functional and non-functional requirement of a system. It helps you in identifying “what” the proposed
system will do and “how”?.
Instructions
1. Please read the attached MIS605_ Assessment 1_Case Study. Note that every piece of
information provided in the following case serves a purpose.
2. Once you have completed reading the case study. Please answer the following questions:
Question 1 (10 mark).
Identify all the human and non-human actors within the system. Provide brief description against every
actor.
Question 2 (30 marks).
Using the information provided in the case study, build a Use Case Diagram using any diagramming
software.
Note: Please make assumptions where needed.
Question 3 (60 marks).
