3. A customer must be able to make a transfer of money between any two accounts linked to the card. 4. A customer must be able to make a balance inquiry of any account linked to the card. 5. A customer must be able to abort a transaction in progress by pressing the Cancel key instead of responding to a request from the machine. The ATM will communicate each transaction to the bank and obtain verification that it was allowed by the bank. Ordinarily, a transaction will be considered complete by the bank once it has been approved. In the case of a deposit, a second message will be sent to the bank indicating that the customer has deposited the envelope. (If the custom-er fails to deposit the envelope within the timeout period, or presses cancel instead, no second message will be sent to the bank and the deposit will not be credited to the customer.) If the bank determines that the customer's PIN is invalid, the customer will be required to reenter the PIN before a transaction can proceed. If the customer is unable to successfully enter the PIN after three tries, the card will be permanently retained by the machine, and the customer will have to contact the bank to get it back If a transaction fails for any reason other than an invalid PIN, the ATM will display an explanation of the problem, and will then ask the customer whether he/she wants to do another transaction. The ATM will provide the customer with a printed receipt for each successful transaction The ATM will have a key-operated switch that will allow an operator to start and stop the servicing of customers. After turning the switch to the "on" position, the operator will be required to verify and enter the total cash on hand. The machine can only be turned off when it is not servicing a customer. When the switch is moved to the "off" position, the machine will shut down, so that the operator may remove deposit envelopes and reload the machine with cash, blank receipts, etc. .Characteristics of CASE TOOLS: Some of the characteristics of case tools It is a graphic oriented tool. It supports decomposition of process. Some typical CASE tools are: Unified Modeling Language Data modeling tools, and Source code generation tools
Introduction to UML (Unified Modeling Language): The unified modeling language (UML) is a standard language for writing software blue prints. The UML is a language for Visualizing Specifying Constructing Documenting
CASE TOOLS
Visualizing
The UML is more than just a bunch of graphical symbols. In UML each symbol has well defined semantics. In this manner one developer can write a model in the UML and another developer or even another tools can interpret the model unambiguously.
Specifying
UML is used for specifying means building models that are precise, unambiguous and complete. UML addresses the specification of all the important analysis, design and implemen-tation decisions that must be made in developing and deploying a software intensive system.
Constructing
UML is not a visual programming language but its models can be directly connected to a variety of programming languages. This means that it is possible to map from a model in the UML to a programming language such as java, c++ or Visual Basic or even to tables in a rela-tional database or the persistent store of an object-oriented database. This mapping permits for-ward engineering. The generation of code from a UML model into a programming language. The reverse engineering is also possible you can reconstruct a model from an im-plementation back into the UML.
Documenting
UML is a language for Documenting. A software organization produces all sorts of arti-facts in addition to raw executable code. These artifacts include Requirements, Architecture, De-sign, Source code, Project plans, Test, Prototype, and Release. Such artifacts are not only the deliverables of a project, they are also critical in controlling, measuring and communicating about a system during its development and after its deployment.
Structural things:
Class: A class is the descriptor for a set of objects with similar structure, behavior, and relationships. It is represented by a rectangle.
Relations:
Association Dependency Generalization Realization
Composition
Association:
An association is a structural relationship that specifies the relation between two objects when they are at the same level (peer level systems). An Association can specify the relationship, role of the class and Multiplicity. An Association used in class diagram, Component diagram, deployment diagram, usecase diagrams. The multiplicity can be represented as 1-1..*,*,01. It is represented as follows:
Directed Association:
Links a semantic association between two classes in the UML diagram. Directed association is used in class diagram, Component diagram, deployment diagram, usecase diagrams. Symbol:
Aggregation:
Links a semantic association between two classes in the UML diagram. Aggregation is used in class diagram.
