Abstract

A large number of analysis methods are used to analyse and document software problems. Among these, Michael Jackson's problem frames is an approach to identifying and describing recurring software problems. Data and business transactions are a recurrent software problem pattern in business and commerce systems. This paper demonstrates that problem frames can effectively capture and describe transactional problems. An extended version of the workpiece frame is proposed for this purpose. We found that problem frames can accommodate the critical transactional properties on diagrams and identify the difficulties associated with solving it.
