Task Summary
In response to the case study provided, identify the functional and the non-functional requirement for
the required information system and then 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 requirement of a system. It helps you in identifying “what” the proposed
system will do and “how”?.

provided in the case study, build a
Use Case Diagram using any
diagramming software.
30%		 UCD does not include
major use cases, many
actors in the UCD are
missing, association of
base and abstract
actors is not given
with the use cases,

case. The use case
diagram does not sync
in well with the
requirements laid
down in the case
study.		 UCD misses some
important use cases,
