Study Notes
Requirements Modelling
- Elicitation involves gathering requirements from stakeholders.
- Analysis ensures requirements are clear, consistent, complete, and feasible.
- Documentation involves recording requirements in clear, structured formats.
- Modelling represents requirements visually using techniques like use case diagrams, activity diagrams, and others.
- Validation ensures requirements accurately reflect stakeholder needs.
Benefits of UML
- Standardization provides a common framework and notation for modeling, ensuring consistency and interoperability.
- Visualization enables stakeholders to visualize, analyze, and understand system designs more effectively.
- Communication facilitates communication and collaboration among developers, analysts, testers, and other stakeholders.
- Analysis supports analysis and validation of system designs, helping to identify potential issues and improve the quality of software.
Unified Modelling Language (UML)
- UML is a standardized modeling language used in software engineering to visually represent the design of a system.
- UML facilitates communication, understanding, and documentation of system designs among stakeholders.
- UML diagrams include:
- Class Diagrams
- Activity Diagrams
- Use Case Diagrams
- State Diagrams
- Sequence Diagrams
- Component Diagrams
USE CASE Modelling
- USE CASE modelling describes what the system should do from the user's perspective.
- Business events, initiators, and system responses are considered.
- Functionality (USE CASES) and interaction between users (ACTORS) and functionality (USE CASES) are key aspects.
Techniques for Requirements Modelling
Use Case Diagram (UCD)
- Illustrates interactions between users and the system.
Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD)
- Depicts relationships between entities in the system.
Sequence Diagram
- Describes how, and in what order, a group of objects works together.
State Transition Diagram
- Illustrates states and transitions within the system.
Activity Diagram
- Shows the flow of one activity to another within a system or process.
Use Cases
- Represents some user-visible function.
- Is an activity the system performs in response to a user request.
- Is always initiated by an "actor".
- Describes the interaction between the actors and the system for a system function.
- Typically follows the verb + noun format (e.g., Generate Report).
Use Case Diagrams (UCD)
- Describes system functions from the perspective of external users.
- Specifies the behaviour (WHAT) and not the exact method of making it happen (HOW).
- Can be automated or manual.
Actors
- Anything that needs to interact with the system to exchange information.
- Represents a role played by one or more users.
- Communicates with the system by sending or receiving "messages".
- An actor may participate in many use cases; a use case may have several actors participating in it.
Types of Actors
- Business Actors: Stakeholders that primarily benefit from the execution of the Use Case (e.g., Employee receiving payment).
- System Actors: Stakeholders that directly interface with the system (e.g., Bank Teller entering deposit information).
