Overview of this book

Agile MBSE can help organizations manage constant change and uncertainty while continuously ensuring system correctness and meeting customers’ needs. But deploying it isn’t easy. Agile Model-Based Systems Engineering Cookbook is a little different from other MBSE books out there. This book focuses on workflows – or recipes, as the author calls them – that will help MBSE practitioners and team leaders address practical situations that are part of deploying MBSE as part of an agile development process across the enterprise. Written by Dr. Bruce Powel Douglass, a world-renowned expert in MBSE, this book will take you through important systems engineering workflows and show you how they can be performed effectively with an agile and model-based approach. You’ll start with the key concepts of agile methods for systems engineering, but we won’t linger on the theory for too long. Each of the recipes will take you through initiating a project, defining stakeholder needs, defining and analyzing system requirements, designing system architecture, performing model-based engineering trade studies, all the way to handling systems specifications off to downstream engineering. By the end of this MBSE book, you’ll have learned how to implement critical systems engineering workflows and create verifiably correct systems engineering models.

Model-based testing

If you agree that modeling brings value to engineering, then model-based testing (MBT) brings similar value to verification. To be clear, MBT doesn't limit itself to the testing of models. Rather, MBT is about using models to capture, manage, and apply test cases to a system, whether or not that system is model-based. In essence, MBT allows you to do the following:

  • Define a test architecture, including a test context, test configuration, test components, the System Under Test (SUT), arbiter, and scheduler.
  • Define test cases, using sequence diagrams (most commonly), activity diagrams, state machines, and code.
  • Define test objectives.

Bringing the power of a model to bear the problems developing test architectures, defining test cases, and then performing the testing is compelling. This is especially true when applying it with a tool like Rhapsody, which provides such strong simulation and execution facilities.

While MBT can be informally...
