This chapter continues the discussion of diagrams by focusing on techniques used to represent and manage system logic. In the traditional FO paradigm, decisions are represented and analyzed by use of structured language (pseudo-code), decision tables or decision trees. In the more contemporary OO paradigm, the traditional methods are still applicable, but in addition to system rules. The main challenge is the identification of these decision issues; they ...
