a right way, but explore the UML notation.
The approach with ICONIX was fantastic. You develop a e-Commerce system completely using UML, Iconix process and coding with JAVA. I coudn't found ... Read More
Rating: - A dressing for the UML Salad
Since 2001 I had a lot of courses on UML modelling at the university and in inhouse company workshops. But none of them gave me the real power to write use cases so that I can easilly extract an object model from it. I always had problems to bridge the use cases to sequence diagrams and class models.
This book gave me the clues (with red and bold highlighted) such
"You can't drive object-oriented designs from use-cases unless you tie your use cases to objects."
Rating: - Great book with practical examples from start to finish
This book was extremely helpful because it takes the reader from Use Cases to code development using a real-life "sample" system (an internet book store) to describe the steps. The ICONIX Process is used in this book and the goal of the book is to get from Analysis to Code using a minimal, yet sufficient core subset of UML. Each step is broken down into detail and examples of how to do each step are provided and explained. Built into the "sample" project are mistakes (ones that are commonly made ... Read More
Rating: - A recommended read for anyone.
This book does everything it promises and more. While reading this book you will learn a design methodology that will help you in every project you work on. What you won't learn is a framework that does all the work for you. You also won't learn to rely on someone else's code. Instead you will learn how to really think about your project from the initial design to the final solution. You will learn how to properly document the requirements and the user interaction with the system. You will learn ... Read More
Rating: - The best, most practical Business Analyst guide
This book puts the whole business analysis process into perspective with a practical guide for how to go from step A to step Z. I am new to the ICONIX process and am very impressed with how ICONIX eliminates the burden of learning all the steps of UML and instead teaches in detail just the essential components of UML, so you can quickly develop the use cases, requirements, test cases, and coding specifications. The book is written with the business analyst in mind by highlighting the theory, but concentrating ... Read More