Symbol:
Composition:
Links a semantic association between two classes in the UML diagram. Composition is used in class diagram. Symbol:
Generalization:
Generalization is a specification relationship in which objects of the specialized element (the child) are substitutable for objects of the generalization element (the parent).It is used in class diagram. Symbol:
Dependency:
A dependency is a semantic relationship in which if there is any change occurred in one object that may affect other object. Dependency is used in class diagram, Component diagram, deployment diagram, use-case diagrams. Symbol:
Realization:
Realization is a Specified tool that can be represented by providing a relationship with classifier. Dependency is used in class diagram, Component diagram, deployment diagram, use-case diagrams. Symbol:
Class diagrams:
A class diagram is that which represents a set of classes, interfaces, and collaborations and their relationships, graphically a class diagram is a collection of vertices and arcs. It consists of three compartments.
Uses: A class diagram is used to model the static design view of a system.
Object diagrams:
An object diagram shares the same common properties of all other diagrams.
Uses: An object diagram is used to model the static design view of a system.
UseCase Diagrams:
A usecase diagram shares the common properties as all diagrams. It distinguishes in the contents of use cases, actors, dependency, and generalization relationships.
Uses: A Usecase diagram is used to model the static design view of a system.
Interaction Diagrams:
An Interaction diagram shares the same common properties as all other diagrams. It differs in its contents Objects Links Messages It includes two diagrams Sequence diagram and Collaboration diagram
Sequence Diagrams:
A sequence diagram emphasizes the time ordering of messages. Sequence diagrams have two features that distinguish them from collaboration diagrams. (i)Object life time (ii)The focus of control
Collaboration Diagrams:
9
A collaboration diagram emphasizes the organization of the objects that participate in an inter-action Collaboration diagrams have two features that distinguish them from sequence diagrams. (i)Path (ii) The Sequence number Object: It is an instance of a class.
Symbol:
Stimulus: A Stimulus is a communication between two Instances that conveys information with the
expectation that action will ensue. A Stimulus will cause an Operation to be invoked, raise a Signal, or cause an Instance to be created or destroyed. Symbol: It can be annotated by a name. It has a property as Action kind.
Call:
Send:
Return
Create:
Destroy:
Uses: Interaction diagrams are used to model the dynamic aspects of a system. It is
obtained in two ways: (i) To model flows of control by time ordering. (ii) To model flows of control by organization.
State: A state is a condition during the life of an object or an interaction during which it satis-fies some condition, performs some action, or waits for some event. It is represented by a round-ed rectangle. Symbol:
Initial State: An initial is a kind of pseudo state that represents the starting point in a region of a state ma-chine. It has a single outgoing transition to the default state of the enclosing region, and has no incoming transitions. There can be one (and only one) initial state in any given region of a state machine. It is not itself a state but acts as a marker. Symbol:
Final State: A final state represents the last or "final" state of the enclosing composite state. There may be more than one final state at any level signifying that the composite state can end in different ways or conditions. When a final state is reached and there are no other enclosing states it means that the entire state machine has completed its transitions and no more transitions can occur. Symbol:
Junction Point: Junction Point chains together transitions into a single run-to-completion path. May have multiple input and/or output transitions. Each complete path involving a junction is
11
logically independent and only one such path fires at one time. May be used to construct branches and merges. Symbol:
Transition: A transition is a directed relationship between a source state vertex and a target state vertex. It may be part of a compound transition, which takes the state machine from one state configuration to another, representing the complete response of the state machine to a particular event instance. Symbol:
Activity Diagram:
It represents the different activities in the system. Action State: An action state represents the execution of an atomic action, typically the invocation of an operation. An action state is a simple state with an entry action whose only exit transition is triggered by the implicit event of completing the execution of the entry action. The state therefore corresponds to the execution of the entry action itself and the outgoing transition is activated as soon as the action has completed its execution. Symbol:
Sub Activity State: A sub activity state represents the execution of a non-atomic sequence of steps that has some duration; that is, internally it consists of a set of actions and possibly waiting for events. That is, a sub activity state is a hierarchical action, where an associated sub activity graph is executed. Symbol:
Initial State: An initial is a kind of pseudo state that represents the starting point in a region of a
state machine. It has a single outgoing transition to the default state of the enclosing region, and has
12
no incoming transitions. There can be one (and only one) initial state in any given region of a state machine. It is not itself a state but acts as a marker. Symbol:
Final State: A final state represents the last or "final" state of the enclosing composite state. There may be more than one final state at any level signifying that the composite state can end in different ways or conditions. When a final state is reached and there are no other enclosing states it means that the entire state machine has completed its transitions and no more transitions can occur. Symbol:
Decision: A state diagram (and by derivation an activity diagram) expresses a decision when guard conditions are used to indicate different possible transitions that depend on Boolean conditions of the owning object. Symbol:
Component Diagrams: Package: A package is a grouping of model elements. Packages themselves may be nested within other packages. A package may contain subordinate packages as well as other kinds of model elements. All kinds of UML model elements can be organized into packages.
