Abstract

This tutorial shows how to look inside design and analysis methods to see how they differ, and more importantly, how they are the same. It examines several of the most well-known methods, including Booth, Coad/Yourdon, Odell/Martin, Rumbaugh, and Schlaer/Mellor, but its analysis techniques can be applied to any method. In general, each method is made up of several techniques (e.g. ER modeling, state transition diagrams) each of which emphasizes a particular aspect of the system. These techniques can be classified as being for structural (data), behavioral architectural modeling. The tutorial shows the techniques each method uses and how different methods use different dialects of the same I techniques, varying the notation and introducing new concepts. It uses examples to show how the same system is expressed in different ways by the various methods. The tutorial also compares the design approach advocated by each method. This tutorial will help you decide which method will work best for you. In addition, you will learn how ideas from different methods can be combined to better suit the system under analysis.
