Software development can go in many different directions...
ICONIX Process has a long track record of helping companies avoid analysis paralysis on a multitude of projects, and is best suited for developing web and GUI-based systems. But what if your project has some other complexities? What if you're modeling business processes, or developing with web services, or designing an embedded hardware/software system?
Answer: Use one (or more) of the process roadmaps in this book!
This book contains a treasure-trove of tailored roadmaps, proven on demanding real-life projects:
- Business Process Modeling
- Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) web service orchestration with BPMN/BPEL
- Embedded hardware/software systems designed with SysML
- Design Driven Testing of SysML Models; and
- Algorithmically complex systems
This book will guide you through these roadmaps, illustrating their use by example. From the author of Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML.
Includes "20 Terabytes a Night: Designing the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope's Image Processing Pipeline."
If you're looking for a "cookbook methodology", i.e. a step-by-step guide on how to create logical designs, this book provides exactly that. It's based on the proven and agile ICONIX Process, an object-oriented analysis and design process which illustrates how to get from use cases to well-designed source code and tests in a minimal number of steps.
The Roadmaps
In addition to the "Use Case Driven" ICONIX Process, ICONIX roadmaps now include:
* ICONIX Process for algorithm-intensive systems (described in "20 Terabytes a Night")
* ICONIX Process for Embedded Systems (described in the "SysML" section of the book)
* ICONIX Process for Web Services (described in "SOA" chapter 3)
* ICONIX Process for Business Rules (described in "SOA" chapter 4)
* ICONIX Process for Test (described in the new book Design Driven Testing by Matt Stephens and Doug Rosenberg, available from Apress)
