Current Trends of Object Oriented Programming Paradigm in Software Development

ABSTRACT: Object oriented programming is the most popular programming paradigm in the current Information technology era. This paper focuses on in-depth Object- Oriented Programming paradigm, OOP modelling and design, features of OOP, benefits and challenges of OOP, and languages which follow OOP in recent times. This paper analyzes some of the most important technological innovations in object-oriented software engineering in recent times. One of the most challenging jobs of software developers is to fit the development process in a specific architecture or framework or programming paradigms. This paper focus on advancements in Object technologies that include object cloning, class evolution, introspection and reflection, interfaces, global software development contexts, namespaces, query-able source codes, meta-model for generating design alternatives, magic methods, design pattern detection, auto-active functional verification. This paper discusses current challenges and issues of implementing object-oriented paradigm in software development.
