2.
Testing:
Verify and validate your use case diagram and use case descriptions against the SIS requirements definition. Check your diagram against the SIS requirements and write this review. In doing verification, the
objective is to make sure that you are building software according to user specifications. Ask questions like these: Does each use case have the required functionality? Do all the use cases combined perform as a complete coherent system?
I cross referenced MY diagram with the print out provided. I ensured that all actors, information, goals, requirements, and relationships were evident and clear. I attempted to make this as precise and succinct as possible, while still including all information. I believe my diagram portrays the simple explanation necessary to achieve the desired results. The combination of the diagram and template accurately depict all the information and goals provided in order to express relationship and associations. I believe that this would make the user specifications clear by explaining the different structures. By including the actors, Stakeholders, description, triggers, relationships, and flows all the information should be conveyed.
3.
Approach Explanation:
Explain your approach to the problem, the decisions you made to arrive at your solution, and how you completed it. Explain why you chose these particular use cases and why you chose the relationships between them. Explain your approach to creating your functional model and the design decisions you made to create it.
My approach was to be precise and follow the format in order of desired information. I feel my layout, while basic, easily examined the protocol. The use case template expands on these ideas. I did want to elaborate in some areas, but I chose a more simplistic approach because I felt it would be more easily read. I evaluated all the information, and I tried to make it as understandable as possible in order to achieve the organizational goals. I created a perspective of simple instructions.
4.
Self-Reflection:
Reflect on this experience and the lessons you learned from it. My personal self reflection is a weird sense of pride in finally finishing this, with an astounding feeling of ‘I have no idea what I am doing.’ This is ALL very new to me, but I am happy to learn and
be exposed to this. I truly am a fan of learning and understanding. I am uncomfortable when I don’t understand something, and I would like to change that.
I feel like learning this new system and engaging with my text and class will allow me to further my business goals. I had no idea that utilization of these types of systems, diagrams, and software could produce a clear, goal oriented perspective of an organizations’ goals and structure.
I still feel uneasy about this, but the initial feedback I received was all positive. Aside from my first draft being late, I executed the project with proficiency. The take away maybe I am analyzing this a little too much. Please let me know if I NEEDED to change anything, but according to the rubric this should be complete. References:
