Paper #2 due by 5pm.  Sample questions to write on :

 

1. Discuss if UML is a good mental artifact. Consider its role as a way to extend our mental capacities, as suggested in the text.

 

2. Does software provide good artifacts? If so, in what way? If not could it?

 

3. Discuss the role that an IDE has in software development. What kind of metaphor does it provide?

 

These questions are really all related. For instance, if you believe that an IDE is a useful artifact, an IDE itself is a piece of software. If we consider that artifacts may be combined to produce further artifacts, we might consider an IDE+UML as one larger artifact.
