Hello,
We recently took the Rational OOA&D class which was very good, however, it
did leave one point of confusion regarding secondary diagrams (activity,
sequence and statechart diagrams) for use cases. These diagrams show the
dynamic aspects of use cases (basically more detail regarding the primary
and secondary scenarios found in the written use case) -- in other words
they show an external view of 'what' the system does and would seem to me to
be part of the use-case model. In fact the course material indicates that
they are part of the use-case model and, the course CD contains an example
which also shows these diagrams as part of the use-case model. On top of
this, in Rose, if you right click on a use case, it offers the option to
create these and, if you take this option, it also places them within the
use-case model under the related use case.
However (and here's the point of confusion), several students asked the
instructor where these diagrams belonged and she specifically told them that
'now' the convention was to place these diagrams in the Logical View under
the use case realizations.
Does anyone know anything about this? Are we mistaken, or does Rational now
say to place these diagrams with the use case realizations in the Logical
View?
Thanks!
Rusty
