Introduction to Analysis and Design Tell students that a critical part of developing enterprise solutions is to analyze the business problem that needs to be addressed When you properly analyze the business problem and create an appropriate design, you can deliver a solution that is scalable, robust, and meets user requirements You should also adopt a design strategy that is sufficiently flexible to incorporate changes throughout the software development process ! Creating a Conceptual Design Discuss the steps that are required to create a conceptual design The system requirements must be captured from the perspective of the end user and the business services The UML defines a set of best practices for capturing and representing the system requirements UML converts the requirements into a set of use cases and associated scenarios The scenarios are defined as the output of the conceptual design under the MSF Application Model ! Creating a Logical Design Explain that the next step in the design process after capturing the user requirements is to build a logical model of the system The model consists of two views: a static view showing how the parts of the system relate to each other, and a dynamic view showing how the system parts interact with each other The UML provides a variety of diagrams in which this information can be captured These diagrams help to refine the high-level information gathered in the conceptual design phase into more detailed information on which you can base your implementation ! Creating a Physical Design The final design phase defined by the MSF Application Model is to create a physical design for the solution Explain that changes can be made to the logical design during this phase After all of the design phases are complete, the solution can be made into a component, packaged, and implemented !

Importance of Analysis and Design ! The MSF Application Model One of the ongoing challenges for developers is to build solutions that deliver the functionality the end user wants Building good solutions involves analyzing business requirements and designing a suitable software system to meet those requirements Although the detailed steps in analysis and design vary depending on the process and tools used, there are some common themes found in all software development endeavors When choosing a software development process for building enterprise systems, it is important to ensure that the process will enable the development team to identify the user requirements, design and build an appropriate solution, and adapt to changes in the requirements throughout the life of the development project In this section, you will learn about the phases in the design process You will also learn how to use an iterative approach to design to help ensure that the finished product meets the user's requirements This section includes the following topics: ! Importance of Analysis and Design ! The MSF Application Model 44 Module 2: Designing and Modeling The following illustration shows the initial screen for the Code Generation Wizard By using the Code Generation Wizard, you can confirm the classes for which you want to generate code and review their methods and properties The wizard provides code for the selected classes and a project for the target environment as shown in the following illustration You can then use this skeleton code as the basis on which to implement your component classes Module 2: Designing and Modeling 45 Creating Deployment Diagrams The UML also defines deployment diagrams to help show the relationships between the nodes on which components and processes are deployed Visual Modeler also supports deployment diagrams The following illustration shows a deployment diagram as produced by Visual Modeler To create a deployment diagram in Visual Modeler, select Deployment View To add nodes to the diagram, point to Create on the Tools menu and select Node 46 Module 2: Designing and Modeling Demonstration: Generating Code with Visual Modeler Slide Objective To demonstrate how to generate code by using Visual Modeler Delivery Tip The step-by-step instructions for this demonstration are in the instructor notes for this module In this demonstration, you will see how to use Visual Modeler to create a component diagram and generate Visual Basic code Module 2: Designing and Modeling 47 Iterating the Design ! Iterative Development ! Round-Trip Engineering One of the problems with traditional application development is the assumption that each preceding phase is complete before the next one starts With this traditional model, there is considerable pressure to be right the first time in every phase of the design In the real world, this objective is impractical because there are unknowns in any project The MSF Application Model prescribes an iterative design process so you can address the issues of uncertainty and change Iterative Development In MSF, the development process proceeds as a series of feedback loops between the conceptual, logical, and physical design phases Issues found in the physical design phase may necessitate a change to the logical design, or even identify a flaw in the requirements and analysis model, causing a return to the conceptual design Round-Trip Engineering Visual Modeler helps to simplify the iterative design approach by providing round-trip engineering capabilities After you have built your components by using the skeleton code produced by Visual Modeler, you not want to cut and paste your code back into new skeletons created from a slightly altered design With round-trip engineering, you can move backward and forward between your model and code without having to rewrite the code that you have added To use round-trip engineering capabilities in a Visual Basic implementation, point to Visual Modeler on the Add-Ins menu, and select Reverse Engineering Wizard You can then select which Visual Modeler model you want to reverse engineer 48 Module 2: Designing and Modeling The following illustration shows a sample screen from the Reverse Engineering Wizard After the Reverse Engineering Wizard is finished, your model will be updated so that it is consistent with the Visual Basic implementation You can then change the model and update the Visual Basic code with the changes Module 2: Designing and Modeling Demonstration: Reverse Engineering a Component Slide Objective To demonstrate how to reverse engineer a component by using Visual Modeler Delivery Tip The step-by-step instructions for this demonstration are in the instructor notes for this module In this demonstration, you will see how to reverse engineer a Visual Basic project by using the Visual Modeler Reverse Engineering Wizard 49 50 Module 2: Designing and Modeling Lab 2.2: Using the Visual Modeler Slide Objective To introduce the lab Lead-in In this lab, you will add a class to a Visual Modeler diagram and then generate code for that class In this lab, you will use Microsoft Visual Modeler to model aspects of the system and generate code for the bus_Order class Visual Modeler is a modeling tool provided with Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise Edition You will use it to examine and complete a model of the Purchase Order system Objectives After completing this lab, you will be able to: !

