Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Analyse the behaviour of objects	1.1 Analyse behaviour scenarios and the prepare documentation, according to standards 1.2 Identify classes, objects and abstract data types, according to requirements 1.3 Prepare class, object, module and process diagrams, according to specifications
2. Prepare a state model	2.1 Analyse data requirements and iterate data flows 2.2 Prepare state-transition diagrams, according to standards 2.3 Improve the abstract data types and specifications
3. Describe the roles and responsibilities of classes	3.1 Review the functional requirements, assign responsibilities and update class structures 3.2 Specify the interface and class communication requirements 3.3 Prepare the interaction diagrams, according to standards
4. Iterate and review the object model	4.1 Review the current object model, class functionality and data transformation 4.2 Identify and develop class relationships, priorities, and the inheritance hierarchy 4.3 Review the class-service requirements and initial test criteria 4.4 Identify object processes and reuse classes 4.5 Document the model and forward it to the appropriate person
