Task Summary
In response to the case study provided, identify the functional and the non-functional requirement for the required information system and then build a Use Case Diagram and document set of use cases.
Context
System analysis methods and skills are of fundamental importance for a Business Analyst. This assessment allows you to enhance your system analysis skills by capturing the business and then functional and non-functional requirement of a system. It helps you in identifying “what” the proposed system will do and “how”?.
Instructions
1. Please read the attached MIS605_ Assessment 1_Case Study. Note that every piece of information provided in the following case serves a purpose.
2. Once you have completed reading the case study. Please answer the following questions:
Question 1 (10 mark).
Identify all the human and non-human actors within the system. Provide brief description against every actor.
Question 2 (30 marks).
Using the information provided in the case study, build a Use Case Diagram using any diagramming software.
Note: Please make assumptions where needed.
Question 3 (60 marks).
Document all use cases (use case methods). All use cases identified in the Use Case Diagram in Question 2 must be elaborated in detail. Please document each use case using the following template:

Question 1: Identify all the human and non-human actors within the system. Provide brief description against every actor.
10% Actors identified are largely incorrect. Actors identified are partially incorrect. Actors identified are correct but sufficient detail is not provided. Actors identified are correct and sufficient detail is provided. Actors identified are correct and sufficient detail is provided. The student has clear understanding of human and nonhuman actors.
Question 2: Using the information provided in the case study, build a Use Case Diagram using any diagramming software.
30% UCD does not include major use cases, many actors in the UCD are missing, association of base and abstract actors is not given with the use cases, extends and includes are not identified where required and not linked to base use case. The use case diagram does not sync in well with the requirements laid down in the case study. UCD misses some important use cases, some actors in the UCD are missing, some associations of base and abstract actors are not given with the use cases, extends and includes are partially identified (where required). Extends and includes and not appropriately linked to the base use cases. The use case diagram does not fully sync with the requirements laid down in the case study. UCD has all the use cases and actors, some associations of base and abstract actors are not given with the use cases, extends and includes are partially identified (where required). Extends and includes are not appropriately linked to the base use cases. The use case diagram largely syncs with the requirements laid down in the case study. UCD has all the use cases and actors, associations of base and abstract actors are given with the use cases, extends and includes are identified (where required).
