Citizens can log onto a website and report the location and severity of
4/8
 Cs 3332
Study online at https://quizlet.com/_2s6dow
potholes. As potholes are reported they are logged within a "public works
department repair system" and are assigned an identifying number, stored by
street address, size (on a scale of 1 to 10), location (middle, curb, etc.), district
(determined from street address), and repair priority (determined from the size
of the pothole).: Analysis classes (the nouns) manifest themselves in one of the
following ways:
External entities (e.g., other systems, devices, people) that produce or consume
information
Things (e.g, reports, displays, letters, signals) that are part of the information domain
for the problem
Occurrences or events (e.g., a property transfer or the completion of a series of robot
movements) that occur within the context of system operation
Roles (e.g., manager, engineer, salesperson) played by people who interact with the
system
Organizational units (e.g., division, group, team) that are relevant to an application
Places (e.g., manufacturing floor or loading dock) that establish the context of the
problem and the overall function
Structures (e.g., sensors, four-wheeled vehicles, or computers) that define a class
of objects or related classes of objects

A first pass might yield the following potential analysis: citizens, website, location,
pothole, repair system, address, district
31. Ch8-9
Describe the purpose of domain analysis modeling in your own words.: The
purpose of domain analysis is the creation of analysis patterns based on observed
regularities across multiple projects in an application domain.

Domain analysis is an ongoing software engineering activity that is not connected

to any one software project. It is related to the concept of requirements patterns as
domain analysis too is a process that can be characterized by a series of activities
that begin with the identification of the domain to be investigated and end with a
specification of the objects and classes that characterize the domain.
32. Ch8-10
Differentiate among causes of errors uncovered by requirements validation.: It
is important to look for places where stakeholders have communications problems.
When the requirement validation uncovers an error, it has each requirement against
a set of checklist questions. It then has a review team looking into it. The review
team includes software engineers, customers, users, and other stakeholders who
examine the specification looking for errors in content or interpretation, areas where

clarification may be required, missing information, inconsistencies (a major problem
when large products or systems are engineered), conflicting requirements, or unre-
alistic (unachievable) requirements.
33. Ch8-10
Distinguish between a responsibility and a collaborator in a CRC model.: -
Stated simply, a responsibility is "anything the class knows or does." A collaboration
implies either a request for information or a request for some action.

Responsibilities are the attributes and operations that are relevant for the class. Col-
laborators are those classes that are required to provide a class with the information
needed to complete a responsibility.
34. Ch8-10
Identify poor reasons for developing a requirements model.: define set of
software requirements that can be validated
establish basis for software design
35. Ch8-10
Match each class operation with its most likely category type.
SelectCamera( ); (A)
ComputeArea( ); (B)
Displayview( ); (c)
SoundAlarm( ); (D): A. operation that manipulate data in some way
B. operations that perform computations
C. operations inquiring about the state of an object
D. operations that monitor an object for the occurrence of a controlling event
36. Ch8-10
Outline reasons that many software developers do not pay enough attention
to requirements engineering.: Requirements change and customers often do not
know what they want, so developers often just hope to get buy in on the first
prototype.

Understanding the requirements of a problem is among the most difficult tasks that
a software engineer faces. Since requirements change continuously, some software
developers tend to pay little attention to writing them down and may not keep the
requirements list updated as changes occur. Requirements engineering builds a
bridge to design and construction and cannot be skipped.
37. Ch8-10
UML activity diagrams are useful in representing which analysis model ele-
ments?: scenario-based elements
