Modern software development draws on many concepts, strategies, processes, tools, and techniques: 3-Tier Architecture, Model Driven Architecture, UML, Unified Process, visual modeling, visual programming, round-trip engineering, object-think, use case driven, incremental and iterative, documentable, etc. Each has a different objective. Each has a different point-of-view. Each has a different level of abstraction. None address the melding of these various ‘ways of doing’ software development into a cohesive and coherent, ‘best-of-breed’ approach to software development. Laying out a strategy that can fall along a continuum from water-fall to agile, the authors bring their OOAD & P ‘best-of-breed’ decisions to select components for a synthesized strategy that is incremental, iterative, traceable, documentable, and teachable to beginning undergraduate software developers.

Keywords: Object-Oriented Analysis, Design and Programming; software development strategies
