Agile & Modeling new way of life!

Nice title, isn’t it? I’d like to share the idea that we can associate agile project management and software development  practices (two different things!) to build sustainable software. In doing this, the sustainable artifacts would be source code AND analysis

Business logic’s paradox: the barber’s story

Inspired by Model practice’s last posts I will try to illustrate a business logic’s paradox on the barber’s paradox taken as a business rule The barber’s paradox: “The barber shaves only those men in town who do not shave themselves!

I read the MDA Guide v 1.0.1

Just reading the title of this post you know I’m kidding. This founding OMG’s MDA guide is unreadable by a human being ;D. However, even if skipping a lot of sections, it’s interesting enough to worth reading it as it

What is the focus of analysis: problem or solution?

This post is my shifted comment on Rafael’s post & discussion. Rafael talks about analysis vs design in the software life-cycle, where problem is the requirement and solution the software to build. First of all, IT or not, any answer

Modeling/Programming: Art or Science?

The story begins with two quotes from Paul Valéry’s work I put on Twitter: “What is simple is always false. What is not simple is useless” (1) “There is science for simple matters and art for complicated matters” (2) My

UML is a standard… Which one?

Nice live discussion with @edseidewitz last week, with some good wine! One subject was UML: past, present and future. UML became a standard: what does that mean? Let’s see OMG’s web site: “The Unified Modeling Language™ – UML – is OMG’s

MDA/MDD: don’t round-trip!

In MDE life-cycle, round-trip engineering means ability to update a model based on source code reverse modeling. Funny practice: as the source code is issued from this model during the generation step, it’s a kind of “shoe is on the
