Modelling detailed flows
« on: October 17, 2006, 11:48:35 pm »
I am modelling a quite large project - it íncludes business processes (flows etc) but also more detailed flows (details about invoice system etc).

My question is in what view should I put those detailed processes.  I can't really have them fit anywhere (where I am satisfied).

I am using all common views, that is

Bussiness
Requirements
Use Case
Domain
Data
Class
Component
Deployment
Test
Maintenance
Project
User Interface.

Should I add a Design View?

I know, UML is not really about this - this is more about the process of dealing with UML.

That really depends... My own pattern looks totally different in the meantime, although I started with the example project view that once came with EA. What I'm doing is to have two roots. One is the project specific and the other one is called something like common resources. The project specific root is separated into three main folders: CIM, PIM and PSM. And as you can guess the CIM contains all abstract stuff like Requirements, Business Actors and Processes and so on. The PIM is dealing with the domain on an abstract class level and the PSM holds the deployment. In doing so I support model transformations from CIM to PIM and PIM to PSM.

I should spend some time to create a metamodel, but unfortunately there is never enough time for really important work  :(
