Answer 1

Business Processing Model Notation (BPMN)

Question 2

its goal is to support business process modeling by providing

Answer 2

BPMN

Question 3

A trigger that starts, modifies, or completes a process. Event types include message, timer, error, compensation, signal, cancel, escalation, link, etc. An event can be classified as either “throwing” or “catching,” depending on their function.

Answer 3

Event

Question 4

A particular task performed by a person or system. It can include sub-processes, loops, multiple loops, and compensations.

Answer 4

Activity

Question 5

A decision point that can adjust the path based on conditions or events. A gateway can be exclusive or inclusive, parallel, complex, or based on data or event.

Answer 5

Gateway

Question 6

This shows the order of activities to be performed.

Answer 6

Sequence flow

Question 7

This depicts messages that flow across pools, or organizational boundaries such as departments. It should not connect events or activities within a pool.

Answer 7

Message flow

Question 8

This associates an artifact or text to an event, activity, or a gateway.

Answer 8

Association

Question 9

It represents major participants in a process. A different pool may be in a different company or department but still involved in the process.

Answer 9

Pool

Question 10

It is a sub-part of a pool. It shows the activities and flow for a certain role or participant, defining the accountability within the processes.

Answer 10

Lane

Question 11

This shows the necessary data for an activity.

Answer 11

Data object

Question 12

This shows a logical grouping of activities, but does not change the diagram’s flow.

Answer 12

Group

Question 13

This provides further explanation to a part of the diagram.

Answer 13

Annotation

Question 14

This involves internal processes to a specific organization and do not cross pools or organizational boundaries.

Answer 14

Private BP

Question 15

This occurs between a private BP and an external participant or process. This does not show the private BP itself.

Answer 15

Abstract BP

Question 16

This shows the interactions between two or more business entities.

Answer 16

Collaborative BP

Question 17

• This was created to establish a common, semantic, and syntactical visual modeling language for the architecture, design, and implementation of complex software systems both structurally and behaviorally (Lucid Software Inc., n.d.).

Answer 17

Unified Modeling Language (UML)

Question 18

• This is currently the most important industry-standard language for specifying, visualizing, constructing, and documenting software systems.

Answer 18

UML

Question 19

• It emerged from the combination of three (3) existing practices namely, the Booch Method, Object-Modeling Technique (OMT), and Objectory (Lankhorst, 2017).

Answer 19

UML

Question 20

• This is commonly used by programmers, but not generally used by database developers.

Answer 20

UML

Question 21

• The Object Management Group (OMG) oversees the definition and maintenance of the UML specifications, which provides engineers and programmers the ability to use one language for different purposes during all phases of the software lifecycle, for all system sizes (Lucid Software Inc., n.d.).

Answer 21

UML

Question 22

This concept involves use case diagrams, which describes system functionality from the point of view of a user.

Answer 22

Functional

Question 23

This concept involves class diagrams, which describes the structure of a system in terms of objects, attributes, associations, and operations.

Answer 23

Object

Question 24

This concept involves interaction diagrams, state machine diagrams, and activity diagrams, which are used to describe internal behavior of the system.

Answer 24

Dynamic

Question 25

It is a subset of a class diagram used to organize elements of a system into related groups.

Answer 25

Package diagram

Question 26

It describes the static structure of a system at a particular time, and can be used to test class diagrams for accuracy.

Answer 26

Object diagram

Question 27

This describes the organization of physical software components, including source codes, run-time code, and executables.

Answer 27

Component diagram

Question 28

This diagram shows the internal parts of a class.

Answer 28

Composite structure diagram

Question 29

This depicts the physical resources in a system, including nodes, components, and connections.

Answer 29

Deployment diagram

Question 30

This illustrates the dynamic nature of a system by modeling the flow of control from activity to activity.

Answer 30

Activity diagram

Question 31

This describes the interactions among classes in terms of an exchange of messages over time.

Answer 31

Communication diagram

Question 32

This models the functionalities of a system using actors and use cases, and can be considered as a simplified version of a collaboration diagram introduced in UML 2.0.
