Abstract

Business analysts, software engineers and indeed anybody concerned in any way with the software development process refer to models in documents and conversations with colleagues. Often the nature of the conversation will be to make assertions about the model which they deem capable of being true or false. For example, it is not uncommon for an analyst to refer to a symbol on a diagram and state, ‘this is external to the system’ or even refer to another symbol and say, ‘this is the system’. Such statements do not appear to cause the analyst any pause for thought, and more often than not, this shared linguistic practice does not present problems and will likely be the basis of a successful conversation.
