Systems Analysis and Design 1 Assignment: Use Case and UML Diagrams

This document presents a comprehensive solution to a Systems Analysis and Design assignment, focusing on the Eze-Mulch business case. It begins with an analysis of stakeholders, including tree contractors, farmers, and internet service providers, detailing their roles and benefits within the system. The assignment then provides a use case description for a wearable dive computer, outlining user needs, mobile app functionalities, and GPS connection requirements. A use case diagram visually represents the interaction between the device and a mobile application. Furthermore, the solution explains the importance and application of UML (Unified Modeling Language) in software systems, demonstrating its use with a UML diagram for a cat lovers and owners system. References to relevant academic sources are included to support the analysis and design concepts discussed.

2SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
The MulchNetwork is a great business that works together with several
stakeholders having unique goals and benefits. These stakeholders include the tree
contractors, the local client farmers, The Internet Service Providers, the system and
web developers and the farmers who provide mulch materials from their gardens.
These stakeholders would not be part of MulchNetwork if they did not get any
benefits from the business. The tree contractors are the first stakeholders in the
business; without them there would be no MulchNetwork business. They are the once
who look for the mulch materials from different gardens and then go ahead and create
the mulch which will eventually be sold to other local farmers. Tree contractors get
their revenue from the sale of the mulch materials and firewood. The new Eze-Mulch
system will therefore become a great business advantage for the tree contractors since
the core business processes will be seamless as the system will join them to their
clients in a pretty simple manner (Brace, 2018).
The farmers are the final clients who make use of the end mulch materials and
they will surely get more benefits from the Eze-Mulch System as it will link them
directly to the MulchNetwork. They will be able to receive quotations and make
orders in a very simple and real time manner. Furthermore, the farmers who own
gardens which supply the mulch materials will as well be linked easily to the tree
contractors (Lawrence & Weber, 2014). They would at anytime request the contractor
to visit them and get the mulch materials just by the click of a button. Internet service
providers will also be a part of the Eze-Mulch system since they will allow for a
seamless communication to their client. Eze-mulch system will therefore link the ISP

to several customers who will in that manner become their clients technically.

Use case Description
User/Diver Needs to wear the device on hand in order to record
the time and distance traveled under water
Mobile App Must be able to receive notification updates and all
the data captured from the wearable device
GPS connection Needs to capture the location details
Register The wearable dive computer must allow the user to
first register an account in order to have a portal from the
mobile device that shows all the diving details
Login The user needs to login from anywhere to their
account

The utilization of use case outline at its most straightforward manner a portrayal
of a client's cooperation with the system that demonstrates the connection between the
client and the diverse use cases in which the client is included. Such use case
diagrams can greatly help distinguish the diverse sorts of clients of a framework and
the distinctive use cases and will frequently be joined by different kinds of charts as
too (Sabharwal, Kaur & Sibal, 2017).
The below diagram shows the use case for the wearable computer device by
divers. It has shown at a glance the uses expected and the connection between the
device and the mobile application which the divers are able to use for checking on
their diving data later.

5SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
UML is a typical dialect for business analytics, programmers and engineers used
to depict, indicate, outline, and record all antiquities of programming frameworks
(Torre, Labiche, Genero & Elaasar, 2015)).
UML can be connected to differing application areas (like in accounting and
finance, banking, web, aviation, human services, and so on.) UML is deliberately
process free and could be connected with regards to various procedure contexts
(Sellami, Hakim, Abran & Ben-Abdallah, 2015). In any case, it is most appropriate
for utilization in case driven, iterative and incremental advancement forms. A case of
such process is Rational Unified Process (RUP).
UML however isn't totally visual. Given some UML outline, we can't be certain
to comprehend the delineated part or conduct of the framework from the graph alone.
Some data could be deliberately overlooked from the chart, some data shown on the
outline as well could have diverse understandings, and a few ideas of UML have no
graphical documentation by any stretch of the imagination, so there is no real way to
portray those on charts (Seidl, Scholz, Huemer & Kappel, 2015). The diagram below
is the UML diagram that depicts all the classes and functions of the Cat lovers and
owners system
