The Unified Software Development Process ReviewAfter mastering the Unified Modeling Language, it's a natural progression to apply UML in a documented and time-tested process. That's what the creators of UML set out to describe in this third book of the UML-Big-Three, "The Unified Software Development Process."
Getting through this book will be challenging, though. You'll be thirsty not for more material, but a glass of water by the time you're done. It is bone-dry.
The Unified process has five workflows (requirements, analysis, design, build, test) that repeat within four phases (inception, elaboration, construction, transition). There are unfortunately huge chapters devoted to each of the workflows and each of the phases separately, with only a smaller amount of material focusing on how the process is actually done, which is each workflow occuring in the context of each phase. As a result, the book seems a lot bigger than it needs to be. (I'm not panning the process, though, which does indeed work, just the presentation.)
There's a running example through the text of building an automated teller application. While running examples help unify ideas, they show a narrow view of how the process can work in practice. In applying the process to my projects, it's difficult to translate such a financial application to my work (which is scientific and library-based in nature). I'd like to see a lot more examples that give alternative viewpoints in addition to the running example that demonstrates the process as a whole.
Unlike the other two books of the Big-Three, the diagrams in this one are the best. They're clean, consistent, and easy to read, and there are a lot of them. It's professionally typeset and each page is pretty.
What we need is a book similar to Fowler's "UML Distilled" called "Unified Process Distilled." The process is great---it just shouldn't take 500 pages to describe it.The Unified Software Development Process Overview
