OCSMP Model User Exam Preparation

Prerequisites:

None.

Overview:

Prepare for the OMG Certified Systems Modeling Professional certification with targeted OCSMP exam preparation. This course dives into practical approaches to requirement diagrams, use case modeling, block definitions, internal block diagrams, parametric constraints, activity flows, sequence diagrams, state machines, and cross-diagram allocation. Candidates build the interpretation skills and modeling fluency needed to pass the exam and apply professional-grade SysML notation in real projects.
This course prepares you for the OMG Certified Systems Modeling Professional (OCSMP).

Course Outline:

Interpreting Requirements on Requirement Diagrams

• Concept of "requirement"
• Key relationships including derive, verify, satisfy, refine, trace, containment
• Requirement Diagram description, purpose, and benefits

Interpreting System Functionality on Use Case Diagrams

• Use Case Diagram description, purpose, and benefits
• Use case structure encompassing use case, actor, and subject
• Basic relationships including association, include, extend, and generalization.

Interpreting Model Organization on Package Diagrams

• Package Diagram description, purpose, and benefits, aspects of packages including ownership of elements, and defining a namespace
• Relationships including containment and dependency
• Concepts of view and viewpoint

Interpreting System Structure on Block Diagrams

• Block definition and description, including definition vs. usage; valuetype (with units), block features including value properties, parts, references, and operations.
• Block Definition Diagram description, purpose, and benefits; compartments; relationships between blocks including specialization and associations (including composite but not shared aggregation); multiplicities.
• Internal Block Diagram description, purpose, and benefits; enclosing block; flow ports and standard ports; connectors and item flows; representation of parts.

Interpreting System Constraints on Block Definition Diagrams and Parametric Diagrams

• Interpreting constraint blocks on Block Definition Diagrams
• Parametric Diagram description, purpose, and benefits; constraint properties, constraint parameters, and constraint expressions
• Connecting constraint properties and value properties with binding connectors.

Interpreting Flow-Based Behavior on Activity Diagrams

• Activity Diagram description, purpose, and benefits
• I/O flow including object flow, parameters and parameter nodes, and pins
• Control flow including control nodes
• Activity partitions (swimlanes) and actions including decomposition of activities using call behavior action
• Send signal action and accept event action.

Interpreting Message-Based Behavior on Sequence Diagrams

• Sequence Diagram description, purpose, and benefits
• Lifelines
• Asynchronous and synchronous messages
• Interaction references (to elements outside the diagram).

Interpreting Event-Based Behavior on State Machine Diagrams

• State Machine Diagram description, purpose, and benefits
• States and regions including state, regions, initial state and final state
• Transitions including trigger by time and signal events, guard, and action (i.e. effect) and behaviors including entry, exit, and do

Interpreting Allocations Across Multiple Diagram Types; Other Topics

• Allocation description, purpose and usage
• AllocatedFrom and AllocatedTo
• Representation including callouts, compartments, allocate activity partitions, and tables
• Special notations for comment, rationale, problem, and constraint.
• Some concepts relating to diagrams: diagram frames, ports, parameters, and anchors on diagram frames
• Diagram header, and diagram description
• Stereotype
