In theory you’d like to be using UML and use cases, but in practice it’s often
difficult. Here are a few reasons why:
• UML is too big. In theory it’s all good, but in practice UML’s sizemakes it
impractical and causes analysis paralysis. We’ll teach you a UML core subset
and a minimalist process that’s been proven on hundreds of projects.
• Your analysts write vague and ambiguous use cases. In theory the use cases
are abstract, technology-free, and implementation independent, but in
practice they’re vague and ambiguous, so your programmers ignore them.
We’ll teach you how todisambiguate them.
• Your team has difficulty getting from use cases to code. In theory it seems
easy, but in practice something doesn’t quite mesh. The team has difficulty
crossing the gap between “what” and “how.” We’ll unveil secrets of the
“missing link” between analysis and design that have been closely guarded
by goat-herding Druids in darkest Wales for centuries.
• You have dysfunctionalrequirements. In theory you’re capturing everything
(functional, nonfunctional, and behavior requirements), but in practice these
are all intermangled together. We’ll show you how to disintermangle the
active-voice scenarios from the passive-voice requirements.
• Your team struggles with issues like requirements traceability, test coverage, and keeping models and code in sync. In theory tools should helpyou
with these problems, but in practice you’re not sure how it all fits together
and whether all the requirements have been implemented, even though you
unit test. We’ll show you the latest in automated tools and process support
for these issues.
This book is suitable for classroom use and as a resource for professionals.
We take an example project (the Internet Bookstore) from use cases andrequirements all the way through working Java/Spring code and unit tests, in a
step-by-step approach with dozens of exercises and questions at the back of
each chapter.
