Learning Technology FrameWork.pdf

Setting up your work area
UML compliance The diagrams you’ll create are fully compliant with the Object
Management Group (OMG) Unified Modeling Language (UML) 1.1
suggested standard. Technology and Enterprise FrameWork
support all UML diagram types (including activity, collaboration,
sequence, and instance interaction diagrams), although only a few
are featured in this tutorial.
Levels of modeling detail You’ll begin with a use case diagram that will represent the higherlevel
usage scenarios for your hiring system and will serve to define
the scope of the modeling project. This high-level diagram will
describe the types of interactions that can occur between the hiring
system and users of the system. In Lesson 3, “Getting More
Specific about Your Hiring System,” you’ll model lower-level
scenarios that provide more detail.
Lesson 2: Creating Your First Use Case Diagram
22
The basic components of a use case diagram are actors and use
cases and the communications that occur between them. You’ll
learn about these one at a time as you build your first use case
diagram.
Setting up your work area
Before you begin modeling, you need to open a new KnowledgeBase
in which you can save your work. A KnowledgeBase stores not only
the models you build, but also the rules and constraints that govern
their design. All the work you do in FrameWork is stored in a
KnowledgeBase.
You’ll also want to take care of some housekeeping details to create
sufficient space in which to work.
Opening a new KnowledgeBase for your work
To open a new KnowledgeBase:
1 Start FrameWork if you haven’t already done so.
