  1. End of Semester Presentation05-07-2004 Team Dumbledore: Heng Chen, Myung-Joo Ko, Neel Mullick, Paulo Merson

  2. Agenda Team Dumbledore • The ArchE System • Architecture • Process • Accomplishments and plans • Lessons learned

  3. Team Dumbledore • The Team • Heng Chen – Team lead, Risk Manager • Myung-Joo Ko – Configuration Manager, Webmaster • Neel Mullick – Client Manager, Process Manager • Paulo Merson – Architect, Requirement Manager • Alex Berendeyev – Contractor • Namrata Malik – Technical Writer • Mentors • Anthony Lattanze • Ipek Ozkaya • Clients (SEI) • Felix Bachmann, Len Bass, Mark Klein

  4. ArchE What ArchE Does Requirements Knowledge System • QA scenarios • Functions Codified as Jess rules Designer Architecture

  5. How ArchE Does It Requirements QA scenarios and functions specifies Quantifiable measures Model QA specific evaluation refine applying tactics Design Goal: find design solution that meets requirements

  6. Context Diagram

  7. Functional requirements

  8. Quality Attribute Elicitation • Most important quality attributes • Modifiability • Usability • Performance • 17 QA scenarios

  9. Quality Attribute Requirements • Examples • After some user action, new values are generated by the model and are available in the rule engine (core); ArchE reads the results and reflects them in all relevant UI views within 500 ms. • The user creates a big system (with ~10000 responsibilities). Time taken to update all UI views after data from the core changes is 500 ms. • A developer familiar with ArchE incorporates a new security reasoning framework to work with ArchE by adapting existing views to security elements, adapting or creating new architectural design representation, defining new scenario types, interact with security rules/facts in Jess, display the security model, within 20 person days.

  10. Agenda • Team Dumbledore • The ArchE System Architecture • Process • Accomplishments and plans • Lessons learned

  11. Architecture • High-level C&C view • High-level module view • Eclipse plug-in deployment structure

  12. High-Level C&C view

  13. High-Level Module View Standard UML notation

  14. Eclipse Plug-in Deployment Structure

  15. ATAM • ATAM sessions • 2 ATAM sessions led by outside evaluator • 7 ATAM sessions done within the team • Usefulness of ATAM • Helps evaluating architecture • Helps in making architectural decisions • Aids future maintainers to understand architecture decisions

  16. Architecture Analysis • Performance/scalability scenarios: • After some user action, new values are generated by the model and are available in the rule engine (core); ArchE reads the results and reflects them in all relevant UI views within 500 ms. • The user creates a big system (with ~10000 responsibilities). Time taken to update all UI views after data from the core changes is 500 ms.

  17. Alternative 1Cache fact base andrefresh after every change

  18. Alternative 2Access facts directly in the coreJess notifies changes

  19. Trade-offs

  20. Agenda • Team Dumbledore • The ArchE System • Architecture Process • Accomplishments and plans • Lessons learned

  21. ACDM (Architecture-Centric Development Method) • It suits studio projects • Lightweight • Small teams • Short development cycles • It addresses risks at the architecture level • ArchE itself is about architecture • Clients are architecture-focused • Author is one of our mentors

  23. ACDM (Architecture-Centric Development Method) • Technical experiments Paulo Henry Neel Myung High-Level C&C view

  24. ACDM (Architecture-Centric Development Method) • Technical experiments Current status Experiment plan Did training session & developed UI codes Paulo : Eclipse Plug-in Development Did training session Neel : Jess Rule Engine Developed codes creating xmi readable by Rose Myung : Design Export to Rose Developed & delivered codes to clients Henry : Java RMA Model Solver

  25. ACDM (Architecture-Centric Development Method) • Lessons learned • Conducting two hour workshop for architecture every week helped us a lot • Carrying out technical experimentswasa good mitigation strategy for technical risks • Following ACDM for design phase was a good decision • Next steps • Finish technical experiments • Create detailed design • Code ArchE1

  26. Review & Verification UI Paper Prototypes Tracking & Update UI Detailed Stories Fall semester Spring semester Summer semester Requirement Management Workflow of UI prototypes

  27. Review & Verification UI Paper Prototypes Tracking & Update UI Detailed Stories 6 2 3 4 1 9 7 8 20 5 16 10 12 11 13 14 17 19 18 15 Requirement Management • Example

  28. UI Paper Prototypes Review & Verification Tracking & Update UI Detailed Stories Requirement Management • Learned from “Methods of Software Development” course • Purpose • Elicit functional requirements • Define the structure of UI • Define and verify usability requirements • Created the prototype of all key screens • Out of 21 screens, 12 screens were selected and created

  29. UI Detailed Stories Review & Verification Tracking & Update UI Paper Prototypes Requirement Management • Inspired by Extreme Programming “user stories” • Purpose • Complement the UI paper prototypes • UI prototypes and detailed stories • Guided creation of test cases • Will be a basis for implementing screens

  30. Review & Verification Tracking & Update UI Paper Prototypes UI Detailed Stories Requirement Management • Reviewed by Requirement Manager • Verified by clients • Weekly client meeting every Friday 3:00–5:00 pm

  31. Tracking & Update Review & Verification UI Paper Prototypes UI Detailed Stories Requirement Management • Manage status of UI detailed stories • Identified • Story reviewed by clients • Story agreed upon • When requirements are changed • Update UI paper prototypes and UI detailed stories • Update UI status list in SRS • Reviewed by the team

  32. Review & Verification Tracking & Update UI Detailed Stories UI Prototypes Requirement Management • Lessons learned • UI paper prototypes were good media for communication with clients • Weekly client meeting really helped • Next steps • Review stories of 3 remaining screens • Freeze UIs of ArchE1
