Factory Homes Clarification - 3D Modelling Tool & Strong Visaul Feedback

[Dannyf Soon]

Hi Ranchers,

I've got question regarding the requirements for 3D Modelling Tool (a black box with xml as input and high quality model as output ) & Strong Visaul Feedback.

None of the use cases addresses these two requirements.

1. I think my component and deployment must adderess them.

2. But, for seqence diagram, can I just stick to the basic follow of uses cases and don't reflect the 3D modelling tool and visual feedback at all? Instead, I'll put as much description as possible in assumption to address them in detail. What do you think?

3. BTW, the use case only describes a successful path for an operation, e.g. "System checks for availability of the component". Can I only address that path in sequence diagram? Must I take care of the failure path or other alternative path as well?

Ranchers please share your opinion! Thanks!

Hi,
I'm doing this assignment, too. :-)
1. Yes, I think so, too.
2. I think you can, however I extended one of the use cases to do the 3d-rendering.
3. Good point. It won't be wrong to adress the failure path, but the sequence diagrams only give 16 points altogether, so I don't think one has to do it.

In which step did you do the 3d-rendering?

Almost all questions and responses on CodeRanch are welcome, however there are very specific rules for our SCJD and SCEA forums. These are spelt out in the SCJD specific rules, and the SCEA FAQ. More generic rules about certification issues are spelt out in our policy on real questions.

While I would be curious to see how the last question could be answered without violating the Sun/Oracle rules, I think that there is too much of a risk of a problem occurring here. I have therefore closed this topic.
