Identify all the human and the non-human actors

Systems Analysis and Design

Assessment - Requirement Analysis

Learning Outcome 1: Identify, critically evaluate and recommend information systems solutions for inefficiencies in business processes, procedures and work practices using data and process modelling techniques.

Learning Outcome 2: Formulate, validate and document business requirements for a medium-scale information system development project and effectively communicate these requirements to the stakeholders.

Learning Outcome 3: Demonstrate the ability to effectively analyse, design and develop information systems using Unified Modelling Language (UML) models.

Task Summary
In response to the case study provided to you by your facilitator, identify the functional and the non- functional requirements for the required information system and then decide on the project and the software development life cycle. Also identify actors, build a use case diagram and document set of use cases.

Context
System analysis methods and skills are of fundamental importance for a Business Analyst. This assessment allows you to enhance your system analysis skills by capturing the business and then functional and non-functional requirements of a system. It helps you in identifying "what" the proposed system will do and "how"?

Instructions

1. Please read the case study provided to you by your facilitator. Note that every piece of information provided in the case has a purpose.

2. Once you have completed reading the case study. Please answer the following questions:

Question 1: For the given case study, propose a suitable software development life cycle and project life cycle. Provide diagrams with justification.

Question 2: Identify all the human and the non-human actors within the system. Provide brief description against every actor, clearly describing if the actor is primary, secondary or an abstract actor.

Question 3: Using the information provided in the case study, build and provide a Use Case Diagram (UCD) using any diagramming software.

Question 4: Document all use cases (use case methods). All use cases identified in the Use Case Diagram in Question 3 must be elaborated in detail. Please document each use case using the following template:
