Summary

At this point, you should be familiar enough with the basics of Rose to follow the Rose examples and instructions in the remainder of this book.

There are four views within a Rose model:
∙	59

Chapter 2: A Tour of Rose

The Use Case view, which describes the system from the stakeholders' perspective

∙

The Logical view, which includes the classes, packages of classes, and other logical constructs within the system

∙

The Component view, which focuses on the physical layout of the files

∙

The Deployment view, which is concerned with the structure of the network on which the system will be deployed

Through these four views, the members of a project team should have a complete picture of the system, from a high level to a very detailed level. As we progress through this book, we will fill in the details of each of these four views.
