Hi guys!
I just started working on my solution for Part II of SCEA (Factory Homes), and I really need to hurry up to submit
it until August 01, 2011... So I decided to dive into forum and ask questions here, in hope to get more correct and fast
answers (comparing to looking for information elsewhere, e.g. "eating" more books).
1. I have read Cade and Sheil book, and their solution to Part II is quite simple and easy. They claim, however, that it is
WORKING solution. So, if I understood correctly, no need to dive into much details and overdesign? Am I right?
2. Cade and Sheil shows LDAP and Email servers (along with two more external systems) on their Component Diagram
depicted as nodes. I'm using Astah Community to draw UML diagrams, and there is NO such element as node in Component
Diagram. I wonder, should I really mention external systems in my Component Diagram, and if so, which approach to take?
Essentially, those external systems ARE parts of SuD as a whole, so, IMHO, I sould draw them on as common components.
Am I right?
3. In my assignment (Factory Homes) I need to build system using which customers should be able to assemble their
own house. The question is: should I consider things such as graphical drawing tool in my design? E.g., specification says users
can add walls to design, however, no mention about how those walls are assembled together... I'm quite unsure there, and
I really don't want to overdesign my solution... Please guide me into right direction.
I will be VERY thankful for guides and suggestions, guys! Thanks in advance!
