Mike Prestwood	1. Actor (PSDP Online) In PSDP Online, an actor is a UML Actor, role, or person that interfaces with the system you are building. When establishing actors of your system, do not think in terms of a specific person, think in terms of their role. Do not name an actor the name of the person filling the role. If Bob is our Sales Clerk, name your actor Sales Clerk (not Bob). Posted to KB Topic: PSDP Analysis 5 years ago	Definition 3398 Hits
Mike Prestwood	2. Have Client Sign Requirements When youre finishing an application for a client, nothing is more frustrating than the client telling you that the application is all wrong. Do yourself a favor: During or shortly after the planning stage, be sure to echo to the client what you heard him or her say. Also consider putting your general plan in writing and have both you and your client sign it. This approach makes you a more professional consultant. 6 years ago, and updated 59 months ago	Tip 3253 Hits
