Based on a Case Study, students are expected to draw and discuss: An Analysis Class Diagram, a Communication Diagram, and a Sequence Diagram. Students are also expected to discuss and evaluate the usefulness of UML diagrams and a CASE tool during analysis and design.
Diagrams should be created in Enterprise Architect and inserted into a Word or PDF file to accompany the discursive aspect of the assignment.
University policies on late submission of coursework and plagiarism will be strictly adhered to this assignment.
This is an individual assignment. This part of the coursework represents 100% of the module mark. The marking schemes (the last two pages) indicate how marks are given for each aspect of the work.
Learning Outcomes (from module template)
1. Apply up to date structured techniques to produce analysis and/or design models for a given case study problem
2. Have a comprehensive understanding of the role of the systems analyst/ designer, the context in which the systems development activity takes place and the professional standards that are applied to the activity
Part 1
Based on the Wide World Tour Management System (attached as Appendix A), complete the following tasks: Part 1. Use Case Realisation for the ‘Approve Venue Invoice’ Use Case Analysis Class Diagram
a) In your own words, briefly describe what is meant by an Analysis Class Diagram, and how class diagrams can be useful in systems analysis and design.
b) Draw an Analysis Class Diagram for the ‘Approve Venue Invoice’ Use Case, using the Use Case description given. This should include all required boundary, control and entity classes with their associations and attributes. Your diagram should be drawn using the Enterprise Architect software and copied and inserted as a picture into your document.
Communication Diagram
a) In your own words, briefly describe what is modelled in a Communication Diagram, and how Communication Diagrams can be useful in systems analysis and design
b) Draw a Communication Diagram for the use case in your diagram that corresponds most closely to the use case ‘Approve Venue Invoice’, using the Use Case description given. This should include all control, boundary and entity objects involved in the scenario and sufficient detail of the messages to show that the interaction is feasible and would meet the system requirements. Your diagram should be drawn using the Enterprise Architect software and copied and inserted as a picture into your document.
Part 2. Sequence Diagram
a) In your own words, briefly describe what is modelled in a Sequence Diagram, and how Sequence Diagrams can be useful in systems analysis and design.
b) Draw a Sequence Diagram for the use case in your diagram that corresponds most closely to the use case ‘Approve Venue Invoice’. This should include all control, boundary and entity objects involved in the scenario and the sequence of interactions that take place in order to meet the system requirements. Your diagram should be drawn using the Enterprise Architect software, and copied and inserted as a picture into your document.
