Assessment item 2 – Elaboration Phase

Value: 25%

Length: 2000 words

Submission method options: Alternative submission method

TASK

Refer to the project overview submitted in Assignment 1 and the relevant case study. In this phase, you are required to prepare a report that elaborates the project requirements in detail and illustrate those requirements using UML models. For this purpose, you should attempt the

following tasks:

1. Identify and briefly describe the Functional and non-Functional requirements for the proposed information system.

2. Identify use cases and draw use case diagram(s) for the new information system that show major use cases and actors.

3. Write one fully developed use case description for one of the important use cases identified. Select an important use case that is a key part of the system, not a basic simple one.

4. Draw the UML domain model class diagram(s) for the new information system. Be as specific and accurate as possible, given the information provided. If needed information is not provided, make realistic assumptions.

Maximum word count is 2000, excluding the diagrams.

To demonstrate academic integrity, cite all the information sources in APA 6th edition style.

RATIONALE

This assessment task will assess the following learning outcome/s:

• be able to explain and apply the concepts of object orientation methodology.

• be able to describe the relationship of analysis and design activities to the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

• be able to analyse system requirements to determine the use cases for the creation of a domain model of the problem domain.

• be able to create analysis and design diagrams with UML notation.

• be able to model various aspects of systems to construct quality diagrams for use in a system development project.

This assessment tasks covers the fundamental concepts of object modeling, use cases and dynamic models. The purpose of the assessment task is to strengthen the student’s skill in developing a detailed OO design using UML notation, based on a set of user requirements.
