L2c-S2 Doc. Processes  Fayad SJSU -- CmpE M.E. Fayad 2 Lecture 2c: Documenting Software Processes - 2

L2c-S3 Doc. Processes  Fayad SJSU -- CmpE M.E. Fayad Lesson Objectives 3 Understand the recommendations for documenting process. Discuss the essential process elements Understand how to document S/W processes Template Symbolic notation UML – activity diagram

L2c-S4 Doc. Processes  Fayad SJSU -- CmpE M.E. Fayad RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DOCUMENTING PROCESSES Concentrate on tracing inputs to outputs –encapsulate creative processing Identify all reviews –define products required –approval authority Identify where CM occurs Consistently specify all roles involved –developers –SQA –testers –customers Concentrate on tracing inputs to outputs –encapsulate creative processing Identify all reviews –define products required –approval authority Identify where CM occurs Consistently specify all roles involved –developers –SQA –testers –customers 4

L2c-S5 Doc. Processes  Fayad SJSU -- CmpE M.E. Fayad E SSENTIAL OO P ROCESS E LEMENTS Map method products to each software activity –graphics –tables –repositories Identify what/when from CASE tools Identify appropriate OO notation for your documentation Specify what level of coordination must exist between objects Map method products to each software activity –graphics –tables –repositories Identify what/when from CASE tools Identify appropriate OO notation for your documentation Specify what level of coordination must exist between objects 5

L2c-S6 Doc. Processes  Fayad SJSU -- CmpE M.E. Fayad INTEGRATED GRAPHICAL/ TEXTUAL DOCUMENTATION RECOMMENDED graphics maximize communication text expands detail graphics maximize communication text expands detail 6

L2c-S7 Doc. Processes  Fayad SJSU -- CmpE M.E. Fayad LESSONS LEARNED FROM PROCESS DEVELOPMENT Ingrain metrics collection directly into processes Development team should “own” processes Development team should “enforce” processes Process assessment should be part of process Ingrain metrics collection directly into processes Development team should “own” processes Development team should “enforce” processes Process assessment should be part of process 7

L2c-S8 Doc. Processes  Fayad SJSU -- CmpE M.E. Fayad OO DEVELOPMENT PROCESS SUMMARY 1. Processes map software methods from the classroom to the computer room –translate theory to action 2.Processes especially important for new OO development teams –maximizes individual contributions 3.Processes must be tuned for specific projects –tuned for specific attributes 4.Integrated graphics and text provide effective documentation format –eases communication and maintenance 1.
