Need-to-know information on the industry standard Unified Modelling Language for non-techies, all wrapped up in an easy-to-read introduction.
There's nothing theoretical about this book. It explains UML in the context of your real-world challenges. It's organized around the activities you'll need to perform. It focuses on the UML elements you'll find most useful.
Software practitioners are faced with the frustrating reality that there is seldom enough time to properly model an impending project. Even with the widespread acceptance of the Unified Modeling Language (UML), proper modeling is often not completed because aggressive schedules make this practice difficult. This book presents a streamlined approach to UML modeling that includes a minimal but sufficient set of diagrams and techniques you can use to get from use cases to code quickly and efficiently. 'Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML' provides practical guidance that shows developers how to produce UML models with minimal startup time, while maintaining traceability from user requirements through detailed design and coding. The authors draw upon their industry experience to present proven methods for driving the object modeling process forward from use cases in a straightforward manner.
For each of these topics, the book provides an overview, detailed discussion, top 10 mistakes, and a set of exercises for honing object modeling and design skills. Another unique aspect of this book is the three chapters on reviews.
" Applying Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML: An Annotated e-Commerce Example " is a practical, hands-on guide to putting use case methods to work in real-world situations. This workbook is a companion to "Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML." It bridges the gap between the theory presented in the main book and the practical issues involved in the development of an Internet e-commerce application. Uniquely conceived as a workbook and featuring as a running example an e-commerce system for an online bookstore, "Applying Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML" examines design in detail, demonstrating the most common design mistakes and the correct design solutions. The hands-on exercises allow you to detect, identify, and correct critical errors on your own, before reviewing the solutions provided in the book. Structured around the proven ICONIX Process, this workbook presents a streamlined approach to UML modeling designed to avoid analysis paralysis without skipping analysis and design. The book presents the four key phases of this minimalist approach to use case driven design--domain modeling, use case modeling, robustness analysis, and sequence diagramming--and for each topic provides an overview, detailed discussion, list of common mistakes, and a set of exercises for honing object modeling and design skills. The three chapters on reviews are also unique. The authors devote a chapter each to requirements review, preliminary design review, and critical design review. This focus on "designing quality in" by teaching how to review UML models fills a major gap in the published literature. Through examples, " Applying Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML " shows you how to avoid more than seventy specific design errors, as illustrated by the "Top 10" error lists included as a handy key on the inside covers and within each chapter. With the information, examples, and exercises found here, you will develop the knowledge and skills you need to apply use case modeling more effectively to your next application. 0201730391B08022001

What is this book about? If you want to use Visio to create enterprise software, this is the book for you. The integration of Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect and Visio for Enterprise Architects provides a formidable tool. Visio offers powerful diagramming capabilities, including such things as creating UML models, mapping out databases with Entity Relationship diagrams, and aiding the development of distributed systems. Its integration with Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect means that C# or Visual Basic .NET code can be generated from the UML diagrams, and Visual Studio .NET projects can be reverse engineered to UML models. For the developer already familiar with UML and looking to get the best out of Visio, the Visual Studio .NET and Visio for Enterprise Architects combination is weakly documented, and the quality information needed to realize the time-saving features of Visio just does not seem to be available, until now. This book presumes that you are already familiar with the basic concepts of UML notation — this book will not teach you UML. Instead, this book will take you forward into the Visio environment, showing you how to make the most of its software related features. What does this book cover? In this book, you'll learn how to Diagram business components in Visio Generate code from a UML model Reverse engineer Visual Studio .NET projects into a UML model Reverse engineer into a UML model without source code Document the project with UML and Visio Design distributed applications with Visio's diagrams Work with Entity Relationship database modeling, and round-trip engineering for database design
Contents - Database Design From Requirements to Implementation; Business Modeling for Database Design; Requirements Definition; Analysis and Preliminary Design; Preparing For Transformation to the Database Design Model; Database Design Models-UML Profile for Database Design; Implementing the Physical Aspects of the Database; Summary of Using the UML for Database Design.
In this book, two data modeling specialists from Rational Software Corporation show exactly how to model data with UML and RUP, presenting proven processes and start-to-finish case studies.
This book introduces students to the overall process of systems analysis and design, and specifically shows how O-O techniques can be used. It also addresses transferable skills, such as those used in fact-finding and project management.
