Ques 3: Categorize the requirements developed by you into Normal, Expected and Exciting
Requirements.

Lab Exercise 2:

Learning Objectives:
Student would be able to:
• Identify various actors and associated use-cases for a given system.
• Develop use-case diagram and be able to write use case text scenarios.

Ques 1: Draw the high-level Use Case diagram for an email-based website (similar to Gmail or
Yahoo mail).

Ques 2: Draw the high-level Use Case diagram for the eLearn portal of BITS. [Faculty are expected
to discuss the same in the class]

[All the diagrams are to be neatly drawn using StarUML]

Ques 3:

(a) For the website for which you have already captured the requirements (in previous
question), you are required to draw the high-level Use Case diagram.
(b) Also, write down detailed Use-Case text scenarios for atleast two use cases. [Use the
template given below for writing the Use-Case text scenarios]

Lab Exercise 3:

Learning Objectives:
Student would be able to:
• Develop activity diagram and extend the same to swimlane diagram.
• Understand and analyse the product development processes involved.

Ques 1:
(a) Draw the activity diagram for one of the selected use case scenario for the email-based
website that you have already designed in the previous exercise.
(b) Modify the above activity diagram into the corresponding swimlane diagram.

Ques 2:
(a) Draw the activity diagram for one of the selected use case scenario for the eLearn portal
of BITS that you have already designed in the previous exercise.
(b) Modify the above activity diagram into the corresponding swimlane diagram.

[All the diagrams are to be neatly drawn using StarUML]

Ques 3:

(a) For the website for which you have already drawn the high-level Use Case diagram and
written Use-Case text scenarios, draw the activity diagrams for all the Use-Case text
scenarios.
(b) Modify the above activity diagrams into the corresponding swimlane diagrams.
(c) Analyze all the work products that you have created so far for your website. Determine
what all additional/important information is still required for you to start with the
development phase of the website.
Lab Exercise 4:

Learning Objectives:
Student would be able to:
• Model the data flow of various systems using Data Flow Diagrams.

Ques 1:
(a) Draw the DFD (Level 0) for the email-based website that you have already designed in the
previous exercise.
(b) Also, design the Level 1 and 2 DFD for the same.

Ques 2:
(a) Draw the DFD (Level 0) for the eLearn portal of BITS that you have already designed in the
previous exercise.
(b) Also, design the Level 1 and 2 DFD for the same.

[Since StarUML, does not support DFD, one can draw the same using drawing tools
available with MSWord]

Ques 3:

(a) For your selected website, draw the DFD (Level 0, 1 and 2).

Lab Exercise 5:

Learning Objectives:
Student would be able to:
• Design and develop the class diagram for a system.

Ques 1:
(a) Identify the various classes, attributes and operations (along with their visibility) that would
exist in the email-based website.
(b) Draw the complete class diagram for the same.

Ques 2:
(a) Identify the various classes, attributes and operations (along with their visibility) that would
exist in the eLearn portal of BITS.
(b) Draw the complete class diagram for the same.

[All the diagrams are to be neatly drawn using StarUML]

Ques 3:

(a) For your selected website, identify the various classes, attributes and operations (along
with their visibility) and draw the complete class diagram for the same.

Lab Exercise 6:

Learning Objectives:
Student would be able to:
• Design and develop state chart, component and deployment diagrams for a system.

Ques 1:

(a) Create a navigation diagram, for your selected website. In case you have chosen to develop
a system, you can alternatively draw the state chart diagram for the same.

[Since StarUML, does not provide support for drawing navigation diagram, one can draw
the same using drawing tools available with MSWord]

(b) For your selected website, draw the component and deployment diagrams.

[All the diagrams are to be neatly drawn using StarUML]

Lab Exercise 7:

Learning Objectives:
Student would be able to:
• Examine a given code and be able to apply various testing techniques to test the same.

Ques 1:

(a) Assume that the website/system that you have selected has a search facility. Write the
code for linear and binary search algorithms.
(b) Draw the control flow graph for both the algorithms and calculate the Cyclomatic
Complexity.
(c) Identify the basis set of paths and the number of test cases required to test the algorithm.

[Since StarUML, does not provide support for drawing control flow diagram, one can draw
the same using drawing tools available with MSWord]
 StarUML
StarUML is an open source project to develop fast, flexible, extensible, featureful, and freely-available
UML/MDA platform running on Win32 platform.
