Introduction to HOPEX System Blueprint
The aim of HOPEX System Blueprint is to assist architects in specification of applications by describing their behavior within enterprise IT architecture. Advanced product functions are illustrated by the example of a purchase request processing application.
HOPEX System Blueprint is designed to allow you to:
• Apply service-oriented architecture principles.
• Implement business process automation tools in the creation of applications.
• Prepare a specification.
• Integrate user interface design in analysis of services.
Specifying IS evolution projects with HOPEX System Blueprint allows you to:
• Describe a project and its application environment.
• Create project component use cases.
• Build a specification of services for each application and their interfaces as seen by users.
• Have this specification validated by future users as it is developed.
• Describe organization of communications between services using interaction scenarios
• Describe detailed sequence of tasks completed on execution of the application.
• Describe the data model associated with an application system.
• Generate reports enabling analysis of the different system design phases.
