The purpose of this assignment is to review the IT Online Training Project Requirements and begin the modeling of the requirements by using the noun analysis technique to identify domain classes, attributes, operations, and requirements.

Course Objective(s): 

CO1: Describe object oriented modeling concepts, class diagrams, and object diagrams

Background

In this assignment we will begin the analysis for a case study, the IT Online Training Project, which will be used for your assignments throughout the course.

The requirements for this case study are in the IT Online Training Project Requirements 2018R2 document.

For this project, you will use the Analysis Specification Template 2018R4 and fill in sections as the course progresses each week. It is common practice in systems development to use templates for various types of documents to standardize the documentation and development practices throughout an organization.

For this assignment, you will complete the following:

Sections: 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and Sections 4.3, 4.3.1.

Instructions

1. Review the Quick Resources at the end of this Assignment.

2. Review the IT Online Training Project Requirements 2018R2 and the Analysis Specification Template 2018R4 .

3. Open the Analysis Specification Template and save it as Assignment1FirstNameLastname substituting your name.

4. Complete the following:

Sections 1 – Introduction, 1.1 Problem Definition, 1.2 Sponsor Project Descriptions, 1.3. Sponsor Requirements

Using the Online Training Project Requirements document, complete all of Section 1 in the Analysis Specification Template. Use your own words for Sections 1, 1.1, and 1.2. You can copy and paste the Sponsor requirements from the case study to the Analysis Specification for Section 1.3. See the template for details. Make certain that you retain the requirement numbers as you will use these for traceability.

Section 4 – Classes, Attributes, Operations(Methods), Requirements 

Complete the classes, attributes, operations, and requirements table.

(Customer-Scheduled Course-User Analysis Example.pdf. illustrates the result of the analysis of the Customer, ScheduledCourse, and User classes in the requirements document. For each class the attributes, operations (methods), and requirement number were documented)

Using the Online Training Project Requirements document identify and create a list of all potential classes, definition for each class, attributes, operations (methods), and requirement number. Place your list in the Classes, Attributes, Operations(Methods), Requirements table below. Note that it is already included for you in the specification. The classes, attributes, and operations are in the Requirements document. If you do the analysis you will find them.

The following list provides a starting list of classes which have already been referenced in the course. You must identify the remaining classes from the Requirements document:

Starting List of Classes

As a result of reading/using the course resources listed below, at least 9 different classes are already identified for you and you should include them as well as the remaining classes you will discover with noun analysis of the Requirements document.

<Insert Your Name and Class>

IT Online Training (ITOT) Analysis Specification

<Notes: Often in system development we use templates to create different types of specifications. This is an abbreviated template that represents some of the analysis artifacts of a project. The items in <> with the word “Insert” or “Provide” are explanatory and should be removed from your document after you follow the directions. Other symbols <> require you to insert names. This document is intended to provide a partial analysis specification for the project case study, IT Online Training. This document includes an introduction, use case diagrams, detailed use cases, activity diagrams, domain class diagrams, and domain state diagram. Parts of this specification will come from the IT Online Training Specification and from your assignments. This document integrates some of the analysis diagrams and project specification details to provide a single reference. Headings are used to provide easier navigation. To see the heading navigation, in Word click on the View tab and check the Navigation Pane box. You will submit this document for each assignment with new sections completed and added to it. You can revise any previous sections as needed. Remember to insert you name and class information at the top of this document.>

Provide a mockup (image) of whatever forms/screens that are used to illustrate the activities in your use case. Include a description of your forms/screens. These should support and illustrate your use case. For example for a Create Customer use case, a Create Customer screen with customer id, first and last name, address, phone numbers for work and cell phone boxes and a Submit Button would be an example of a form or web screen. Include a discussion of the form including its content (data elements) and how they will be used. Identify the classes has these attributes. Include a dialog (step by step instructions on what happens when this form is used. While these forms/screens will be used in the application, they are also used as a storyboard to explain the user interface to the sponsors of the project. These can be used to create and verify the steps of your detailed use case. >

3.1.4 Activity Diagram Name for Use Case <Name> and Discussion <Add the actual name of your use case replacing “<Name>” above with the actual name of your use case like Manage Shopping Cart. For example, Activity Diagram for Use Case Manage Shopping Cart. Insert the following:

1. An activity diagram for your use case 2. A discussion of the activity diagram.

Remember that the detailed use case steps should be reflected in your activity diagram.>

4. Domain Class Diagram <Provide a brief introduction to the contents of this section.>

4.1 Domain Class Diagram(s) < Insert your Domain Class Diagram here. Remember that classes are named with nouns or noun phrases. A domain class diagram includes classes with attributes and operations for each class and named relationships with multiplicity constraints. Associations need names. You do not need a name for generalization, aggregation, and composition relationships. You must have names for associations.

4.2 Class and Relationship Analysis <Insert your completed Class and Relationship Analysis here.>

Class and Relationship Analysis Class Name 1 Relationship with Multiplicity Class

Name 2

Analysis Specification 2018R2 Page 6

Instructor

An Instructor teaches zero or more (0..*) Course

A Course is taught by a single (1) Instructor

Course

Then on the class diagram association between Instructor and Course you can name the association "teaches" and add the multiplicity constraints (1) near Instructor and (0..1) near Course.

4.3 List of Classes with Definitions, Attributes, Operations, and Requirements Number

<Insert an alphabetical list of classes with a brief definition of each class, attributes, operations, and requirement number from the IT Online Training Project Requirements 2022 document. Remember that class names are nouns or noun phrases. To define a class, complete the phrase “A className is a …”. Additional information can then be added. Attributes are properties of a class like "customerID" and begin with a lowercase letter. Operations are actions that a class can perform and begin with a lower case letter followed by parentheses (). We can create a new instance of a class (Create), delete an instance of a class (remove), get (read) values of the attribute, or set (change) values of the attribute. See the examples in the table below. The examples below include all of the getter/setter methods for the attributes. You do not need to include them in this assignment, but for Assignment 2 when you create your class diagram, you can use the features of our CASE to so that the getter/setter methods will automatically be added. For now you can use a high level modify() and read() to represent the getter/setter methods. Later In design these will be modified depending on the technology used. During analysis we want to be independent of technology as much as possible.>

Insert a description of your SSD. 2. Insert a UML System Sequence Diagram (SSD) for your use case from Section 3 above. An SSD shows the actor and the System and the messages (including message name and parameters) required to implement the detailed use case description from Section 3. The SSD shows the inputs and outputs to/from the system for the use case.>

6.2 Detailed Sequence Diagram for <Use Case Name> Use Case and Discussion <Replace <Use Case Name> above with the name of your use case like Manage Shopping Cart so that it reads like Detailed Sequence Diagram for Manage Shopping Cart Use Case and Description. 1. Insert a UML Detailed Sequence Diagram for your use case. A Detailed Sequence diagram shows the actor and instead of the System like in the SSD, it will show all of the objects (instances of classes) that are required to implement the use case. Your Class Diagram will be helpful here. The net messages should be the same as in your SSD above but you will have more detailed messages including message name and parameters among the different objects that are actually required to implement the use case. So now you will add objects across the top of your diagram and omit System. Include a discussion of your Detailed Sequence Diagram.> 2. Insert a discussion of your Detailed Sequence Diagram.
