5 Use of Models in Requirements Engineering 10%
Candidates will be able to:
5.1 Explain the rationale for modelling the functional requirements (processing and data)
of an information system and describe how models help the analyst to:
5.1.1 Generate questions in order to clarify a requirement and remove ambiguity.
5.1.2 Define business rules.
5.1.3 Cross-check requirements for consistency and completeness.
5.2 Interpret a given scenario to develop a context diagram.
5.3 Interpret a given scenario to identify the different types of event that can initiate
processing (external, time based, internal).
5.4 Understand how to construct a UML use case diagram for a given scenario to
represent the functional requirements for an information system, including the
following notational elements:
5.4.1 System boundary.
5.4.2 Actors (user role, another system and time).
5.4.3 Use cases.

– It should be noted that there is no requirement to understand include and extend
constructs.
5.5 Interpret a UML Class diagram (comprising of classes, attributes, associations and
multiplicities) that represents the data requirements for a given scenario, and
describe the business rules that are represented.
– It should be noted that there is no requirement to understand operations,
association classes, generalisation (and associated concepts of inheritance and
polymorphism), aggregation and composition.

this can be achieved by using a CRUD matrix (of function or event against data).
