14 14 Ratioal Suite Tutorial

15 RATIONAL SUITE TUTORIAL Welcome to Ratioal Suite Does your orgaizatio focus o developig ad deliverig software? If so, thik about your last project. Was it o time? Withi its budget? Was commuicatio amog team members clear ad timely? Did your team maitai cosistecy throughout the project as it defied requiremets, developed desigs, ad wrote code? Was your build process repeatable? Did your software meet requiremets, satisfy users, ad perform reliably? May project teams experiece problems i these areas. I fact, may software projects fiish late (or ot at all), ad the result ofte does t match the requiremets. May projects ucover serious desig flaws late i the process. Defects are ofte foud after the software ships, istead of durig developmet. How ca you make your ext project more successful? Priciples of Software Developmet Ratioal Software Corporatio, the e-developmet compay, helps orgaizatios develop ad deploy software for e-busiess, e-ifrastructure, ad e-devices through a combiatio of tools, services ad software egieerig best practices. Ratioal's e-developmet solutio helps orgaizatios overcome the e-software paradox by acceleratig time to market while improvig quality. Ratioal helps you icrease your productivity ad effectiveess by focusig o these software developmet priciples: 15

16 Develop software iteratively. Iterative developmet meas aalyzig, desigig, ad implemetig icremetal subsets of the system over the course of a project. Early i a project, ew executable files reduce project risk. As the project proceeds, later executable files are more robust or cotai more features tha previous executable files. Each ew iteratio moves you closer to the goal of deliverig a product that meets its requiremets. Developig iteratively helps make your project more predictable, lets you collect feedback early, helps you idetify ad elimiate risks early i the project, ad makes testig cotiuous throughout the project lifecycle. Maage requiremets. A requiremet is oe criterio for your project s success. Your project s requiremets aswer questios such as What do customers wat? ad What ew features must we absolutely ship i the ext versio? Most project teams work with requiremets. O smaller, less formal projects, requiremets might be kept i text files or messages. Other projects may use more formal ways of recordig ad maitaiig requiremets. Whe you maage requiremets, you ca uderstad how chaged requiremets affect your project. You ca effectively commuicate requiremets to all team members ad to stake holders. Effective requiremets maagemet helps your orgaizatio esure that its products meet their stated goals. Use compoet-based architectures. Software architecture is the fudametal framework o which you costruct a software project. Whe you defie a architecture, you desig a system s structural elemets ad their behavior, ad you decide how these elemets fit ito progressively larger subsystems. A compoet is a o-trivial, idepedet, ad replaceable part of a system that combies data ad fuctios to fulfill a clear purpose. You ca build compoets from scratch, reuse compoets you previously built, or eve purchase compoets from other compaies. Desigig a compoet-based architecture eables you to improve your project s predictability ad helps ehace maitaiability ad extesibility. 16 Ratioal Suite Tutorial

17 Model software visually. Visual modelig helps you maage software complexity. At its simplest, visual modelig meas creatig a graphical blueprit of your system s architecture. From this visual represetatio of your architecture, you ca quickly detect problems such as icosistecies ad lack of modularity. With a visual model, you have a powerful ad uambiguous commuicatio mechaism that your whole team ca use. Visual models help you improve commuicatios across your etire team. They help you detect icosistecies amog requiremets, desigs, ad implemetatios. They also help you evaluate your system s architecture, esurig soud desig. Verify your software s quality. Verifyig software meas testig what s bee built agaist writte requiremets. This icludes testig that the system delivers required fuctioality ad verifyig reliability ad performace. A importat beefit of iterative developmet is that you ca begi testig early i the developmet process. Testig every iteratio allows you to discover problems early i the developmet cycle ad to expose icosistecies amog requiremets, desigs, ad implemetatios. Cotrol chages to your software. It is importat to maage chages to requiremets ad code i a trackable, repeatable, predictable way. Chage maagemet icludes trackig ad hadlig chage requests; facilitatig parallel work; ad creatig processes for reliably reproducig software builds. Maagig chages to your project facilitates clear commuicatio. It helps you cotrol chage propagatio, ad defie ad repeat developmet processes. Welcome to Ratioal Suite 17

May orgaizatios worldwide have successfully used it for both small- ad large-scale developmet efforts. 33

