Stages

SpecificAnalysis - Understanding the Problem - (Initial) Knowledge Crunching

From Analysis to Design - Building the Domain Model

Refining the Analysis and Design - Subdomains and Bounded Contexts

Design - Software Architecture

Prototype implementation

Analysis - Understanding the Problem - (Initial) Knowledge Crunching and Requirements Definition

Writing down some user stories
Doing event storming
- using a E-Scooters EventStorming Miro board
Formulating a first version of Ubiquitous language (UL)
Defining use cases
- using StarUML
- using Visual Paradigm

DELIVERABLES

From Analysis to Design

Building a first domain model, including an implementation
- Representing the domain model in UML (Class Diagrams)
  - using StarUML
Defining the UI and UX (not discussed in this course)

DELIVERABLES

A description of the domain model
An implementation of the domain model in any Object-Oriented language (e.g. Javascript, Python)
UI mocks

Refining the Analysis and Design: Subdomains and Bounded Contexts

Refining the Analysis: Decompose the domain in subdomains
Refining the Design: Identify Bounded Contexts and the Context Map

DELIVERABLES

Bounded Contexts description
Context Map

Design - Software Architecture

Defining the Software Architecture of the system
- Focusing on layered architectures and microservices
Using UML to represent the structure and behaviour of the system
- Components and Connectors structure -- UML component diagram
- Module structure -- UML Class diagram
- Allocation structures -- UML Deployment diagram

DELIVERABLES

A high-level description of the Software Architecture
UML diagrams

Prototype implementation and deployment

Selecting a core subset of the architecture and implement a prototype, capturing key aspects and functionalities

DELIVERABLES

Prototype source code and deployment instruction.
