Hi All,

Just a quick question to ask if there is any Sydney FDD SIG?

If not, would there be enough interest in getting one going?

My company is in the process of introducing FDD and I would find it interesting to be able to talk face-to-face to people who have gone through or are going through the same process.

Cheers

This article provides a basic overview of FDD.

I have a general question on implementation in the seperation of concerns model.

Having read the semi-finished paper on seperation of concerns in one of the other threads, I'm a little confused on some aspects of its implementation.

For example in my example simple PD, I have say these classes:

Customer <>--- Account <>--- Transaction

I have to deal with these "external" systems: a database, a message queue that will get me legacy information on all 3 objects.

I also have a "service locater" (or factory or whatever, you get what i mean :P) that will link my specific subsystem implementations to my problem domain interfaces.

Hello Jeff:

I have proposed the use of FDD approach for a project in my current organization. Moving from a traditional requirements development process I will appreciate if you can provide some details on the Non Functional requirements development process using FDD.

Thanks,

Can anyone recommend a good tool to manage / track features, feature sets, releases, etc.?

Hi Jeff,
I am sending you an attachment so that you can have a bit more clear idea about my current work. This is my research proposal. I need more specific problem and scope to work here. Could you suggest me anything?

Thank you.

I have a question regarding conversion work and how it is typically reported on FDD projects. We are currently developing a second release of an application that is already live. As such we have a small but none-the-less critical conversion activity that involves the creation of some conversion sql scripts and a mechanism to import conversion data from an external system by a batch process. Therefore there are several conversion activities that need to be done during the development phase to prepare these scripts/mechanisms ready for use on 'go live' day.

At the start of the project we derived PD, UI and SI features and didn't include conversion development activities in these lists.

Hi,

I've recently learned about FDD. We are currently working on the dependency view among all the features in a feature model and have developed an user interface for feature model and dependency model.

Now the idea that I wanted to explore is to use the use case to model functional features taken from the feature model. I want to define the use case in detail, I just identify use case associated to each feature. Afterwords this idea may be used to specify component. Like this..........
Feature model -> Functional features ->Use case -> Component

My questions are: 1) Is this something that could work? 2) What should be the intermediate phases? 3) What will happen to the Non-functional features?
