Develop a large software with IBM Rational

1
Develop a large software with IBM Rational

• Software EngineeringSemester Project
• Chih-Hong Jeng Farn Wang
• fall 2006

2
Outline

• Some requirements toward this project
• Unified Modeling Language (UML)
• IBM Rational Rose
• Some installation guidelines (Some problem
  discovered by us also stated)
• Conclusions

3
What should I do to get an A ? (I)

• Find two partners, form a software development
  team.
• Give your team a name! (Funky DoFu, Big Duck,
  Cowxcom similar to Foxxcom )
• Mail to TA about your team name, members, IDs
  before 10/3.
• Make a user-requirement about the large software
  you are going to construct.
• The size of the project must be approved by the
  professor.
• Make sure your understand UML, the software
  development process, the interface of Rational
  Rose, and programming (either in Java or C).

4
What should I do to get an A ? (II)

• Start your software development process.
• Find the user requirements. Describe them in
  natural languages, tables and easy charts. (????
  0.5th month)
• Beware that User no nothing about UML!
• Based on the user requirements, express system
  requirements by means of object-oriented
  requirements analysis.
• UML is now introduced, and use Rational Rose to
  help you construct all models.
• Here a checkpoint is given to examine your
  progress. (???? 1st month)

5
What should I do to get an A ? (III)

• Continue your software development process.
• With the aid of Rational Rose, you can generate
  part of the Java/ C codes from the UML
  diagrams.
• Note that Rational Rose only helps you construct
  the shape, you still have to implement the method
  by yourself!
• Here you may use various free/commercial tools
  (free Borland JBuilder Fundation) to complete
  the work.
• Also, use testing tools offered by IBM to test
  your code.
• Testing should be done in a more systematic way!
• Unit testing, integration testing, system
  testing, performance testing
• Here two other checkpoints are given to examine
  your progress.
• Coding and Unit testing (???? 2nd month)
• System and Performance Testing (???? 3rd month or
  later)

6
What should I do to get an A ?

• A final presentation demonstrating your software
  is needed.
• You have to write manuals to let everyone try
  your software! (In end of semester)
• Also, each group has to choose one tool in IBM
  Rational to introduce to members in class.
• This constitutes part of the score. (In end of
  semester)

IBM Rational Installation Guidelines

• First, visit IBM Academic Initiative as your
  first stop. http//www.304.ibm.com/jct09002c/unive
  rsity/scholars/academicinitiative/
• Register yourself to obtain IBM ID and password.
• This can be done immediately.
• You can hence download the software from the
  website.
• Download IBM Rational Rose Enterprise as your
  basic development platform
• Of course there are a lot of tools, download all
  you need.
• You may also download floating license server.

IBM Rational Installation Guidelines

• In order to obtain register key for all software,
  you have to register as a member of IBM academic
  program (different from the first time)
• You have to inform yourself as a member of NTU.
• A lab. webpage containing your information is
  also required.
• The registration will be checked within 57 days,
  and will reply you an email with password to
  enter the license key center.
• TA I got mine in less than 8 hours
• Follow the instructions in the webpage to
  download the key.

Some problems that TA faced

• There are at most 500 registration keys in NTU,
  so please take the exact number what you need.
• If everyone get 30 floating license, then the
  later users may have none!
• If theres problem in importing key into your SW,
  you may
• Reinstall your SW
• Install floating license server on other
  computer, and obtain floating license from that
  server.
• Install floating license server on your own
  computer.

TA will offer office hours

• Every Friday 13001400
• Want to discuss at other time, please mail to him
  separately.
• _at_BL618, verification automation lab.
• You can mail to TA if you have problems
• But TA cant guarantee that I can solve it (TA
  Im sorry?)
• TA may consult others for help.
• Email r94921104_at_ntu.edu.tw
