The Context Diagram

Leave a Comment / Modeling, Modeling Concepts / Leila

I often get asked, “What is a context diagram?” As a tech enthusiast, I love explaining this concept. A context diagram, in essence, defines the scope of a system. It draws a clear line between what’s inside and outside the system’s boundary. This makes it easier to understand the system’s interactions with external entities.

What is Context Modeling?

Leave a Comment / Modeling, Modeling Fundamentals / Fred

As a tech enthusiast, I’ve often pondered, “What is context modeling?” Let’s dive into it together. Context modeling is a crucial aspect of requirements engineering. It’s about understanding the environment of a system. When developing a complex and critical system, grasping its context becomes vital. Essentially, context modeling involves recognizing which other systems impact the system under development. Additionally, it involves identifying the roles or individuals who interact with it.
