Abstract

Methodologies within software engineering are introduced with the speed of improved soap-powders. One of the major movements is object-orientedness. It already started at language level long ago, with Simula 67 and Smalltalk, and nowadays many methodologies are labelled as object-oriented. And it is ongoing: unifications of object-oriented methods are introduced to get the maximum benefit of all involved. This article examines some important techniques and constructions used in the mainstream object-oriented methodologies, and elaborates on their common properties and weaknesses in practical use.
