Assessment 1 – Part 1: Requirements Analysis
Due date: Friday April 05, 2024, by 11:59 PM
Weight: 15 out of total assessment 1 weight 70
Project: Case-study requirements analysis and software design
Collaboration: Group of three. Group and individually assessed.
1- Project Brief
A local university wants to develop a new interactive system. The university wants to allow
students to self-enrol into a semester subjects. The students would need to register in the new
application before they can access the system and enrol in subjects. A student can enrol in subjects
between 1 and 4. The enrolment is only for one semester at the time. Hence, choice of multiple
semester enrolment is outside the application scope.
Students must register first (using valid email and password). A student must enter their name,
email, and password into the registration form. On sign up, a unique student ID will be auto
generated for each student. The student unique ID is between 1 and 999999. If the size of the
generated ID is not 6-digits, then the ID should be pre-fixed with zeroes to complete 6-digits size
(e.g., 002340 is a valid ID. 2345 is not a valid ID). Registered students’ data should be saved into a
file data store “students.data”.
Students’ emails should have the extension “@university.com”. The students’ emails and the
password should be validated against existing patterns, for example:
Student email: firstname.lastname@university.com is a valid email.
Student email: firstname.lastname@university is not a valid email.
Student password is considered valid if it matches the following pattern:
- Starts with upper-case character.
- Minimum 5 letters
- Followed by 3 of more digits.
Registered students can then login into the application and perform the following operations: (i)
enrol into a subject, (ii) remove a subject from enrolment list, (iii) show current enrolment list, (iv)
change their password. Students enrolling into subject do not need to select a subject to enrol into
(to simplify the application). Once a student selects the enrol command a new subject will be
added to their enrolment list. The enrolment system will keep track of the subjects in the student’s
list and will notify the student if the subject count exceeds 4.
Subjects should be available for students on enrolment. When a student selects the enrolment
command/action, a new subject will be added to their enrolment list (given the list has less than 4
subjects). A subject is identified by a unique 3-digits auto-generated ID (1 <= ID <= 999).
On enrolment, a random subject mark (between 25 and 100) will be autogenerated and allocated
for the subject. Then the subject grade will be auto calculated based on the mark. Refer to UTS
grading system (mark < 50 à Z; 50 <= mark < 65 à P; 65 <= mark < 75 à C; 75 <= mark < 85
à D; mark >= 85 à HD).

Registered students and their enrolment data should be saved into a file data store “students.data”.
The data store file “students.data” should also be available to Admins to perform students’
management operations with the students’ data.
Admins are existing university staff (do not require registration). Admins have their own subsystem within the new application to perform student management operations. Admins can view all
registered students. Admins can organize and view students by grade. Admins can partition and
view students based on PASS/FAIL categories (using the students grades and marks). Admins can
remove a student or clear the entire students.data file store.
The university is requesting a CLI application students and admins actions. The university is also
requesting a GUI component (at smaller scale).
The university CLI interactive system is called “CLIUniApp”. The system should offer access to
two interactive sub-system menus for students and admins. CLIUniApp stores students’ data into a
local file “students.data”. All CLIUniApp CRUD operations should be operated with the storage
file “students.data”.
The case study GUI software implementation is a challenge task of Part 2. The GUI application is
called “GUIUniApp”. The GUI application is a prototype designed only for students to simplify
the implementation. GUIUniApp should allow students to login into the system. The login window
is the GUI main window. Once a student logs in correctly they can enrol into subjects (4 subjects
maximum). Every time a student is enrolled in a subject, the subject is added to the subject menu
enrolment list. Handle possible exceptions for empty login fields and for enrolment in more than 4
subjects.
In the GUI application, assume that the students are already registered (create and add few student
accounts to the application for testing). In GUIUniApp, the rules for student enrolment into a
subject are the same rules as CLIUniApp. There is no need to store students’ data into a file when
using GUIUniApp.
You team is expected to develop the application in two parts, Part 1 and Part2, then demonstrate
the result to the stakeholders in Part 3.
In Part 1, your team is expected to complete and deliver a comprehensive software requirements
analysis report which include: (i) Transform the requirements into user-stories and map the userstories to a requirements table (or backlog); (ii) Create a UML use-case diagram and explain in
details the goals, actors, cases their relationships in the diagram; (iii) Create a UML class-diagram
and explain in details the classes, their properties and their relationships.
In Part 2, your team is expected to develop and implement the university application following Part
1 design. The university application is composed of CLIUniApp and GUIUniApp (challenge task).
The application should be submitted by the due date and demonstrated in Part 3.
Part 3 is the assessment formal showcase. Each team will present their Part 2 working application
based on their collaborative Part 1 design. Team members must equally participate and collaborate
in all assessment parts.

2- User-Story Table (Backlog)
Your team is expected to read thoroughly the customer (university) requirements and transform the
requirements into user-story. The user-story should be simple so that each story is later translated
into a function (or action). Each story will have a unique 3-digits ID. If a group of stories related to
the same features, then the hundreds (number) will match for all those stories. For example:
Consider the Login feature. All the following stories are related to the same Login feature. Hence
their ID should start with the same hundreds number.
Story: match username and password with the ones on file à 101
Story: verify username and password against patterns à 105
Story: show error message if credentials do not match à 106
Story: take student to student sub-menu if credentials are correct à 100
The refined user-stories should be mapped into a requirements table (or backlog). The table is
formatted as follows:
ID User Action Result Function
A unique 3 digits
user story ID.
The person or
entity taking the
action
The action taken
by the user
The result or
outcome of the
action
The action name
3- UML Use-Case Diagram
Your team is expected to develop a comprehensive UML use-case diagram. To successfully
develop the diagram, identify the actors, the goals, the case, and their relationships. Provide
explanation for each actor, goal, case, relationship. Ensure that your diagram is consistent and align
with the provided explanations about all involved entities.
4- UML Class Diagram
Your team is expected to develop a comprehensive UML class diagram. To successfully develop
the diagram, identify the classes, fields, methods, visibility, multiplicity, and their relationships.
Provide explanation for each actor, goal, case, relationship. Ensure that your diagram is consistent
and align with the provided explanations about all involved entities.
5- Marking Scheme
Total assessment Part 1 mark is 15/70. All team members are expected to equally contribute
to the development of the project (all parts).

members. The individual student contributions or parts will be collated in a group deliverable for
submission and assessment (group submission but individual assessment). The deliverables of this
assessment task also include a compulsory oral/visual presentation (no PowerPoint slides) of the
individually implemented working software application during the scheduled assignment
assessment or review session (showcase).
The submitted “case study software” CLI or GUI must fully work before marks can be awarded.
CLI (and GUI) applications can be in the same project folder and submitted in the same ZIP file (if
your team chose to complete the GUI challenge task.
