Objectives • Identify system events. • Create system sequence diagrams for use cases.
Moving on to Iteration 1 What have we done? • Some light requirements work was done in inception to help decide if the project was worth more serious investigation. • Planning for the first iteration has been completed • We have decided to tackle a simple cash-only success scenario of Process Sale(with no remote collaborations), with the goal of starting a "wide and shallow" design and implementation that touches on many major architectural elements of the new system. • In the first iteration, many tasks related to establishing the environment (tools, people, process, and setting) occur Our focuses from now on are: • Understand what problems are (Analysis), rather than how to solve problems (Design) • Analysis - use case and domain modeling analysis.
Introduction – System Sequence Diagram • A system sequence diagram is a fast and easily created artifact that illustrates input and output events related to the systems under discussion • Before proceeding to a logical design of how a software application will work, we should investigate and define the system behavior as a "black box“.
System Event and Response • Use cases describe how external actors interact with the software system. • During this interaction an actor generates events to a system, usually requesting some operation in response. For example, when a cashier enters an item's ID, the cashier is requesting the POS system to record that item's sale. That request event initiates an operation upon the system.
System sequence diagram • A system sequence diagram(SSD) is a picture that shows, for a particular scenario of a use case, the events that external actors generate, their order, and inter-system events. • The emphasis of the diagram is events that cross the system boundary from actors to systems. • An SSD should be done for the main success scenario of the use case, and frequent or complex alternative scenarios. • An SSD is generated from inspection of a use case Suggestion: • One SSD – one Use Case
Case Study: How to do SSD in the POS Project • Simple cash-only Process Salescenario: 1. Customer arrives at a POS checkout with goods and/or services to purchase. 2. Cashier starts a new sale. 3. Cashier enters item identifier. 4. System records sale line item and presents item description, price, and running total. Cashier repeats steps 3-4 until indicates done. 5. System presents total with taxes calculated. 6. Cashier tells Customer the total, and asks for payment. 7. Customer pays and System handles payment. ...
Step 1: Define System Events and the System Boundary the system boundary is usually chosen to be the software system itself; in this context, a system event is an external event that directly stimulates the software
Step 3: show Use Case • Simple cash-only Process Salescenario: 1. Customer arrives at a POS checkout with goods and/or services to purchase. 2. Cashier starts a new sale. 3. Cashier enters item identifier. 4. System records sale line item and presents item description, price, and running total. Cashier repeats steps 3-4 until indicates done. 5. System presents total with taxes calculated. 6. Cashier tells Customer the total, and asks for payment. 7. Customer pays and System handles payment. ...
