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.

Your task is to document the functional requirements of the Australian Tax Office (ATO) in UML. In a typical learning environment, assignments are often based on hypothetical case studies, like those in the tutorials. Such case studies are limiting because you have little opportunity to investigate how authentic computer systems work, thus making it difficult to appreciate the complexity of an authentic system, the need for analysis and the usefulness of analysis tools. We hope that by investigating an authentic system you will appreciate the importance of analysis and the role of UML as a communication and analysis tool. During the analysis stage, UML is used to specify systems requirements, which will be used to design a computer system. In this assignment, we will use UML to document a system that has already been computerised – like reverse engineering a system (from an existing computer…arrow_forward
