Unified process introduction to software architecture




















The goal was to refine RUP so that it included many of the best practices from the agile world, and so that it was highly suitable for small teams people and small projects months effort. The entire OpenUP process is fully detailed and publicly accessible via the Eclipse Foundation web site. You can even download and customize the framework using the Eclipse Method Composer tool. The key characteristics of the Unified Process are: [5] It is an iterative and incremental development framework It is architecture-centric with major work being done to define and validate an architectural design for most coding is done It is risk-focused and emphasizes that highest-risk factors be addressed in the earliest deliverables possible It is use-case and UML model driven with nearly all requirements being documented in one of those forms In general, the Unified Process is built around the idea of incorporating six specific best practices into a configurable process framework.

The Disciplines Business Modeling The Business Modelling discipline focuses on efforts to understand the organization, its processes, and the problem domain. The discipline focuses on understanding the following factors and how they may impact or relate to the software being considered: [4] Enterprise business rules Enterprise business process model Enterprise domain model Enterprise mission statement Enterprise vision Organization model Requirements The requirements discipline in RUP is like the requirements discipline in pretty much every other software process.

Analysis and Design The Analysis and Design discipline would be better named the Solution Analysis and Design discipline in my opinion. Testing The Testing discipline is focused on quality assurance of the software being released in that cycle or iteration. It includes such activities as: [4] Planning test efforts Creating test cases Running tests Reporting defects Deployment The Deployment discipline is focused on planning the deployment of, and actually deploying, the software that is being completed that cycle, phase or iteration.

This includes such activities as: [4] Managing change requests Setting up the Change Management process and environment Planning configuration control Monitoring and reporting the configuration status Managing baselines and releases Project Management The Project Management discipline is focused on standard project management activities such as: [4] Managing project staff Stakeholder coordination and management Managing project risks Project estimating, planning, and scheduling Iteration planning Project initiation and close-out Environment The Environment discipline is focused on supporting the overall project and development efforts through managing environmental factors such as: Processes Standards Tools hardware, software, etc.

The Phases Inception Phase The Inception Phase is the part of the framework when the why of the development effort is defined. The specific activities of this phase include: The software is built, integrated, and tested The user manuals have been created or updated The details of the software developed are documented and ready to be provided to end users or support staff including changes, etc.

Transition Phase The Transition Phase of the framework is where the software is deployed to end users and is essentially a broad beta test of the application.

The specific activities of this phase include: beta testing or user acceptance testing by end users to validate the new software against user expectations Parallel operation with legacy systems if in existence that will be replaced Operational databases are converted if necessary Users and maintainers of the software are fully trained The software is fully rolled-out The milestones that together comprise the Product Release Milestone that show completion of the Transition phase are: Users are satisfied with the software Actual versus planned expenditures are still acceptable enough to move forward with the project Unified Process Variations In addition to the general Unified Process described above which also covers the Rational Unified Process , the following are other UP variants I have come across.

The AUP product provides links to many of the details, if you're interested, but doesn't force them upon you. Simplicity: Everything is described concisely using a handful of pages, not thousands of them. Focus on high-value activities: The focus is on the activities which actually count, not every possible thing that could happen to you on a project.

Tool independence: You can use any toolset that you want with the Agile UP. My suggestion is that you use the tools which are best suited for the job, which are often simple tools or even open source tools. You don't need to purchase a special tool, or take a course, to tailor the AUP.

OpenUP is based on four mutually supporting core principles. These are: [15] Balance competing priorities to maximize stakeholder value: Promote practices that allow project participants and stakeholders to develop a solution that maximizes stakeholder benefits, and is compliant with constraints placed on the project.

Collaborate to align interests and share understanding: Promote practices that foster a healthy team environment, enable collaboration and develop a shared understanding of the project. Focus on the architecture early to minimize risks and organize development: Promote practices that allow the team to focus on architecture to minimize risks and organize development. Evolve to continuously obtain feedback and improve: Promote practices that allow the team to get early and continuous feedback from stakeholders, and demonstrate incremental value to them.

All project work is driven by use cases and other requirements: The Work Items List constitutes a laundry list of features, requirements and change requests raised on the system. The construction phase of the UP is identical to the construction activity defined for the generic software process. Using the architectural model as input, the construction phase develops or acquires the software components that will make each use case operational for end users.

To accomplish this, requirements and design models that were started during the elaboration phase are completed to reflect the final version of the software increment. All necessary and required features and functions for the software increment the release are then implemented in source code. The transition phase of the UP encompasses the latter stages of the generic construction activity and the first part of the generic deployment delivery and feedback activity.

Software is given to end users for beta testing and user feedback reports both defects and necessary changes. At the conclusion of the transition phase, the software increment becomes a usable software release. Abbreviated task set. We create models to gain a better understanding of the actual entity to be built.

Analysis modeling principles. Elements of the design model. Preparation principles:. Before you write one line of code, be sure you:. Coding principles:. As you begin writing code, be sure you:. Validation Principles:. Testing Principles. Through this work we have come to value: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
