Successful businesses and organizations are continually looking for ways to improve service and customer satisfaction in order to achieve long-term customer loyalty. In light of these goals, software developers must ask the question: how does customer orientation influence traditional approaches, methods, and principles of software development? In this book, a leading software architect and his team of software engineers describe how the idea of customer orientation in an organization leads to the creation of application-oriented software. This book describes what application-oriented software development is and how it can be conceptually and constructively designed with object-oriented techniques. It goes further to describe how to best fit together the many different methodologies and techniques that have been created for object-orientation (such as frameworks, platforms, components, UML, Unified Process, design patterns, and eXtreme Programming) to design and build software for real projects. This book brings together the best of research, development, and day-to-day project work to the task of building large software systems.
*Written by and for developers of large, interactive, and long-lived software systems
*Includes patterns of proven analysis, design, and documentation techniques
*Shows how to develop an appropriate design approach and concrete software development techniques

Chapter One
Introduction
1.1 APPLICATION ORIENTATION — THE 1.2 SUBJECT OF THIS BOOK
Recent major changes in global markets have encouraged, if not forced, many corporations to review their corporate strategies, with "customer orientation" being the ubiquitous catchword. This section discusses the motivation behind customer orientation, what it means, and why it requires a new approach toward software development—the application orientation. This discussion demonstrates that application orientation relates both to software products and how projects should be managed.
1.1.1 Motivation
The global economic environment has motivated many companies to orient themselves more closely to their customers. Customer wishes, requirements, and expectations are central factors in your corporate strategy, and products and services have to be tuned to this environment. The more individual you want your products and services to be, the more specialized the application systems you use in your organization have to be. This flexibility translates into high demands on any software development project.
Customer orientation
Does this sound far-fetched? Not really. In fact, these could be the introductory words of a speech about the Tools & Materials Approach (T&M). They could provide the economic background to motivate potential listeners or readers in an intuitive way to deal with this approach. Note, however, that these words mean more than just a marketing strategy. Customer orientation not only has become one of the modern catchwords in the business but
