Introduction
The National University provides the degrees of graduation, post-graduation, and diploma
courses. And they want to develop the Enrolment Management System for managing the details
of the students as well as the faculty members. In this assessment, the design activities will be
discussed with the help of SDLC life cycle. In the next part, the case study will also be described
as considering the requirements for making the new system. For the development of the system,
the use case diagram will be defined including the actors and different use cases.

Software Development Life Cycle
It is the process which is used by the software industry for designing, developing and testing the
software or low and high quality both. The main aim of SDLC is to produce the software of high
qualities that exceeds or meets the expectations of the customers and also have to complete the
software development process and the estimated cost.
 It is the framework which defines the performed tasks in each and every step of the
development process of software.
 The international standard of the life-cycle process of software is ISO/IEC 12207.
 The main of this standard is to define the overall tasks that were required for the development
and maintenance of software.
The SDLC includes a detailed plan describing the process of developing, maintaining, replacing
or enhancing the specific software. This cycle defines the method for improving software quality
and complete process of development (Hölzl, et al., 2015).

The SDLC life cycle includes some stages used for the development of large software.

Planning & Requirement Analysis: This stage is so important in the life cycle of SDLC.
The senior team members with the people inputs, market surveys, sales department, and the
domain expert in the industries. The requirements should be analyzed for further
development of the project successfully. The information is required for planning the basic
approaches of the project and also conduct the feasibility study of the product in the
technical, economical, and operational areas.
Planning for requirements of quality assurance and the risk identification was completed in
the stage of planning. The outcomes with several technical approaches will be implemented
into the project with a low occurrence of risks.
Defining the requirements: After completing the analysis of requirements, product
requirements will be documented for getting approval by the market analyst and the
customers. It is completed by the SRS document. It includes the requirements of product for
developing and designing during the life cycle of a project (Ali, 2017).
Designing the architecture: With the reference of SRS, the architecture or the prototypes of
the will be designed with the gathered requirements for the project. After designing the
prototypes, the stakeholders will give reviews which based on the several parameters as
product robustness, risk assessment, time and budget constraints, design modularity, for
selecting the best design for further development.
The approach of designed architecture will define the modules clearly with the representation
of data flow with the third party and the external modules.
Development Phase: In the development stage, the development of the project will be
started after designing completion. The coding part will be developed in this phase. The
developer has to follow the guidelines of coding which were defined by the company. The
tools of programming such as interpreters, compilers, debuggers were used for generating the
code in the designed product. For the development of the project, the programming
languages were used for the development of projects such as Java, PHP, C, C++ and many
more.
Testing Phase: After completing the development of the project, it will be tested in the
stage. If there is any defect or the error occurred in the project then it will be resolved for
further usage. While starting the testing phase, the client requirements were considered first.
Deployment Phase: After completing all stages of the SDLC, the project will be deployed or
released to the client for final testing on the localhost. After final testing of the project, it will
be out in the limited segments.

Case Study
In Australia, the National University is the best institution which offers the graduate,
postgraduate and the diploma degrees in the Information Technology, Accounting, Information
System, Laws, Business, Humanities, and Arts. For providing a better facility to the students of
the university, the organization has to develop the system for enrolling the students of the
university. The system was named as “Student Enrolment System”. The designed system will
make records of the students including their selected subjects and their personal details which
were required by the system.
In this system, it will provide the list of the subjects available with the respective timings of
classes. It is so helpful to the students for accessing the details by getting authorized with the
designed system. With this designed system, students can also deposit their academic session
fees by selecting the payment modes which were provided in the application. The other
departments of the university such as faculty can access the details of students with the help of
the designed enrolment system (Custodio & Castro, 2016).
For storing the data or the information of students, the proper security and the maintenance are
required. This is so necessary because if there is no security or maintenance then the students
will face some issues regarding the course details, fees submission and many more. The main
issue occurs when a student is accessing their details and the internet connectivity is not proper.
The connectivity of the internet is necessary for accessing the information of students and other
system functionalities.
The database server is also implemented in the system for making the records safe of the students
and the faculty respectively. It is necessary because if the system will crash at any cost then the
data or the information of the student will be safe for further usage.
The designed system for the Student Enrolment has many updated features which were so
helpful and easy for the students as well as faculty members of the university. These features
were:
- Students, faculty members, and the administrator can add their personal details at the time of
signing up in the system.
- Admin can add, delete and edit their personal details or the subject details by their own.
- Students can select subjects with their requirements.
- Students can also connect with the other stream students by the system which is so helpful
them for increasing knowledge.
- Students can find their assessments lectures online related to their subjects.

Use Case Name Search Courses
Scenario The students of the university will able to search their related courses
with their requirements.
Triggering Event To search courses, they first have to log in into the system with the
authorized details.
Description In this use case, the student can search their courses with their
requirements. They first have to log in into the system for accessing the
extra information about the courses. They can also select the courses
for making payment of it. If the user is new to the system, then they
have to register themselves into the system with the valid details
required into the system.
Actor Students

Related Use Case Registration, search courses, add details, edit details, fees payment.
Stakeholders Administrator, Students, and Lecturer
Pre-Condition  The students can able to register into the system.
 The students can able to edit their details after registration into
the system.

Validate the design of the system
The enrolment system is designed for maintaining the records of the students and faculty
members. The administrator or the admin will have full control to add, delete and update their
personal information as well as courses details. The students can search their courses with their
requirements and also make payment for the courses which were selected by them. There were
many payment modes available by which user can select any of the payment modes which is
suitable for payment confirmation (Khurana, et al., 2016).
There are some partial use cases by which the system will be validated properly. These were
defined below with each actor:
