Factory Home Domain Model Clarification

[Dannyf Soon]

Dear Ranchers,

Currently I'm working on the Factory Home assignment.

I think Component is Product too, like the house object. I made this conclusion based the UC-1 description as below:

" (after customer selects a specific component), System responds with the product detail and availability / applicability of the product, based on the current house design."

Here the word "product" appeared twice. Does it implay that the component is a product too? Agree?

The confusing domain module really gave me headache for a week. I'll appreciate any comments.

Looking forward to your response.

You are right. The wording of the usecase-1 can be confusing. I don't think product mention in uc-1 is the 'Product' from domain model. I think they are using the words product and component interchangeably to mean wall, foundation, roof, door, window in the domain model.

Thanks for you response! You're correct.

I'm working on it, too. And I think not only the UC-1 is confusing concerning the wording. I changed the domain model to meet my understanding and hope that's okay with the correctors. With the given domain model I could not work.

well, I simply considered the Product to be an Uncompleted Design Object.

Please see the thread regarding changing domain model where Jeanne suggested 'Personally, I would recommend against changing something that fundamental to the business.'

Thanks for the advice. But not changing the model means changing (at least the wording) of the use-cases. I don't think the given model captures the business FH does. On the other hand I'd like it better if I'd not have to change the model that much, so I'll think about it again.

i think, the product is the collection of components (floor,roof,wall,window doors) which is chosen by the customer during selecting the component from the categories.
USE CASE-1 is repeated several times for the selection of different components (floor,roof,wall,window doors) from different categories. and all comes in the product when selection of components is finished and thus remaining action is just to commit the selected components in the product to form a complete house design.
