The assignment revolves around the Case Study, which may be found as a separate PDF document in the Resources section of the subject Interact site.

Objective

To apply and consolidate skills acquired in the requirement and analysis disciplines through analysis of a simple case study, and to express the results through the relevant UML diagrams.

Tasks

Part A - Use Cases (25 marks)

  1. Perform a requirements analysis for the Case Study. Express the results using the following artefacts:
    1. A use case diagram for the functional requirements of the entire system, accompanied by:
    2. Short use case descriptions for all use cases.
  2. Select the most essential (critical core) use case in the system, and produce a full use case description for it .
  3. Produce an activity diagram that expresses the workflow for that use case.

Part B - System-wide/Non-functional Requirements (15 marks)

  1. Produce a system-wide (non-functional) requirement document that documents the architectural requirements the system must address.

Part C - Use Case Realization (30 marks)

  1. Develop a domain model for the Case Study. Express your model with a class diagram, showing any inheritance and compositional relationships.
  2. Develop a use case realization showing the sequence of messages involved for the use case selected for the full description in Part A. Express this use case realization in a communication diagrams. Use the GRASP concept of a Controller class to coordinate the use case.
  3. Translate the communication diagram produced for Task 6 into an equivalent sequence diagram.

Part D - Analysis Classes(10 marks)

  1. Prepare a summary analysis class diagram showing the attributes and methods required by problem domain classes involved in the use case realized in Part C.

Part E - Object Interactions (10 marks)

  1. Prepare operation specifications for the two most complex methods contained in one of the nominated objects specified for the Case Study.

Part F - Object State (10 marks)

  1. Create a state diagram for the object chosen for Part E. Nominated objects will be listed in the Case Study.
