Wisdom—Whitewater interactive system development with object models

This chapter presents Wisdom (Whitewater Interactive System Development with Object Models), an integrated, lightweight, Unified Modelling Language based, software-engineering method. Wisdom is both a method for developing interactive software and an approach for software process improvement in small software developing companies. Wisdom makes extensive use of object models to support user-interface design within an evolutionary prototyping software process. Here we describe our approach and how it can be used for effective and controlled design of interactive systems by small software developing companies or small groups of people within user organisations.
