Software Engineering Blog
Here you can find information concerning our research and generally related to software engineering and software development.
For Polish readers: Wpisy na blogu w większości będą publikowane w języku angielskim. Jeśli uważasz, że dana tematyka może być szczególnie istotna dla szerszego grona, daj nam znać postaramy się przetłumaczyć wpis na języka polski (jeśli chcesz możesz to zrobić także samemu :)
Guideliness for Developing SRS
We have just received permission to publish results of the project Guideliness for Developing SRS, realized in co-operation with the Poznan City Hall, which goal was to provide guideliness for development of software requirements specifications (especially when bid of tender procedure is involved).
CRUD Pattern in Use Cases
If you have ever been writing use cases for a data-oriented system (i.e. CMS), you have probably noticed that there is a problem with the large number of use cases like "Add an article", "Remove an article" etc. If you have all CRUD operations available for all objects in the system, you can finish with up to 4 x number-of-objects of use cases. You can reduce this number by introducing the CRUD pattern, which I would like to present you in this blog entry.
Use-Case Relations - Diagram and Text
In this blog entry, I would like to show you how the relations (include, and extend) between use cases are presented on use case diagrams and how to use them in textual representations of use cases.
Use Case Diagram
Use cases were Ivar Jacobson's contribution to the UML notation. Although they are in most cases presented in a textual form, there is a special diagram in UML called Use Case Diagram (UCD), which is used to present their structure and associations with actors. In this article I will try to present you all necessary information to use UCD effectively.