34 Learig the Mechaics The Uified Process is implemeted as a olie guide ad kowledge base, which you view with a Web browser. The Uified Process ad Ratioal Suite The Ratioal Uified Process ca help you ad your team work more effectively. We recommed that you adopt all or part of it to support your developmet efforts. You ca, of course, successfully use Ratioal Suite without adoptig ay of the process. (You ca also use Ratioal Uified Process with projects that do ot use Ratioal Suite or its compoet tools.) Eve if you do ot follow the Uified Process, you ca use it as a source of iformatio about software egieerig. For example, it cotais topics to help you better uderstad Uified Modelig Laguage (UML) cocepts. This tutorial follows Uified Process guidelies. The Uified Process guides you through the full software developmet lifecycle: project maagemet, busiess modelig, requiremets maagemet, aalysis ad desig, implemetatio, testig, deploymet, cofiguratio maagemet, ad eviromet maagemet. Exercise From the Gettig Started widow, you ca avigate to pages cotaiig tips about the mechaics of usig the Uified Process. You ca also fid pages that provide startig poits for learig about the process itself. 1 O the Gettig Started widow, click Browsig the Process. Your Web browser displays the page, Navigatio Tools, which cotais a layout of the Uified Process. 2 Familiarize yourself with the user iterface by movig your mouse over the picture ad readig the tool tips that are displayed. 3 Optioally, retur to the Gettig Started widow ad read about other aspects of the Uified Process. 4 Leave your Web browser ope. 34 Ratioal Suite Tutorial

36 Over time, your software project will require differet types of focus ad resources. Notice, for example, that most of the work associated with requiremets happes early i the developmet cycle, but cotiues throughout a project. Testig, however, ca start early i the project, but typically becomes most itese at the ed of costructio. Key Cocepts The Ratioal Uified Process provides a quick summary of its most importat compoets. Exercise Read about the key cocepts of the Uified Process. 1 I the tree browser, expad Overview by clickig the + to its left. 2 Uder Overview, click Key Cocepts. (From ow o, we ll abbreviate these two steps as follows: Navigate to Overview > Key Cocepts. ) A ew Web page appears. The diagram at the top of the page shows the relatioships amog Ratioal Uified Process cocepts. 3 Uder the diagram, scroll to the first sectio, Software Egieerig Process, ad read it for a quick summary of the Uified Process. 4 Cotiue readig to lear about other key cocepts i the Process. To summarize, the Ratioal Uified Process defies the followig importat cocepts: A worker defies the behavior ad resposibilities of a idividual or a team of idividuals. Oe perso may act as may workers over the course of a project. A worker is resposible for a set of artifacts. A artifact is somethig a worker produces as the result of performig a activity. I the Uified Process, the artifacts produced i oe activity are ofte used as iput ito other activities. A artifact ca be small or large, simple or complex, formal or iformal. Examples of artifacts are: a test pla, a visio documet, a model of a system s architecture, a script that automates builds, or applicatio code. A activity is a uit of work that a worker performs. It is a set of ordered steps, like a recipe, for creatig a artifact. 36 Ratioal Suite Tutorial

37 Relatioship betwee a Worker, its Activities, ad Artifacts A workflow is the sequece of activities that workers perform toward a commo goal. The followig diagram shows a portio of the Requiremets workflow. Excerpt of Requiremets Workflow A workflow diagram serves as a high-level map for a set of related activities. The arrows betwee activities represet the typical flow of order betwee activities. You do ot have to adhere to the prescribed path. You ca always jump to activities that are ot coected by arrows. You ca also repeat a activity wheever you eed to (for example, if more iformatio becomes available). Learig About the Ratioal Uified Process 37

39 Startig with Actors ad Use Cases Whe you desig or ehace a system, the Uified Process recommeds that members of your team start by agreeig o the system s high-level behavior. To do so, you idetify actors ad use cases. Exercise Actors are the etities that iteract with your system. A actor is usually a perso (for example, a ed-user or admiistrator). It ca also be a exteral hardware or software system, for example, a cash register or warehouse system. Use cases describe how a actor uses ad iteracts with the system. More formally, a use case describes what services a system provides to a certai actor. You defie a use case by describig a complete sequece of actios that yields observable results of value to a actor. Use cases are a key cocept i the Uified Process. They ehace commuicatio across your team ad help you commuicate clearly with your users. Lear more about workig with use cases. 1 O the Refie the System Defiitio workflow, click Detail a Use Case. The Uified Process displays a page describig how to write a use case. It icludes details about the artifacts that you ll eed to get started ad the artifacts that result from the activity. It the provides a step-by-step descriptio of the activity. 2 Say you wat to lear more about use cases, ot just about how to write them.

Why Worry About Requiremets? Oe defiitio of project success is that the product you deliver meets its requiremets. The formal defiitio of a requiremet is a coditio or capability to which the system must coform. More iformally, a requiremet describes a feature or behavior that a system must have. Where Do Requiremets Come From? As a aalyst, your job starts with gatherig the eeds of everyoe who has a iterest i your project your stakeholders. To gather eeds, you iterview users ad other stakeholders, read ehacemet requests, ad work with project team members. You ext determie which eeds should become project requiremets. 44 Ratioal Suite Tutorial
