In software development, understanding requirements modeling concepts is crucial. Dive into the world of requirements modeling in the articles below! Understanding these requirements modeling concepts ensures a structured approach to system development, aligning the final product with stakeholder expectations.
Use Cases: how users will interact
User Stories: brief descriptions of features from the end user’s perspective
Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERDs): illustrate relationships between data entities
Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs): show the flow of data
Class Diagrams: represent the static structure of a system
Sequence Diagrams: depict interactions
State Diagrams: show the states an object can be in
Activity Diagrams: model the workflow of activities
Context Diagrams: provide a high-level view of the system
Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM): maps user requirements to test cases
Understanding the difference between a process and an algorithm is essential in both business and technology. I often come across situations where these terms interchange, but they describe fundamentally different concepts. In this article, I’ll explain the difference between process vs. algorithm and show how they can complement each other. What Is a Process? A […]
Have you ever wondered how successful companies stay organized and efficient? Well, today, I’m diving into the exciting world of business process management. Clearly understanding what is process management can truly transform the way you run your business. Let’s explore this essential topic together in greater detail!
When I first modeled business processes, I avoided complex gateways. Honestly, they looked intimidating. However, once I understood them, I realized how powerful they can be. In this post, I’ll show you what complex gateways do, when to use them, and how to model them with just a few BPMN elements. Let’s dive in.
I’ve often found process modeling to be incredibly useful in streamlining workflows. Therefore, understanding how to manage complex scenarios clearly is crucial. Today, I’ll dive deep into one powerful element in Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN): the event-based gateways in BPMN 2.0.
When I first learned about Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), I felt overwhelmed. After all, BPMN seemed complicated at first glance. However, I quickly realized it’s actually straightforward. In this post, I’ll simplify BPMN core elements for you. We’ll explore how events, tasks, and sequence flows work together in practical terms.
Have you ever stared at a process diagram and felt completely lost? Trust me, I’ve been there. Business processes often look simple at first glance. But when you dig deeper, things can get tricky. That’s exactly why understanding the process basic concepts is so important. Once you know the foundation, everything else becomes easier—faster, too. In this article, I’ll explain the ideas that help you truly understand how processes work. You’ll learn to recognize structure, follow flow, and spot problems before they grow.
When I first started modeling processes, I used various notations. Yet, once I switched to BPMN, something struck me. It was the participant perspective in BPMN. At first, it seemed confusing. But soon, I realized: everything comes down to perspective. Let me explain why this perspective is not just helpful—it’s essential.
In software development, I always look for ways to model the real world. One of the most powerful tools I use is object orientation. It helps me represent complex problems in a clear and structured way. But to work with this concept effectively, I first need to answer an important question: what are objects? Let me take you on a journey where I’ll explain how I think about objects, how I use them, and how they bring software systems to life. The focus is on the object name, status and behavior. I’ll keep it simple, clear, and engaging.
The function principle of object-orientation is a foundational idea in software design. It helps us build systems that reflect how real-world agents interact. Instead of focusing on isolated tasks or raw data, object-oriented design organizes behavior, state, and communication into encapsulated units called objects.
Today, object-oriented thinking shapes the way we build software and design systems. I work with it daily. And I see its value grow constantly. From Java to C++, this concept powers the digital solutions around us. Even more, it influences how I understand problems, not just how I write code. In this post, I’ll show
