Study Notes
Identifying Domain Classes and Associations in Systems Analysis
- Techniques for identifying domain classes include a checklist brainstorming technique and the noun technique
- The brainstorming technique involves identifying a user and use cases, then systematically asking questions to identify potential things involved in carrying out the use case
- The noun technique involves identifying problem domain classes by refining a list of nouns that come up in discussions or documents
- It is a popular technique and a good starting point when there are no users available to help brainstorm
- Domain classes have attributes and associations, and associations are naturally occurring relationships among classes
- Attributes describe one piece of information about each instance of the class
- An identifier or key uniquely identifies an instance of the class, and there are compound attributes
- Associations can be binary, unary (recursive), ternary, or N-ary, and they are "using" relationships between objects with their own lifetimes
- Associations have minimum and maximum multiplicity, and they apply in two directions with constraints
- The chapter focuses on modeling functional requirements as part of systems analysis
- The "things" in the problem domain are identified and modeled as domain classes or data entities
- The two techniques for identifying domain classes/data entities are the brainstorming technique and the noun technique
