This book provides you with a collection of best practices, guidelines, and tips for using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) for business analysis. The contents have been assembled over the years based on experience and documented best practices. Over sixty easy to understand UML diagram examples will help you to apply these ideas immediately. If you use, expect to use, or think you should use the Unified Modeling Language (UML) or use cases in your business analysis activities, this book will help you: communicate more succinctly and effectively with your stakeholders including your software development team, increase the likelihood that your requirements will be reviewed and understood, reduce requirements analysis, documentation, and review time. The first three chapters explain the reasons for utilizing the UML for business analysis, present a brief history of the UML and its diagram categories, and describe a set of general modeling guidelines and tips applicable to all of the UML diagram types. Each of the next thirteen chapters is dedicated to a different UML diagram type: Use Case Diagrams Activity Diagrams Interaction Overview Diagrams Class Diagrams Object Diagrams State Machine Diagrams Timing Diagrams Sequence Diagrams Communication Diagrams Composite Structure Diagrams Component Diagrams Deployment Diagrams Package Diagrams The next two chapters explain additional diagram types that are important for business analysts and that can be created using UML notation: Context Diagrams using Communication diagram notation Data Models using Class diagram notation These chapters are followed by a chapter that describes criteria for selecting the various diagram types. The final chapter presents a case study.

Today, information-technology business analysts are often working on object-oriented (OO), Unified Modeling Language (UML) projects, yet they have a long way to go to exploit the technology beyond the adoption of use cases (just one part of the UML). This book explains how, as an IT business analyst, you can pull together all of the UML tools and fully utilize them during your IT project. Rather than approaching this topic theoretically, you will actually learn by doing: A case study takes you through the entire book, helping you to develop and validate the requirements for an IT system step by step. Whether you are a new IT business analyst; an experienced analyst, but new to the UML; a developer who is interested in expanding your role to encompass IT business-analysis activities; or any other professional tasked with requirements gathering or the modeling of the business domain on a project, you'll be trained and mentored to work efficiently on UML projects in an easy-to-understand and visual manner. This new edition has been completely updated for UML 2.2, and includes coverage of all the relevant new BABOK 2 knowledge areas. The new edition also covers various lifecycle approaches (non-empirical, empirical, waterfall, iterative, and agile) and their impact on the way project steps are carried out.

UML, the Universal Modeling Language, was the first programming language designed to fulfill the requirement for "universality." However, it is a software-specific language, and does not support the needs of engineers designing from the broader systems-based perspective. Therefore, SysML was created. It has been steadily gaining popularity, and many companies, especially in the heavily-regulated Defense, Automotive, Aerospace, Medical Device and Telecomms industries, are already using SysML, or are plannning to switch over to it in the near future. However, little information is currently available on the market regarding SysML. Its use is just on the crest of becoming a widespread phenomenon, and so thousands of software engineers are now beginning to look for training and resources. This book will serve as the one-stop, definitive guide that provide an introduction to SysML, and instruction on how to implement it, for all these new users. - SysML is the latest emerging programming language--250,000 estimated software systems engineers are using it in the US alone! - The first available book on SysML in English - Insider information! The author is a member of the SysML working group and has written sections of the specification - Special focus comparing SysML and UML, and explaining how both can work together

UML (Unified Modeling Language) ist ein leistungsfähiges Tool für die Entwurfsplanung von objektorientierten Computersystemen. Mit seiner Hilfe kann der Zeitaufwand für die Software-Entwicklung enorm reduziert werden. Entsprechend groß ist daher nicht nur die Nachfrage nach UML für firmeninterne Systementwicklung sondern auch nach praktischer Anleitung für den richtigen Einsatz von UML. Dies ist der Nachfolgeband des sehr erfolgreichen Titels "UML Toolkit" von Eriksson und Penker. Er konzentriert sich auf die brandaktuellen komponenten-orientierten Konzepte und erklärt, wie man OCL (Object Constraint Language) von UML für Business Rules und Business Views einsetzt. Dokumentiert sind 27 hilfreiche Business Patterns. (cat06/99)
