Free Mini Course: Applying UML 2.0 with MagicDraw

2 Why Modeling Is Important?  Modeling is the core of modern software development, and speeds up implementation while elevating quality and user satisfaction.  It applies to all software development activities – from requirements to testing.  Without efficient modeling skills you cannot be successful in today’s software development! Did You Know? Software Development magazine Salary Survey 2005 has surveyed over 4000 software developers and managers and has identified that the MOST important skills needed to produce quality projects and products are architecture modeling and design (59% of the staff and 56% of the managers indicated this). The survey ranked this higher than programming, QA, testing, and requirements management. Therefore, don't miss your chance to spend your training budget on the right education!

5 A Case Study: Domain Analysis Perform domain analysis by modeling domain entities and their relationships using simplified class diagram. This diagram will serve as a visual dictionary of concepts. It will also be a starting point for your design-level data model. With MagicDraw you can generate dictionary in HTML format

6 A Case Study: Use Case Model Analyze functional requirements by identifying user roles – actors – and associating them to their use cases. With MagicDraw you can document use cases and generate use case documentation from model.

7 A Case Study: Activity Diagram for Use Case Scenarios Model abstract use case implementation by creating activity diagrams visualizing activity flows for primary and secondary use case scenarios. You can hyperlink use cases to the activity diagrams modeling their scenarios You can decompose activity diagram elements using hyperlinks to detailed diagrams Assign activity diagrams as use case primary and secondary scenarios, which includes them in use case documentation

8 A Case Study: Robustness Analysis Perform the robustness analysis to identify the major components in layered architecture: user interface boundaries, business logic controls, and data entities.

9 A Case Study: Package Dependencies Prepare package dependencies diagram to group your implementation classes in appropriate way. This will help you maintain the code well structured and avoid design flaws such as cyclic dependencies or dependencies on unstable parts. Specifics Stability

10 A Case Study: Interactions Model component interactions for use case scenarios in order to find out new methods in existing classes or even new classes with specific responsibilities.

11 A Case Study: Detailed Class Model Create detailed class diagrams to capture your object-oriented data model. Later you will be able to transform them into executable code – database DDL scripts, XML schemas, Java code, etc.

12 A Case Study: Implementation Architecture Define the major artifacts that manifest implementation of your components. Indicate how they are deployed on hardware nodes, their inter- dependencies and communication protocols.

13 A Case Study: Prepare Platform Specific Models Identify implementation technologies and software component types. Prepare models that are ready for code generation!

14 Learn MagicDraw Features! Organize your model elements and hyperlink them for easy navigation Prepare model content diagrams for easy model navigation Find all generalized, associated, and dependent classes for a given class Reuse model element in multiple diagrams with different level of details Document your use case models and generate use case specification Transform OO data models to database structure and XML schemas Create business process and system documentation following style guidelines and using layout tools Visualize and analyze code structure after reversing it to UML model Decompose large models into independent modules and profiles Compare model versions and find out changes in model and diagrams Create and associate analysis-, design-, and implementation- level models …and much more! Increase efficiency of tool usage by learning how to:
