Day 11 – UML and Use Case Diagrams Unified Modeling Language (UML) Use Case Diagrams Exercise 10 (in class today, one per CP team) 1. Use Cases for Client Project 2. Stakeholders Table Exercise 11 (due Monday, one per CP team) – 1. Functional Requirements Priority Table 2. Non-Functional Requirements UML intro, Day 11

Unified Modeling Language (UML) Object-oriented development approach – some times called OO modeling or OO techniques Use Case Diagrams most common UML technique UML can be used with any OO methodology OO Modeling supports object programming. DFDs focus on processes for data flow, rather than actual program steps. There are two purposes for UML modeling 1) to show how the application is used (as opposed to DFDs which show the process or logic and 2) to show what state the application is in. UML is a notation used in OO modeling – it is a language • A preliminary version of UML was presented in 1995 • In 1997 UML was presented to the Object Management Group (OMG) as a standard modeling technique www.omg.org • OMG is a consortium of software vendors, developers and organization with the goal to provide a common architectural framework for OO applications. UML views information systems as a collection of interacting objects that work together to accomplish tasks.

Use Case Diagrams in SDLC Use case diagrams aid in the analysis and documentation of high level requirements for scope & stakeholders Drill down use case diagrams aid in defining functional requirements one module at a time. Drill down to design each module. Final Construction Phase(s) Inception Phase(s) 3

Use Case Diagram Format The System is inside the rectangle Ovals depict each use case – a system action. A boundary is the dividing line between the system and its environment. Use cases are within the boundary. Actors are outside the boundary. A connection is an association between an actor and a use case. It depicts a usage relationship, but does not indicate data flow. The Use Case Diagram defines the requirements • A use case diagram is a graphical model that summarizes the information about the actors and use cases • During the use case analysis we try to identify all of the uses of the system • The uses derive from the events in the requirements list • We can think about a use case diagram as a functional description of the entire system, which identifies functions to be supported by the new system Automation Boundary and Organization • Figure above shows a use case diagram with two actors and four use cases • The boundary line drawn around the entire set of use cases is the automated system boundary or the automation boundary (it denotes the boundary between the environment, where the actors reside, and the internal functions of the automated system). Figure 1 in the UML-Use Case Diagram reading for today. UML intro, Day 11

Quick System Diagram – hand-drawn Use Case diagram – hand drawn preliminary drawing for eStore shows actors that system must handle. UML intro, Day 10, Tech Mod C UML intro, Day 11 5

Actors are roles or systems that interact with system Use Case diagram – with Visio Actors are roles or systems that interact with system Use Case diagram – Visio version for eStore that shows the names of each part of a use case diagram. UML intro, Day 11

Exercise 10 Resource: Use Case Diagrams from Reading

Example for Latinitas’ Case This Use Case diagram was created by 2007 UT MIS grad, Gretel Paronzini-Fredette Gretel was on the Latinitas team. She now creates use case diagrams as a consultant at Deloitte in Austin. * As a business analyst, Gretel creates Use Case Scripts for each of the Use Cases in a Use Case Diagram * The Austin Bearing Point office is now a Deloitte office. Note by Gretel Paronzini-Fredette, from the 2002 Latinitas team: This is Latinitas’ use case diagram. Please note that it this is only a part of the use case diagram because I only reflected what the actor does as a user. I left out the volunteer as an administrator of the system. In which case, you will have more use cases within the system. UML intro, Day 11

High Level Use Case Diagram – ASTA Skill Set System * * Drill down use case details for Search Skill set are provided in Figure 4 Figure 3 in UML-Use Case reading today. UML intro, Day 11

High Level Use Case Diagram Notes, re: DFDs Event (use case) names are verb-object like DFD processes No data stores Focus is on interaction of Actors (system users) with the system No arrow heads for lines connecting actor and use case, since considered two-way Figure 3 in UML-Use Case reading today.

High Level Use Case Diagram Provide employee information extends Request search Figure 4 in UML-Use Case reading today. Select skills uses Request search UML intro, Day 11

Goal of Analysis: Learn what needs coding before coding

Client Project Question 1 On a scale of 1 – 5, how similar is your project to 333k? 1 = not similar 5 = very similar

Client Project Question 2 On a scale of 1 – 5, how clear is your scope? 1 = not clear 5 = very clear

Client Project Question 3 On a scale of 1 – 5, how clear is your list of stakeholders? 1 = not clear 5 = very clear

Organizational Impact Analysis Meeting 2: Team used existing site like click through prototype with clients Stakeholders Table Root Cause Analysis Organizational Impact Analysis

Meeting 3: Evaluation Table

Web Flow Example – Judy Paul Website Judy’s public pages (customer side)  Paypal manages payments. Judy’s private pages for managing her site.

Functional Priorities – Judy Paul Website Exercise 11 – Create this week (recommended); full credit ‘til 3/5 UML intro, Day 10, Tech Mod C 22

Client Project Question 4 On a scale of 1 – 5, how clear are your team roles? 1 = not clear 5 = very clear

Web Flow As Basis for Assigning Functional Expertise Judy’s public pages (customer side)  Paypal manages payments. Judy’s private pages for managing her site.

Client Project Question 5 On a scale of 1 – 5, how set are your software tools ? 1 = not at all set 5 = absolutely set

Exercise 11 Reminder: Bring to Class Monday 3/5 Create for review with your client for your client project meeting this week: Functional Requirements Priority Table (draft) Non-Functional Requirements Summary (draft) Turn in one print copy for your client project team. UML intro, Day 10, Tech Mod C 26

Exercise 10: In class Client Project Team work Stakeholders Table High Level use case diagram for system (e.g. Figure 3 in Use Cases reading for ASTA) Drill down use case diagram for one use case (e.g. Figure 4 in Use Cases reading for ASTA) Note: e-mail option due Tues. 2/28 - noon UML intro, Day 10, Tech Mod C 27
