Process Analysis: UML Diagrams, Requirement, Activity and Class

This assignment analyzes the role of UML diagrams in process analysis, focusing on how documentation supports the development of activity, use case, and domain class diagrams. The solution provided explores the relationship between these UML models in the context of software development. It emphasizes the importance of requirement analysis and how UML modeling, including use case and activity diagrams, can enhance the understanding and specification of a system. The assignment also discusses the application of a domain model class diagram to represent the conceptual data and behavior of a system. The provided solution includes references to relevant literature supporting the concepts discussed.

PROCESS ANALYSIS
Answer to Question 1:
The analysis of the different phases of the lifecycle and the activity can be distinguished
with each other. The requirement, design document, test cases can be analyzed and it can also be
used for distinguishing a phase in software development lifecycle. The application of the UML
modelling can help in analyzing the software requirement and visualizing, constructing,
documenting and specifying the artifacts of an object oriented system (Osis, & Donins, 2017).
The documentation of the analysis helps in development of the activity because the phase
of requirement analysis consists of the different phases that are needed to be conducted. The
UML technique can be applied and from the requirement analysis document flow chart can be
created and modified into activity diagram. It can also help in mapping the relationship and
structure of a complex system and thus help in understanding the specification more precisely.
For understanding the relationship the class diagram can be used and the use case can be used for
suggesting the classes that are needed to be created. The analysis models are developed with the
creation of use cases during the requirement analysis phase (Safdar, Iqbal & Khan, 2015). For a
software system that manages car parking the system is automated for management of entry and
exit of the cars and calculating the charges based on the time the vehicle is parked.

PROCESS ANALYSIS
Use Case Diagram
The use case diagram shows the actors and the associated use case for demonstration of
flow of information between the actor and the use case.

3
PROCESS ANALYSIS
Activity Diagram
The activity diagram is created for the demonstration of flow from one activity to another
and describe the operation of the system.

4
PROCESS ANALYSIS
Domain Model Class Diagram
It acts as a conceptual model and contains the data and the behavior, it is used for
demonstrating the concept, datatypes, roles of the system and its components.
