In this case study we aim to put it right by working through a single problem from use cases and activity diagrams, through sequence diagrams and state diagrams, to class diagrams and component diagrams. We have arranged the case study as three distinct perspectives or aspects as follows. speeditonline Sun, 07 Aug 2016 23:27:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:2020 https://modernanalyst.com/Resources/Articles/tabid/115/ID/2013/End-to-End-UML-Component-Diagram-and-Deployment-Diagram.aspx#Comments 0 https://modernanalyst.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=115&ModuleID=572&ArticleID=2013 https://modernanalyst.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=2013&PortalID=0&TabID=115 https://modernanalyst.com/Resources/Articles/tabid/115/ID/2013/End-to-End-UML-Component-Diagram-and-Deployment-Diagram.aspx The UML Component Diagram along with the complementary UML Deployment Diagram shows how a software solution will be delivered and deployed in the form of interconnected components that interoperate via well-defined interfaces. You can think of this as analogous to how electronic components are wired together, and in this context you should consider that any one component may be replaced by a different but compatible component with no adverse effect. speeditonline Mon, 21 Sep 2015 04:15:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:2013 https://modernanalyst.com/Resources/Articles/tabid/115/ID/2021/End-to-End-UML-State-Diagram.aspx#Comments 0 https://modernanalyst.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=115&ModuleID=572&ArticleID=2021 https://modernanalyst.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=2021&PortalID=0&TabID=115 https://modernanalyst.com/Resources/Articles/tabid/115/ID/2021/End-to-End-UML-State-Diagram.aspx The UML State Diagram, sometimes known as the Statechart Diagram or Static Transition Diagram, defines the entire lifecycle of a business entity or object in terms of the messages it receives and the responses it makes from the moment of creation until the moment of destruction. speeditonline Mon, 29 Jun 2015 08:01:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:2021 https://modernanalyst.com/Resources/Articles/tabid/115/ID/2016/End-to-End-UML-Use-Case-Specification.aspx#Comments 0 https://modernanalyst.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=115&ModuleID=572&ArticleID=2016 https://modernanalyst.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=2016&PortalID=0&TabID=115 https://modernanalyst.com/Resources/Articles/tabid/115/ID/2016/End-to-End-UML-Use-Case-Specification.aspx A UML Use Case is an atomic system function with a well-defined and standardized specification, which is performed by or o behalf of a system user or ‘actor’.

This diagram therefore helps with the transition from non-object oriented activity diagrams and use case diagrams to the object-oriented paradigm of modern software development. speeditonline Mon, 13 Oct 2014 09:44:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:2018 https://modernanalyst.com/Resources/Articles/tabid/115/ID/1186/Introducing-the-CBAP-Certification--for-New-BAs.aspx#Comments 2 https://modernanalyst.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=115&ModuleID=572&ArticleID=1186 https://modernanalyst.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=1186&PortalID=0&TabID=115 https://modernanalyst.com/Resources/Articles/tabid/115/ID/1186/Introducing-the-CBAP-Certification--for-New-BAs.aspx The advantages of attaining a certification, such as the CBAP, are difficult to overstate; the benefits are numerous.

But unless one is armed with the proper planning procedures and techniques, the prospect of creating requirements for something as vast as an online business presence or functioning e-commerce system (or both) can be intimidating. speeditonline Fri, 21 Feb 2014 10:40:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:1420 https://modernanalyst.com/Resources/Articles/tabid/115/ID/2017/End-to-End-UML-Use-Case-Diagram.aspx#Comments 4 https://modernanalyst.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=115&ModuleID=572&ArticleID=2017 https://modernanalyst.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=2017&PortalID=0&TabID=115 https://modernanalyst.com/Resources/Articles/tabid/115/ID/2017/End-to-End-UML-Use-Case-Diagram.aspx Use case diagrams are used to show the decomposition of a business problem or software solution into a set of discrete functions (the use cases) which can be enacted by or on behalf of users (the actors). In a nutshell, this diagram shows who (the actors) can do what (the use cases) when interacting with the software solution. speeditonline Sun, 04 Aug 2013 22:25:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:2017 https://modernanalyst.com/Resources/Articles/tabid/115/ID/2011/End-to-End-UML-Activity-Diagram.aspx#Comments 2 https://modernanalyst.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=115&ModuleID=572&ArticleID=2011 https://modernanalyst.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=2011&PortalID=0&TabID=115 https://modernanalyst.com/Resources/Articles/tabid/115/ID/2011/End-to-End-UML-Activity-Diagram.aspx Unified Modeling Language (UML) Activity Diagrams are rather like traditional flowcharts that may be used to describe the steps required to enact high level business processes or low level algorithms. From the software analyst’s perspective these diagrams are most useful for representing business processes, so this will be our focus here. Whereas activity diagrams are often relegated to the final chapters of the UML text books, I prefer to present them up-front as the logical starting point for any UML analysis and design endeavor. speeditonline Mon, 15 Jul 2013 06:00:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:2011 https://modernanalyst.com/Resources/Articles/tabid/115/ID/1855/Managing-Requirements-from-a-Business-Analyst-or-an-Enterprise-Architect-perspective-using-BABOK-20-andor-TOGAF-9.aspx#Comments 3 https://modernanalyst.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=115&ModuleID=572&ArticleID=1855 https://modernanalyst.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=1855&PortalID=0&TabID=115 https://modernanalyst.com/Resources/Articles/tabid/115/ID/1855/Managing-Requirements-from-a-Business-Analyst-or-an-Enterprise-Architect-perspective-using-BABOK-20-andor-TOGAF-9.aspx Many BAs are using the  BABOK which contains information about a Requirements Management process, from identifying organizational situations that give cause to a project, through to starting the requirements gathering process, to delivering a solution to the business or a client. TOGAF 9, from an Enterprise Architecture viewpoint, also provides some techniques to gather requirements to equally deliver business solutions.
