5 Part 5: V-Modell Reference Work Products

5.1 Introduction

5.1.4 Notes Concerning the Display in the V-Modell Reference

The following paragraphs will explain the display concepts relevant for the V-Modell Reference Work Products in detail. This is particularly important for understanding the chapter »Overview of the Product Model of the V-Modell; this chapter provides a graphical presentation of the assignment of products to disciplines and the connection between the products as established by structural and generative product dependencies.

The assignment to disciplines is displayed analogously to the presentation in the »V-Modell Reference Tailoring .

Structural product dependencies structure products and relate them to each other. This leads basically to the three possibilities shown in Figure Abbildung 1.

Based on an initial product, a generative product dependency describes a condition; when this condition occurs, a target product must or can be be generated. Depending on the situation, this V-Modell Reference describes two different display types for generative product dependencies, which however are completely equivalent.
