You have been asked to carry out use case modelling to identify the functional requirements for a new fitness watch targeted at swimmers, similar to those produced by Garmin or Polar. The target user is anyone from a recreational to a competitive swimmer, and both open water and swimming pool laps are to be catered for. The watch is to connect with an app that will provide a variety of additional features as well as those on the watch itself.
Use the user goal technique to identify all the use cases that would be relevant to a swimmer who would be a potential user of the watch. Use your own experience, or that of a swimmer of your acquaintance, together with any research you need to do.
(a) Present your list in a table giving the use case name and an informative brief description.
(b) Draw a use case diagram representing the same information.

- The Shining Stars primary school was the recent recipient of a technology grant to source and implement a school management system. The school administrator is not technology savvy and therefore sought advice from three of the board members who were knowledgeable in the information systems and technology field. One director advised the administrator to purchase an off-the-shelf solution that would allow the school to get the system configured and up and running in a short period with reasonable costs. The second advised the administrator to invest in the development of a unique system to meet the custom requirements of the school’s administration. He suggested that this would create a closer fit to the school’s needs compared to purchasing software, but will cost more. The third director suggested using an open-source solution which would have little if any upfront costs but may require some customization.

- Sports World is an Events Management Company that organizes the running of major games, such as the Olympic Games. Before being used to host a sporting event, venues are assessed by an Administrator who checks that they are fit for purpose. If the venue can hold more than 10,000 people, the Administrator conducts additional health and safety checks to ensure that the venue is safe. A year before the games begin, a Team of Staff is appointed to run the day-to-day operations, including booking successfully assessed/safety-checked venues. Six months before the games begin, the Team of Staff produce a Program that lists the date, time and location of each sporting event. At this point, Athletes can register for an event by giving their name, address, date of bir sporting th and best time for their event.
