maintenance model
A method of representing a program in a highly abstract way that is not source code and that is maintained over time, Keeps.
Synonyms are temporary model. Something created temporarily for design discussion or conversation.
What is a model?
In this context:.
Conversations.
A common understanding
Diagrams that are seen and not conversational are not good modeling.
In that sense, it is a schematic designed to assist communication when verbal or written communication is impractical.
Seems to me that this is often useful not just for software projects.
I learned the term from Modeling in the Agile Era.
Specifically, the following were proposed
architecture Package and class diagrams
domain model Class diagram, ER diagram
key use case
User perspective: Typical usage (user story) Use case diagram
Use case mechanism: description of what is done in the source code to realize the user story Communication diagram, sequence diagram
Reason for design
What is the first step in creating a maintenance model when the code exists but no maintenance model exists?
Creation of terminology dictionaries
Equivalent to a domain model
A description of what a word means in this project
The variation in this perception is
have trouble holding a conversation
Used in mixed meanings to interfere with source code search
Especially when the documentation is written in Japanese and the code is written in English, the correspondence can be mistaken, or a new translation can be implemented without realizing that there is a standard translation and be omitted from the search.
Not yet "illustrated" at the terminology dictionary stage.
As you describe the meaning of a term, it is explained by another term.
This is where the "relationship between terms" is verbalized.
It is a relationship between entities → ER diagram
Terms" and "concepts" at this stage do not necessarily correspond one-to-one to the class
ontology diagram.
It was suggested that Word frequency in source code be analyzed as a means of finding words that should be described in terms of meaning.