Involve the end user throughout development ! Capture requirements in UML ! Build a static model of the system in Visual Studio Modeler ! Use dynamic modeling to improve the static model ! Adapt the model for real-world, nonfunctional requirements ! Create coherent components ! Use an iterative approach to design When designing and modeling enterprise applications, you should observe the following best practices: ! Involve the end user throughout development There is strong evidence that involving the end user throughout the development cycle can significantly improve the chance of a project's success The MSF Team Model builds an advocate for the end user into the development team ! Capture requirements in UML UML provides a powerful mechanism for capturing end-user requirements Discovering actors, use cases, and scenarios is the first step toward developing a coherent model of the intended system ! Build a static model of the system in Visual Modeler By using the information captured in the use cases, you can build a UML class model to represent the static structure of the application You can use the Microsoft Visual Modeler to create a UML class model Visual Modeler also maps the model to the three tiers of services defined under the MSF Application Model ! Use dynamic modeling to improve the static model You can turn the scenarios created to exercise the use cases into sequence and state diagrams that reflect the dynamic interactions in the system These diagrams in turn can greatly enhance the detail contained in the class diagram ! Adapt the model for real-world, nonfunctional requirements It is vital that the model be mapped correctly onto the underlying architecture In particular, the choice of implementation technologies and the physical distribution of the system must be taken into account when performing this mapping 56 Module 2: Designing and Modeling ! Create coherent components The business services of a Windows DNA solution are implemented as COM components In some cases, the efficiency of the system and the ability to maintain it depend on correctly choosing which classes should reside in which components ! Use an iterative approach to design As the design of the system is refined, iterate through the design phases to ensure that the user requirements are being met Using Visual Modeler for round-trip engineering allows for a smooth transition between the model and the code and back again This advantage can greatly increase the speed of development and improve the response time to end users Module 2: Designing and Modeling 57 Review Slide Objective To reinforce module objectives by reviewing key points Lead-in The review questions cover some of the key concepts taught in the module Please take a few minutes to answer the questions in your workbook, and then we will discuss them as a class ! List and describe the three design phases defined in the MSF application model ! Employ UML use cases, scenarios, and use case diagrams in the conceptual design phase ! Use UML class diagrams and sequence diagrams in the logical design phase ! Use Visual Modeler to create class diagrams ! Use component diagrams and deployment diagrams in the physical design phase to generate code from Visual Modeler Which of the following descriptions best describe the MSF application model? a A hierarchical approach to designing three-tier solutions that consists of the conceptual, developmental, and physical design phases b An iterative approach to designing two-tier solutions that consists of the conceptual, logical, and physical design phases c An iterative approach to designing three-tier solutions that consists of the conceptual, logical, and physical design phases d An iterative approach to designing three-tier solutions that consists of the conceptual, physical, and reverse engineering design phases C is correct Explain the difference between a use case and a scenario Use cases describe a high-level, generalized interaction between an external entity (called an actor) and the system Scenarios expand on use cases by describing specific instances of the interactions possible within a use case 58 Module 2: Designing and Modeling You are modeling a payroll system and want to represent an Employee class Employees have a unique integer identifier called an EmployeeID, a department specified as a string, and a salary Employees normally start with a yearly salary of $20,000, and you want to show this compensation as a default What should you enter in the Attributes section of the Employee class?
