Agile Modelling

Zusatztext XP (Extreme Programming) hat in der Software Development Community jetztfür ähnlichen Aufruhr gesorgt! wie Design Patterns vor ein paar Jahren.Zwar ist XP eine Methodik zur schnelleren Softwareentwicklung! aber siegibt dem Entwickler nicht genügend Modellierungszeit! die jedoch wichtigist! um sicherzustellen! dass ein Projekt die gewünschten Anforderungenauch erfüllt. Darüber hinaus funktionieren Standard-Modellierungstechnikenauf der Basis von UML (Unified Modeling Language) häufig nicht mit XP.In diesem innovativen Buch präsentiert Software Development Kolumnist ScottAmbler Agile Modeling (AM) - ein Verfahren! das er speziell für die Modellierungvon XP-Projekten entworfen hat und das Teile von UML und RUP (Rational'sUnified Process) einsetzt. Ambler erklärt anhand zahlreicher Fallstudienanschaulich! was AM ist und wie Software-Experten AM! UML und RUP in ihreEntwicklungsprojekte einbinden können. Die begleitende Website (www.agilemodeling.com)bietet Updates! Links zu XP- und AM-Resources sowie laufende Fallstudienzum Agile Modeling. Informationen zum Autor SCOTT W. AMBLER is President and a senior consultant of Ronin International (www.ronin-intl.com), a software services consulting firm that specializes in software process mentoring and object/component-based software architecture and development. Scott is the author and/or coauthor of numerous books and also coeditor, with Larry Constantine, of the Unified Process series from CMP Books. Scott is a contributing editor with Software Development magazine and a columnist with IBM developerWorks. Scott has spoken at UML World, Software Development, OOPSLA, Object Expo, Java Expo, and Application Development. Klappentext "In Agile Modeling, Scott Ambler captures the spirit of skillfully applying the UML, patterns, and more-the balance between too much and too little." -Craig Larman Extreme Programming (XP) and the Unified Process (UP) have both caused quite a sensation in the software development community. Although XP offers a methodology for faster software development, many developers find that it does not explicitly include modeling time, which is crucial to ensure that a project meets its proposed requirements. UP developers, on the other hand, have found that the UP approach to modeling is too documentation-intensive and top heavy, thus impeding progress. Enter Agile Modeling (AM)-- a unique methodology specifically designed to enhance your modeling efforts on software development projects. In this innovative book, Scott Ambler reviews how to: * Model on an XP project without detracting from its fast-moving and agile software development approach * Simplify the modeling disciplines/workflows of the UP without losing any of the true benefits of those disciplines * Use modeling to explore an issue or to facilitate communication * Effectively apply the UML, and extend it with other methodologies, to meet your real-world development needs * Reduce the documentation burden on your project by writing agile documents * Use simple modeling tools, such as index cards and whiteboards, and know when to use complex CASE tools * Rethink your approach to work areas, modeling teams, and modeling sessions The companion Web site includes updates to the book, links to XP and AM resources, and ongoing case studies about AM.

Because XP is fast-moving software development, modeling an XP project needs to be quick as well. Tra...
