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
