Draft Use-Cases Diagram with Scenarios

Use Microsoft Visio and Word to develop the high-level use-cases with scenarios for your CS 480-481 project

1. Use Visio to graphically draw the high-level use-cases. These may fit neatly onto a one-page diagram or, alternatively, be represented in a hierarchy of diagrams. A sample use-cases diagram (as an Adobe 5.0 PDF file, one-page, 6K) is available for viewing.
2. Use Microsoft Word to write out scenarios for each high-level use-case. A sample scenario (as an Adobe 5.0 PDF file, one-page, 60K) is available for viewing.

State your use-cases in terms of primary actors pursuing high-level goals. Concentrate on the big picture, avoid specifying user interface or implementation details. Scenarios should explain how the series of steps the system undertakes to deliver the high-level goal (and possible errors along the way).

Grading criteria

This assignment is referred to as a draft use-cases diagram and scenario because these documents will most likely need to be revised and then included in your Software Requirements Specification Document.

A scoring rubric will be used for assessing this assignment. You are encouraged to print this rubric and use it as a checklist for expectations, guidelines, and quality assurance.

Honor code: The work needs to be your own. You may receive assistance in the lab with the software, but you need to complete the work yourself.

Submission Guidelines

Due date: Tuesday, November 25 at the start of class.

Turn in your neatly printed use-cases diagram and your scenarios at the start of class. Be sure your team name is included with the printouts
