feature
A feature is a property encapsulated, as part of a list, within a classifier.There are two types of features: behavioral features and structural features.
file
The term file is a stereotype attached to an artifact to signify that the artifact is a physical file of some kind.
A final node is a control node at which a flow within an activity stops. There are two kinds of final nodes: activity final nodes and flow final nodes.
final node
final state
A final state is a pseudostate that indicates that the execution of the enclosing composite state, or of an entire state machine, is complete.
Find Actors and Use Cases
Within the Unified Process, Find Actors and Use Cases is an activity within the Requirements workflow.
There are four steps involved in this activity:
 |
Finding the actors |
|
Finding the use cases |
|
Writing brief descriptions of each use case |
|
Describing the use case model |
fire
To fire a transition is to execute it.first
The term first refers to an OCL operation that returns the first element in a given OrderedSet or Sequence.flatten
The term flatten refers to an OCL operation that changes a Collection of Collections into a Collection of single objects..
flow
The term flow is a stereotype that signifies an information flow.A flow final node is a final node that terminates a flow within an activity.
flow final node
flow of events
Within the Unified Process, the term flow of events is a tag definition whose value contains a text description of a use case.
flow of events-analysis
Within the Unified Process, the term flow of events-analysis is a tag definition whose value contains a text description of a use case realization-analysis.
flow of events-design
Within the Unified Process, the term flow of events-design is a tag definition whose value contains a text description of a use case realization-design.
The term focus is a stereotype attached to a class to signify that the class provides some kind of primary logic or control flow supported by the logic and flow described by one or more auxiliary classes.
focus of control
A focus of control is a tall, thin rectangle on a sequence diagram, which sits on top of a lifeline, that shows the period of time during which the associated object has control.forAll
The term forAll refers to an OCL operation that returns True if a specified expression is true for all elements within a specified Collection.fork
A fork is a vertex within that splits one transition into two or more transitions.A fork node is a control node that splits a flow into multiple concurrent flows.
formal argument
The term formal argument is a synonym of parameter.framework
The term framework is a stereotype attached to a package to signify that the package represents an architectural pattern that provides an extensible template for applications within a domain.full descriptor
A full descriptor is the complete description of all of the attributes, operations, and associations belonging to a given instance.Note that this descriptor is implicit—in other words, there is no formal structure.
functional requirement
Within the Unified Process, a functional requirement is an action that the new system must be able to perform.functional view
The term functional view refers to the set of functions and operations that provide a system's functionality.The data flow diagram (DFD), which the UML does not directly support, is at the heart of the functional view.
