Hi Friends,
I have received the congratulations email from Sun regarding my completion. Needless to say this forum has been of immense help during the assignment part (unfortunately I didnt join the forum for the first). THANKS!!!
now for some thoughts and suggestions if that will be of some help to future SCEAs.
part II
--------
1. kept it really simple - only one class diagram, didnt have even a single sequence diagram running to 3 screens.
2. The usual
JSF, SLSB, some MDBs and JPA (did not use SFSB).
3. Added a separate package diagram even though it was not called for - I didnt like the package diagram in the
SCEA guide (embedded into the class diagram).
4. Virtually no extra textual information other than the notes in the diagrams themselves.
5. Ofcourse I had lot of text for assumptions and a very elaborate risks and mitigation.
6. Used umlet eclipse plugin and png format for the digrams.
7. I was in a hurry so submitted it 1.5 weeks after I received the assignment. I had taken part III the day before the submission.
part III
--------
since it was open ended I found myself checking my answers until the end of time - so please manage your time sensibly for this one. Other than that it wasnt a big one if you had taken care of NFRs in your original design.
Thanks again folks!
