Overview
This lecture is intended to introduce participants to the capabilities and practices needed for the administration of project teams using BridgePoint xtUML software. During this presentation two project structures will be emphasized: the monolithic structure often employed by small teams and the distributed project structure that emphasizes the use of inter-project references and is preferred by larger teams.
What You Will Learn
- What are the elements of an xtUML project?
- How are these elements structured in the host file system?
- What structure is applicable to small teams of modelers?
- What is an inter-project reference?
- What structure is recommended for larger teams?
- What are some common pitfalls?
- What are the recommended techniques for avoiding race conditions?
- What capabilities are available in Verifier that will help identify timing-related issues?
