Hi. Back in April/May I posted a note about an online survey on Agile Software Development. Thank-you to all who participated (close to 100). I have posted a...
... Thanks Dean I believe you are correct that a package would correspond to a "configuration" of "things" - and in fact in the field of SCM there is an...
(responding to Brad) ... In the past I've taken the approach of talking in terms of 'consistency', I think you're reaching the same answer by a different route...
Thanks Paul - interesting you talkj about consistency because one of my other principles is named that. I actually havent decided wither to call it "The...
I will be out of the office starting 03/09/2005 and will not return until 12/09/2005. I am currently in Taiwan will return on Monday September 12th. I will ...
I am currently in my spare room and will be avoiding mowing the lawn until 10/9/2005. I think I went to school with a Robin Clarke. You're not an Old Vigornian...
I would like to hear arguments for/against assigning responsibilities to objects during OOA (initial discovery of objects). I sometimes use the term domain...
Marco, Why "either ... or"? Why not have the responsibilities of classes (or even the existence of classes) evolve during design, analysis, and implementation...
(responding to Brad) Good ideas here. ... I am trying to use 'baselines' in 2 distinct ways; a snapshot (which seems to be the usage you have here) and a...
(responding to Marco ) ... I've seen people doing 'Analysis' without assigning responsibilities to objects, but I do not see how one could claim to be doing...
Marco ... As far as assigning responsibilities to classes is concerned, I firmly believe that this happens early on in the process of doing OOA. The ...
Just thought I'd make a few points to support the points made by others early in the conversation. 1. Steve discussed the idea that you don't really have an...
... phase, ... [snip] I didn't mention anything about a phase in my post, I think of OOA as the use of certain techniques in the domain space to understand the...
here's what i do... if we stumble on an idea for "responsibility," try to do something with it other than lose it and forget about it. of course... one might...
... Thanks Paul! ... This is a very common confusion about the term baseline. A baseline is really shorthand for the term "baselined configuration". A...
(responding to Brad) ... Okay, definitions differ. We probably have to live with that. The common concept is that a base line is something fixed, on which we...
... Sounds like functional baseline and product baselines (and possibly allocated baselines) see below. ... If we go according to any of the previously...
Hi Brooke! Many thanks for the feedback! ... I agree - this breaks the change closure principle as it had been stated. My next question would be: so which is...
Hi, I thought members of this group might be interested in the Synergy Project between OMG, TOGAF and Integration Consortium. See a draft deliverable below...
Looks interesting, but I wouldn't want to equate the support of specification consortiums to the support of practitioners within the industry. To be blunt,...
A quick skimming of this document does nothing to make me doubt my impression that MDA as currently conceived cannot support agile software development - it...
... I think we need to differentiate between what was written here and the potential for MDA. I have no doubt that an agile approach to MDA is possible, that...
Hi, While I am not an advocate of TOGAF or MDA, I am sympathetic to the idea they are proposing. It occurs to me that with the refinement of the abstraction of...
I also suspect that the design tools for software, like the design tools for most other domains, will be visual rather than textual, eventually. However, that...
