Architecture Without Big Design Up Front

This should be watched in full.




This is us!

Demoing an application called architecture explorer.
This is a feature of vs 2010.



First creates a project dependcy graph.



Can do the same thing with classes.

Sometimes you want to look at the text free shape to notice things like a death star (one class that all other classes point to and circle around).

Architecture explorer can create uml activity diagrams from the code.

Use the diagrammimg tool to find problems by looking at pattern of diagram.

Full blown uml.

These views and models are focused on visializing what is happening at all levels. You can use it to troubleshoot why a bug is happening or a unit test is failing.

Created a model project type in vs for creating uml diagrams to think about design.
Uml diagram in model project is disconnected from the code.
All uml is uml 2.4. Microsoft joined the omg.

Need to watch the lap around Rosario session.

Diagrams will be able to be linked to tts items.
You can link in documents to use case diagrams.

There are some really cool features here. You should watch the entire presentation since most of it is demos.






Microsoft is taking this on to capture the information created during design and to facilitate the sharing of information.

Time to use 2010!
