    Study Notes

    Here are the study notes in bullet points:

    Non-Functional Requirements of a Software System

    • Non-functional requirements focus on the technical design of the software system.
    • Examples: operating systems, network protocols.

    Use Cases and Actors

    • Use cases represent a sequence of actions that the system performs in response to an external event to achieve a specific goal or objective.
    • Actors are people, organizations, or systems that interact with the software system being developed.
    • There are three types of actors: primary actors, supporting actors, and offstage actors.

    Use Case Model

    • The use-case model is a model that shows how users interact with the system to solve a problem.
    • The use-case model defines the user's objective, the interactions between the system and the user, and the system's behavior required to meet these objectives.

    Use Case Diagram

    • A use case diagram is a graphical representation of the relationships between actors and use cases.
    • Components of a use case diagram include actors, use cases, and associations between them.

    Inception Phase of Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD)

    • The inception phase involves gathering information and understanding the requirements for a new software project.
    • Activities in the inception phase include:
      • Identifying the problem to be solved
      • Defining the scope of the project
      • Identifying stakeholders
      • Establishing project goals and objectives
      • Creating the initial set of requirements

    Artifacts in Inception

    • Artifacts in inception include:
      • Vision and Business Case
      • Use-Case Model
      • Supplementary Specification
      • Glossary
      • Risk List and Risk Management Plan
      • Prototypes and proof-of-concepts
      • Iteration Plan
      • Phase Plan and Software Development Plan
      • Development Case

    Requirements

    • Requirements are high-level descriptions of a particular system service, constraint, or detailed specification generated during the requirements gathering process.
    • Types of requirements include:
      • Functional requirements
      • Non-functional requirements
      • User requirements
      • System requirements
      • Design requirements
      • Domain requirements
