I was wondering if anyone could recommend any Data Mapping tools. I'm working with a financial institution currently migrating their front end application and...
Are you just interested in having a database to hold metadata including field names, physical names, formats, definitions, linage, and transformations or are...
... linage, ... Start with the database to hold the meta data. If XMLspy capabilities and database reverse-engineering capabilities are possible, thats a ...
not sure what you mean by Data Mapping... gonna guess you mean database (schema) and not the content of your business. reverse engineer the classes into a UML...
From a business and design perspecitive, not necessarily a development perspective. We have an application with some 100+ forms and screens, We defined the...
I know exactly where you are coming from. I am a consultant working on the Data Warehouse team for a financial holding company. Our BA's map all the data...
Wow, sounds powerful, Dane ;-) Not sure if your homegrown system was based on manual data entry or not... my premise is the "not..." another approach is to...
Dear All, The fact that UML is a de-facto standard for modeling software design may have made us take it for granted that using UML will lead to nothing but a...
(responding to Ariadi) ... There seems to be an inbuilt assumption that the writer of UML and the writer of code will be a different person. I expect this...

Hi Paul, Thanks for your comment. Yes. I'm are aware that many designers are also developers themselves. Neverthelles, I think the use of UML is very much...
There also seems to be an assumption that UML is the primary modeling language, yet as many of us have pointed out in the past the UML doesn't appear to be ...
(responding to Ariadi) ... Understood. Maybe one should consider sending over the requirements and design constraints, but not the design. IMHO, if the...
I agree. When you're thinking about handing a specification to someone, ask yourself the following questions: 1. What makes you think that the person will...
That situation is probably the worst way to offshore. The cost of developing detailed design documents to the level where a typist can write the code is...
Hi Scott, ... If they follow their software process, they will read it. Because they have to review the design with lead developers, estimate the time needed...
I would wonder what "the design" means. In most large projects, some level of design is going to be done by someone other than the person coding it. Some...
... I approach this question from the other end. Suppose I don't care what factors make the design hard to understand or wrongly understood. What could I do...

Tests are very useful, both for the developers and for the designer (assuming they're different people). Writing the test code using the intended classes...
... Well, user-centered design provides a bunch of methods for validating the user-visible aspects of software before writing any code. This gives you an even...
... Bullet-proof tests are wonderful. They're also at least as hard to write as the code that they exercise. And they may be as hard or harder to maintain than...
... Tests written to express intent is much more effective and easier to maintain than human language documentation (although, they can be more difficult to...
Scott (or anyone else) Do you have any good examples of "Just barely good enough" diagrams vs "Too detailed" diagrams.. Basically a diagram that is overly...
... I'm prepared to believe this, though I don't know that I've ever read any test code that I could say this about. Tests almost always have to include a...
There are diagrams all over www.agilemodeling.com, feel free to use some of them as long as you provide a reference back to the site. There is also a PPT slide...
