Comprehensive Business Modeling of a Board Rental System

This assignment provides a comprehensive business modeling solution for a board rental system. It begins by identifying user stories and their acceptance criteria, outlining customer needs such as board rentals, payments, and board maintenance. The solution then progresses to use case modeling, describing the interactions between actors (customers and staff) and the system, including renting, repairing, and payment processes. Class diagrams are created to represent the system's structure, and state machine diagrams detail the lifecycle of a board. The assignment further includes a system sequence diagram for a specific use case (renting) and designs user interfaces for logging in and a dashboard. Finally, an entity-relationship diagram models the database structure. The solution incorporates references to established software engineering principles and methodologies by Sommerville and Pressman.

Section 2 - Use case modelling.
Sommerville (2016) suggested that modelling using uml languages ensures requirements are
collected during modelling.
Table 1 shows use case descriptions of Renting system
USE CASE #1 Renting board
Initiating Actor Squeaky Surf.
Actor’s goals To hire board
Participating actors Staff
Pre-conditions The CUSTOMER has not yet paid for deposit.
Post-conditions Customers pays deposit and a board is given to
customer.
Success Scenario i. Customer receives board.
ii. Customer returns good.
USE CASE #2 Repairing and selling boards
Initiating Actor Brain’s board shop
Actor’s goals To repair and sales board.
Participating actors Staff
Pre-conditions The staff identify there is need to repair and buy
new boards.
Post-conditions Inquires of repairing and buying boards are
received from Squeaky Surf.
Success Scenario i. Boards are available.
ii. WaxOff-WaxOn repairs and sells
broads.
USE CASE #2 Payment
Initiating Actor customer
Actor’s goals To pay for a board
Participating actors Payment system
Pre-conditions Deposit is not yet paid
Post-conditions Deposit is paid and customer given boards.
Customer returns board and pays for bills.
Success Scenario i. Customer has money to pays for charges.

Section 7 – Modelling the data base
Pressman (2016) suggested that Entity relationship diagrams show real world problems and can
be transferred to real system
