It teaches analysis and design, the use of UML, and the application of the concept of pattern in the context of the Unified Process. By presenting the case study in an iterative, risk-driven, architecture-centric process, Mr. Larman's advice has a realistic context. He exposes the dynamics of what really happens in software development and shows the external forces at play. The design activities are connected to other tasks, and they no longer appear as a purely cerebral activity of systematic transformations or creative intuition.
