Behavioral Decomposition:
- Behaviors are an action, force, process, or control that is exerted on or by a structure with respect to the structure's external environment.
- In the case that only a portion of a design (a sub-design) is under consideration, other sub-designs constitute a portion of the external environment for the behavior under consideration.
Structural Decomposition:
- Structures are physical components, logical objects, attributes, fields, or arrangements of other structures within a design.
- Structures typically answer the question of
what
in a design, and are typically described using nouns and adjectives.
