The seminar administrator reviewed these three diagrams and asked the BA to create a fourth diagram to model the various levels that a trainee goes through (e.g., white belt to yellow belt yellow belt to green belt etc). What modeling technique will the BA use to create this diagram?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
The modeling technique that the BA will use to create this diagram is state modeling, as it is used to represent the dynamic behavior of an entity or a system over time. A state model shows the possible states that an entity can have, the events or conditions that trigger a change from one state to another, and the actions or outcomes that result from a state change. A state model can help to illustrate the various levels that a trainee goes through in a martial arts seminar, such as white belt, yellow belt, green belt, etc., and the criteria or requirements for advancing to the next level.
