Data Flow Diagram for Services
August 25, 2008 at 8:28 am by Doug Barry | 1 Comment »

While correcting the defects noted earlier, I added an option for the display of data flow diagrams. This option displays data flow diagrams from bottom to top. This is the way many of us think of services in a service-oriented architecture (SOA). Previously, the only display option for data flow diagrams was from left to right. To get the bottom to top display, select the radio button next to “Data Flow Diagram for Services” on the Matrix page. Note: if you see rectangles instead of circles in the display, you will need to close and reload your browser.

Two Defects Identified
August 8, 2008 at 5:27 am by Doug Barry | 1 Comment »

Two defects in the Decomposition Matrix have been identified:

  1. Sometimes sub-processes are accumulated too aggressively.
  2. Sometimes data flow diagrams can cause a Java run-time error when the graphics display.

Both defects are being investigated and will be  repaired.