Symbol:
Symbol:
Deployment Diagrams:
Node: A node is a run-time physical object that represents a computational resource, generally having at least a memory and often processing capability as well, and upon which components may be deployed. Symbol:
ARCHITECTURE OF UML
14
Any real world system is used by different users. The users can be developers, testers, business people, analysts and many more. So before designing a system the architecture is made with different perspectives in mind. The most important part is to visualize the system from different viewers perspective. The better we understand the better we make the system. UML plays an important role in defining different perspectives of a system. These perspectives are:
Design Implementation Process Deployment And the centre is the Use Case view which connects all these four. A Use case represents the functionality of the system. So the other perspectives are connected with use case. Design of a system consists of classes, interfaces and collaboration. UML provides class dia-gram, object diagram to support this. Implementation defines the components assembled togeth-er to make a complete physical system. UML component diagram is used to support implemen-tation perspective. Process defines the flow of the system. So the same elements as used in Design are also used to support this perspective. Deployment represents the physical nodes of the system that forms the hardware. UML deployment diagram is used to support this perspective.
The purpose of use case diagram is to capture the dynamic aspect of a system. But this definition is too generic to describe the purpose. Because other four diagrams (activity, se-quence, collaboration and State chart) are also having the same purpose. So we will look into some specific purpose which will distinguish it from other four diagrams. Use case diagrams are used to gather the requirements of a system including internal and external influences. These requirements are mostly design requirements. So when a system is analyzed to gather its func-tionalities use cases are prepared and actors are identified. So in brief, the purposes of use case diagrams can be as follows: Used to gather requirements of a system. Used to get an outside view of a system. Identify external and internal factors influencing the system. Show the interacting among the requirements are actors.

Withdrawal UseCase
A withdrawal transaction asks the customer to choose a type of account to withdraw from (e.g. checking) from a menu of possible accounts, and to choose a dollar amount from a menu of possible amounts. The system verifies that it has sufficient money on hand to satisfy the request before sending the transaction to the bank. (If not, the customer is informed and asked to enter a different amount.) If the transaction is approved by the bank, the appropriate amount of cash is dispensed by the machine before it issues a receipt. A withdrawal transaction can be can-celled by the customer pressing the Cancel key any time prior to choosing the dollar amount.
Transfer UseCase
A transfer transaction asks the customer to choose a type of account to transfer from (e.g. checking) from a menu of possible accounts, to choose a different account to transfer to, and to type in a dollar amount on the keyboard. No further action is required once the transaction is approved by the bank before printing the receipt. A transfer transaction can be cancelled by the customer pressing the Cancel key any time prior to entering a dollar amount.

Update Account
This usecase is for updating corresponding user accounts after transactions (withdraw or deposit or transfer) are completed.
CLASS DIAGRAM
Overview:
The class diagram is a static diagram. It represents the static view of an application. Class diagram is not only used for visualizing, describing and documenting different aspects of a system but also for constructing executable code of the software application. The class diagram describes the attributes and operations of a class and also the constraints imposed on the system. The class diagram shows a collection of classes, interfaces, associations, collaborations and con-straints. It is also known as a structural diagram.
Purpose:
The purpose of the class diagram is to model the static view of an application. The class diagrams are the only diagrams which can be directly mapped with object oriented languages and thus widely used at the time of construction. The UML diagrams like activity diagram, se-quence diagram can only give the sequence flow of the application but class diagram is a bit dif-ferent. So it is the most popular UML diagram in the coder community. So the purpose of the class diagram can be summarized as:
19
Analysis and design of the static view of an application. Describe responsibilities of a system. Base for component and deployment diagrams. Forward and reverse engineering.
