Rational Unified Process(Rup)
- 1. Rational Unified Process(RUP) Focusing on Nine Disciplines of RUP By. Pawan Kumar
- 3. The Business Modeling Discipline The goal is to understand the business of the organization, usually confined to the scope of the business that is relevant to the system being developed. Working closely with project stakeholders, you will: Assess the current status of the organization, including your ability to support a new system Explore the current business processes, roles, and responsibilities Identify and evaluate potential strategies for reengineering the business processes Develop a domain model which reflects that subset of your business
- 4. The Requirements Discipline The goal is to elicit, document, and agree upon the scope of what is and what is not to be built. This information is used by analysts, designers, and programmers to build the system, by testers to verify the system, and by the project manager to plan and manage the project. Activities of the Requirements discipline include: Working closely with project stakeholders to understand their needs Defining the scope of the system. Exploring usage, business rules, the user interface, and technical (non-functional) requirements via appropriate modeling techniques Identifying and prioritizing new or changed requirements as they are identified throughout a project
- 5. The Analysis and Design Discipline The goal is to analyze the requirements for the system and to design a solution to be implemented, taking into consideration the requirements, constraints and all applicable standards and guidelines. Critical activities of this discipline include: Formulating, and then defining, a candidate architecture for a system Constructing a proof-of-concept, or spike, to validate a candidate architecture Understanding (analyzing) the requirements for the system Design of components, services, and/or modules Network, user interface, and database design
- 6. The Implementation Discipline The goal is to transform the design into executable code and to perform a basic level of testing, in particular unit testing. Primary activities include: Understanding and evolving the design model Writing program source code Implementing components, services, and/or modules Unit testing source code Integrating the code into subsystems and/or a deployable build
- 7. The Test Discipline The goal is to perform an objective evaluation to ensure quality. This includes finding defects, validating that system works as designed, and verifying that the requirements are met. Critical activities include: Defining and planning testing efforts Developing test cases Organizing test suites Running tests Reporting defects
- 8. The Deployment Discipline The goal is to plan for the delivery of the system and to execute the plan to make the system available to end users. Activities within this discipline include: Planning the deployment strategy Developing support and operations material Creating deployment packages Organizing alpha/beta/pilot testing efforts Deploying software to installation sites Training end users Managing acceptance testing efforts
- 9. The Configuration and Change Management Discipline The goal is to manage access to the project’s work products. This includes not only tracking versions over time but also controlling and managing changes to them. Critical activities of this discipline include: Managing change requests Planning configuration control Setting up the CM environment Monitoring and reporting configuration status Changing and delivering configuration items Managing baselines and releases
- 10. The Project Management Discipline The goal is to direct the activities that take place on the project. This includes managing risks, directing people (assigning tasks, tracking progress, etc.), and coordinating with people and systems outside the scope of the project to be sure that it is delivered on time and within budget. Critical activities include: Initiating a new project Managing project staff Enhancing the relationship with external teams and resources Risk management Estimating, scheduling, and planning Managing an iteration Closing out a phase or project
- 11. The Environment Discipline The goal is to support the rest of the effort in terms in ensuring that the proper process, guidance(standards and guidelines), and tools (hardware, software, etc.) are available for the team as needed. The critical activities of this discipline are: Tailoring the process materials for an individual project team Identifying and evaluating tools Installing and setting up tools for the project team Supporting the tools and process throughout a project
