RM2DM

Introduction

RM2DM is a tool for automatic generation of OO design model from requirements models. The benefits of RM2DM are as follows:

  1. Automatic generation of the class diagram. RM2DM can generate fabricated classes, decompose the system operations into primitive operations and encapsulate primitive operations into classes. The class diagram describes the design of the static structure of the system.
  2. Automatic generation of sequence diagrams. RM2DM can generate sequence diagrams for each system operation based on system sequence diagrams and system operation contracts. Unlike system sequence diagrams that describe the interactions between users and the system, sequence diagrams illustrate the dynamic behavioral design inside the system in terms of how objects within the system collaborate to accomplish system operations.

RM2DM Tutorial

Prerequest

In order to generate the documentation, you need a requirements model, the RM2PT project. For creating or importing a RM2PT project，you can see the tutorial here. We recommend importing RM2PT projects from Git, which is avaliable at CaseStudies. The tutorial is here.

Generate Design Model

Here we use CoCoME as an example.

After you import CoCoME requirements model from Git, you can generate the design model from the requirements model by right click on cocome.remodel -> RM2PT-Dev-> Generate Design Model

GenerateDesignModel

The generated design model is in the DesignModel folder
