[Uml-devel] The best tool ever for modelling/validating for both developers and customers

[Rafael Fernández López]

Hi all,

I just wanted to clear my brain pipe of ideas here. I would love to work a bit 
on Umbrello. I've been thinking on something that would make the modelling 
process really easier.

We have the tool for modelling. Right. Now, some pieces of the puzzle are 
missing:

- As a developer, I would like to be able to query on my objects on the object 
diagram for their methods. This is something I have started today, but with 
no hurry, and that probably won't see the light, but I would like to give it 
a try. So this is what we call validation.

What would be hell interesting would be following this steps, doing something 
really amazing:

- When the developer has modelled the needs, the developer gives the customer 
the class diagram.

- Umbrello could be added a first screen asking "Are you a developer or are 
you a customer?". In this case our customer knows how to read and selects "I 
am a customer". He/She loads the class diagram that has been given from the 
development team.

- The magic: In a hell easy interface, the customer can draw use case scenes 
in which he/she can test if the model really does what he/she needs, with the 
option of saving the problematic cases, that he/she should send back to the 
developer for this one fixing the diagrams.

I think this would be hell nice for any company that wants to follow this way 
of development.

Ideas, comments ?


Bye,
