  • Writing and Reviewing Use-Case Descriptions
    Bittner/Spence_06.fm Page 145 Tuesday, July 30, 2002 12:04 PM PART II WRITING AND REVIEWING USE-CASE DESCRIPTIONS Part I, Getting Started with Use-Case Modeling, introduced the basic con- cepts of use-case modeling, including defining the basic concepts and understanding how to use these concepts to define the vision, find actors and use cases, and to define the basic concepts the system will use. If we go no further, we have an overview of what the system will do, an under- standing of the stakeholders of the system, and an understanding of the ways the system provides value to those stakeholders. What we do not have, if we stop at this point, is an understanding of exactly what the system does. In short, we lack the details needed to actually develop and test the system. Some people, having only come this far, wonder what use-case model- ing is all about and question its value. If one only comes this far with use- case modeling, we are forced to agree; the real value of use-case modeling comes from the descriptions of the interactions of the actors and the system, and from the descriptions of what the system does in response to the actions of the actors. Surprisingly, and disappointingly, many teams stop after developing little more than simple outlines for their use cases and consider themselves done. These same teams encounter problems because their use cases are vague and lack detail, so they blame the use-case approach for having let them down. The failing in these cases is not with the approach, but with its application.

  • INCOSE: the FAR Approach “Functional Analysis/Allocation and Requirements Flowdown Using Use Case Realizations”
    in Proceedings of the 16th Intern. Symposium of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE'06), Orlando, FL, USA, Jul 2006. The FAR Approach – Functional Analysis/Allocation and Requirements Flowdown Using Use Case Realizations Magnus Eriksson1,2, Kjell Borg1, Jürgen Börstler2 1BAE Systems Hägglunds AB 2Umeå University SE-891 82 Örnsköldsvik SE-901 87 Umeå Sweden Sweden {magnus.eriksson, kjell.borg}@baesystems.se {magnuse, jubo}@cs.umu.se Copyright © 2006 by Magnus Eriksson, Kjell Borg and Jürgen Börstler. Published and used by INCOSE with permission. Abstract. This paper describes a use case driven approach for functional analysis/allocation and requirements flowdown. The approach utilizes use cases and use case realizations for functional architecture modeling, which in turn form the basis for design synthesis and requirements flowdown. We refer to this approach as the FAR (Functional Architecture by use case Realizations) approach. The FAR approach is currently applied in several large-scale defense projects within BAE Systems Hägglunds AB and the experience so far is quite positive. The approach is illustrated throughout the paper using the well known Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) example. INTRODUCTION Organizations developing software intensive defense systems, for example vehicles, are today faced with a number of challenges. These challenges are related to the characteristics of both the market place and the system domain. • Systems are growing ever more complex, consisting of tightly integrated mechanical, electrical/electronic and software components. • Systems have very long life spans, typically 30 years or longer. • Due to reduced acquisition budgets, these systems are often developed in relatively short series; ranging from only a few to several hundred units.

  • Tool Use in Software Modelling Education
    Tool use in software modelling education Seiko Akayama1, Birgit Demuth3, Timothy C. Lethbridge4, Marion Scholz2, Perdita Stevens5, and Dave R. Stikkolorum6 1 Kyushu University, Japan 2 Vienna University of Technology, Austria 3 Technische Universit¨atDresden, Germany 4 University of Ottawa Canada 5 University of Edinburgh Scotland 6 Leiden University The Netherlands Abstract. An important decision that must be taken by anyone design- ing a course involving (object oriented software) modelling is what tool support, if any, to use. Options include picking an industrial strength modelling tool, using a tool specifically designed for educational use, or eschewing tool use altogether in favour of pencil and paper. The best an- swer will depend on many factors, including the prior experience of the students (and staff), the length and organisation of the course, and the learning objectives. Moreover, decisions on tools have an impact on other aspects of course design. In this informal paper, the result of discussion at the MODELS Educators' Symposium 2013, we survey previous work on this question, discuss our own experience, and draw out some key issues that someone designing a new course involving modelling must consider. 1 Introduction Teaching object oriented design and modelling in a university is important not only because these are important skills that students will need if they pursue careers in software development, but also because this area is a key interface be- tween research and teaching. This double motivation { we might say, vocational and intellectual { for teaching design and modelling is itself a source of challenge for educators. We experience a tension between the desire to train students in the skills they will need after university, and the desire to have them reflect on the nature of design and modelling and the ways in which these activities could be improved with the help of cutting edge research.

