6. Integrated Modeling Overview

Why using Modeling?

Modeling in Application Development Lifecycle

Modeling Techniques

7. Why Modeling - Would You Build a House Without a Blueprint?

The Architect will do the first high level drawings to validate the concept with its client He will then make a detailed plan for the Builders

The Builders will take this blueprint and optimize it based on technical constraints

8. Problem Statements

How to optimize ROI?

How to improve application quality, reduce development time and ease maintenance?

How to design applications in such way that they are easy to adapt for business requirements changes?

Different techniques (E/R, UML, BP Modeling) have forced corporations to buy different tools, raising communication and co-ordination issues

Lack of central place to store and manage models

9. Modeling Toolforthe Rescue

To improve application quality, reduce development time and ease maintenance

• Use Modeling tool to analyze and design the applications

• Use code generators to generate the database, the application code (MDA)

To design applications in such way that they are easy to adapt for business requirements changes

• Adopt Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)

• Use Business Process Modeling, UML Modeling and Data Modeling together

To improve collaboration and team work

• Use an Integrated Modeling tool that supports requirements management, impact analysis, change management

• Use a repository to store models and manage versions

10. Typical Application Development Cycle

MajorModeling Techniques Data Modeling ( E/R ) Object Modeling (UML) Business Process Modeling (emerging standards) IT users Analysts, Designers DBAs IT users Analysts, Designers Developers Business users CIOs Integrated Modeling = PowerDesigner Three modeling markets converging 15. Methodological Approaches Source: Gartner

Data Oriented (E/R, DFD)

Object-Oriented ( UML )

Business Process Oriented (BPA)

16. Gartner says: The Modeling Techniques are Converging

Gartner research note December 2003

Strategic Planning, SPA-21-5951 - M. Blechar

• Predicts 2004:BPA, UML and Data Modeling Converge Techniques such as business process analysis are converging to provide technical architects, business modelers, developers and database designers consistency, productivity and quality via reuse and code automation.

• Vendors such asSybase (PowerDesigner)and offer single products that span all three markets. Most UML modeling tool vendors already have some BPA and database design support in their tools, and vice versa.

Application development phases

Best practices with PowerDesigner

27. Types of Application Development

There are many types of application development

• Create a new web application

• Create a newclient/ server application

• Improve an existing application to fit business requirements

• Modify existing application and create new application to support SOA

Each type of application development may use different development process

28. Software Engineering Processes

A software engineering process defines:

• The software development workflow

• The models and documents to produce in each step

• Models and documents templates and how to define the models and documents

PowerDesigner does not provide a process like Rational Unified Process (RUP)

Each customer could adopt a particular process or best practice for his own needs