Contents:
Class diagrams commonly contain the following things

3. INTERACTION DIAGRAMS We have two types of interaction diagrams in UML. One is sequence diagram and the other is a collaboration diagram. The sequence diagram captures the time sequence of message flow from one object to another and the collaboration diagram describes the organization of ob-jects in a system taking part in the message flow. So the following things are to identified clearly before drawing the interaction diagram: 1. Objects taking part in the interaction. 2. Message flows among the objects. 3. The sequence in which the messages are flowing. 4. Object organization. Purpose: 1. To capture dynamic behaviour of a system. 2. To describe the message flow in the system. 3. To describe structural organization of the objects. 4. To describe interaction among objects.

6. STATE DIAGRAM State chart diagram is used to model dynamic nature of a system. They define different states of an object during its lifetime. And these states are changed by events. So State chart diagrams are useful to model reactive systems. Reactive systems can be defined as a system that responds to external or internal events. State chart diagram describes the flow of control from one state to another state. States are defined as a condition in which an object exists and it changes when some event is triggered. So the most important purpose of State chart diagram is to model life time of an object from creation to termination. State chart diagrams are also used for forward and reverse engineering of a system. But the main purpose is to model reactive system. Following are the main purposes of using State chart diagrams: 1. To model dynamic aspect of a system. 2. To model life time of a reactive system. 3. To describe different states of an object during its life time. 4. Define a state machine to model states of an object. Contents Simply state and composite states Transitions, including events and actions Common use They are use to model the dynamic aspects of a system. Event ordered behavior of any kind of objects, to model reactive objects.

7 .ACTIVITY DIAGRAM
Activity diagram is basically a flow chart to represent the flow form one activity to an-other . The activity can be described as an operation of the system. So the control flow is drawn from one
29
operation to another. This flow can be sequential, branched or concurrent. Activity di-agrams deals with all type of flow by using elements like fork, join etc.
Contents
Initial/Final State , Activity , Fork & Join , Branch , Swimlanes
Fork
A fork represents the splitting of a single flow of control into two or more concur-rentFlow of control. A fork may have one incoming transition and two or more outgoing transi-tions, each of which represents an independent flow of control. Below fork the activities associ-ated with each of these path continues in parallel.
Join
A join represents the synchronization of two or more concurrent flows of control. A join may have two or more incoming transition and one outgoing transition. Above the join the activ-ities associated with each of these paths continues in parallel.
Branching
A branch specifies alternate paths takes based on some Boolean expression Branch is represented by diamond Branch may have one incoming transition and two or more outgoing one on each outgoing transition, you place a Boolean expression shouldnt overlap but they should cover all possibilities.
Swimlane:
Swimlanes are useful when we model workflows of business processes to partition the activity states on an activity diagram into groups. Each group representing the business organization responsible for those activities ,these groups are called Swimlanes .

8. COMPONENT DIAGRAM
Component diagrams are used to model physical aspects of a system. Now the question is what are these physical aspects? Physical aspects are the elements like executables, libraries, files, documents etc which resides in a node. So component diagrams are used to visualize the organization and relationships among components in a system. These diagrams are also used to make executable systems.
Purpose:
Component diagrams can be described as a static implementation view of a system. Stat-ic implementation represents the organization of the components at a particular moment. A sin-gle component diagram cannot represent the entire system but a collection of diagrams are used to represent the whole. Before drawing a component diagram the following artifacts are to be identified clearly: Files used in the system. Libraries and other artifacts relevant to the application. Relationships among the artifacts.
Now after identifying the artifacts the following points needs to be followed: Use a meaningful name to identify the component for which the diagram is to be drawn. Prepare a mental layout before producing using tools. Use notes for clarifying important points.
Now the usage of component diagrams can be described as: 1. Model the components of a system. 2. Model database schema. 3. Model executables of an application. 4. Model systems source code.
