Allocation of Behavior to the System’s Components

• Inside the system boundary, the deliverable system consists of a collection of cooperating component parts with a common goal. • The allocation process partitions the system-level conceptual behavior among the system’s internal component parts. • Must preserve the specified system behavior during the allocation process (functional/performance behavior). • Perform trial allocations to determine the best partitioning such that: • Behavior is preserved, and • Interfaces are not too complex to build

Partitioning System Behavior: “Trial Allocation”

• Determine partitioning strategy(ies). Examples: • Function • Existing components • Performance • Response time

• Testing implications • Interface complexity • Technology risks • Future performance requirements • Future technologies • Associate behaviors to components

• Explore many alternative partitions • Identify resulting internal interfaces • (i.e., Items flow between functions associated with different components)
