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
