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