INTRODUCTION TO OOAD ANALYSIS Analysis is a creative activity or an investigation of the problem and requirements. Eg. To develop a Banking system Analysis: How the system will be used? Who are the users? What are its functionalities? DESIGN Design is to provide a conceptual solution that satisfies the requirements of a given problem. Eg. For a Book Bank System Design: Bank(Bank name, No of Members, Address) Student(Membership No,Name,Book Name, Amount Paid) OBJECT ORIENTED ANALYSIS (OOA) Object Oriented Analysis is a process of identifying classes that plays an important role in achieving system goals and requirements. Eg. For a Book Bank System, Classes or Objects identified are Book-details, Student-details, Membership-Details. OBJECT ORIENTED DESIGN (OOD) Object Oriented Design is to design the classes identified during analysis phase and to provide the relationship that exists between them that satisfies the requirements. Eg. Book Bank System Class name Book-Bank (Book-Name, No-of-Members, Address) Student (Name, Membership No, Amount-Paid) OBJECT ORIENTED ANALYSIS AND DESIGN (OOAD) • OOAD is a Software Engineering approach that models an application by a set of Software Development Activities.

  • Executing UML Models
    Executing UML Models Miguel Pinto Luz1, Alberto Rodrigues da Silva1 1Instituto Superior Técnico Av. Rovisco Pais 1049-001 Lisboa – Portugal {miguelluz, alberto.silva}@acm.org Abstract. Software development evolution is a history of permanent seeks for raising the abstraction level to new limits overcoming new frontiers. Executable UML (xUML) comes this way as the expectation to achieve the next level in abstraction, offering the capability of deploying a xUML model in a variety of software environments and platforms without any changes. This paper comes as a first expedition inside xUML, exploring the main aspects of its specification including the action languages support and the fundamental MDA compliance. In this paper is presented a future new xUML tool called XIS-xModels that gives Microsoft Visio new capabilities of running and debugging xUML models. This paper is an outline of the capabilities and main features of the future application. Keywords: UML, executable UML, Model Debugging, Action Language. 1. Introduction In a dictionary we find that an engineer is a person who uses scientific knowledge to solve practical problems, planning and directing, but an information technology engineer is someone that spends is time on implementing lines of code, instead of being focus on planning and projecting. Processes, meetings, models, documents, or even code are superfluous artifacts for organizations: all they need is well design and fast implemented working system, that moves them towards a new software development paradigm, based on high level executable models. According this new paradigm it should be possible to reduce development time and costs, and to bring new product quality warranties, only reachable by executing, debugging and testing early design stages (models).

  • Use Cases, User Stories and Bizdevops
    Use Cases, User Stories and BizDevOps Peter Forbrig University of Rostock, Chair in Software Engineering, Albert-Einstein-Str. 22, 18055 Rostock [email protected] Abstract. DevOps is currently discussed a lot in computer science communi- ties. BizDev (business development) is only mentioned once in a computer sci- ence paper in connection with Continuous Software Engineering. Otherwise it is used in the domain of business administration only. Additionally, there seems to be a different interpretation of the term in the two communities. The paper discusses the different interpretations found in the literature. Addi- tionally, the idea of BizDevOps is discussed in conjunction with further ideas of taking new requirements for software features into account. These requirements can be described by models on different level of granularity. Starting points are use cases, use-case slices, user stories, and scenarios. They have to be commu- nicated between stakeholders. It is argued in this paper that storytelling can be a solution for that. It is used in as well in software development as in manage- ment. Keywords: BizDev, DevOps, BizDevOps, Continuous Requirements Engineer- ing, Continuous Software Engineering, Agile Software Development, Storytell- ing. 1 Introduction Developing Businesses if often related with the development of software because nowadays business processes have to be supported by IT. Continuous requirements engineering has to be performed to provide continuously the optimal support. Contin- uous business development seems to be a good description for the combined devel- opment of software and business. This term is not used so very often. Nevertheless, it exists like in [17]. However, more often the abbreviation BizDev (business development) is used.
