Modeling system interactions is important for which of the following reasons? Select all that apply.

Modeling system-to-system interaction highlights communication problems that may arise

Modeling component interaction helps assess whether a proposed system structure is likely to deliver the required performance and dependability

Interaction models replace the need for any other type of system model

User interaction modeling helps to identify user requirements

Interaction modeling generates executable source code automatically

Correct Answer

(1) User interaction modeling helps to identify user requirements

(2) Modeling system-to-system interaction highlights communication problems that may arise

(3) Modeling component interaction helps assess whether a proposed system structure is likely to deliver the required performance and dependability

Explanation

Interaction modeling serves three distinct purposes: (1) User interaction modeling identifies user requirements; (2) System-to-system interaction modeling highlights potential communication problems; (3) Component interaction modeling helps assess whether a proposed architecture will deliver the required performance and dependability. Interaction models do not generate code or replace other model types.
