February 2008 The ICONIX Business Modeling Roadmap While ICONIX primarily provides training and consulting to software projects
and organizations, we occasionally are requested to provide guidance to companies
who are modeling business processes. In many cases, these business process
engineering efforts are a precursor to software system design, and there is
a natural desire to maximize commonality between the business modeling process
and the software design process which will subsequently followed, which is often
ICONIX Process. December 22 2007 Sequence diagramming that's fit for purpose In this, the final part of our series of excerpts from Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML: Theory and Practice Matt Stephens and Doug Rosenberg show you how to draw lean, purposeful sequence diagrams that are driven from the use cases and preliminary design. More... December 14 2007 Close the gap between analysis and design To get from use cases to detailed design (and then to code), you need to link your use cases to objects. The technique we describe in this chapter, robustness analysis, helps you to bridge the gap from analysis to design by doing exactly that. More... November 23 2007 In this, the second of four installments, the duo show you how to write useful use cases so the design, work estimates and tests flow logically out of each use case. More... November 13 2007 The ICONIX Process in pieces: Domain modelling In this, the first in a series of four excerpts from Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML: Theory and Practice Matt and Doug introduce domain modeling and challenge you to think in models. More... June 2007 Java developers using the Eclipse environment can have a "pre-fabricated development process" delivered to them using the Eclipse Process Framework (EPF). Until recently, process options available in this format were mostly limited to a Unified/RUP option, and an eXtreme Programming (XP) option. March 2007 Using the ICONIX Process Roadmap by Doug Rosenberg Beginning with Version 6.5, Build 801, Enterprise Architect includes a startup option to install an ICONIX Process Roadmap and an ICONIX Skeleton Project upon creating a new project. This white paper explains how to use these capabilities, which facilitate the use of a lightweight, agile, use case driven UML development process Here's a link to Matt Stephens' article series: " The Agile Iconoclast " in The Register. July 2006 Model/Code Synchronicity: The UML Holy Grail --- found at last? Since the beginning of modeling time, the gap (sometimes a chasm) between models and code has always been problematic. Models, the argument goes, don't represent reality…only the code represents reality…therefore the model must be worthless, and we should just skip modeling and jump straight to code. Those who have used this argument to avoid modeling probably felt quite safe in doing so because nobody has ever managed to make “reverse engineering” or “round-trip engineering” a very seamless process…until now. The innocuously named “MDG Integration” product from Sparx Systems (a companion product to the Enterprise Architect modeling tool) changes the whole equation.
