Delegates are taught how to identify and interpret use cases. They are then led through robust requirements elicitation using the Unified Modeling Language’s use case and sequence diagram notation before being introduced to the StatemateMAGNUM tool. Delegates then learn how the requirements, expressed in the use cases, are realised using the state based methodology.
Activity charts and statecharts are presented using domain specific examples before more advanced aspects such as the action language, minispecs, the role of the databank and the models structure are addressed.
The course is focused on interpreting the model and documentation produced from it. Delegates are introduced to the other EP/T toolsets as well as the fundamentals of how simulation is used in development, validation and verification of the model in support of testing.
