SMB4201 Systems Analysis and Design Assessment item
2 – Analysis Report
In Assessment 2, you model the user requirements and present the relevant modelling diagrams in a
report.
The Tasks
1) Determine the functional and non-functional requirements of your proposed system.
2) Justify the system development approach (Adaptive or Predictive)
3) Create a work breakdown structure based on SDLC.
4) Following models need to be created.
You will produce the following UML model diagrams to be made different parts of a report for
submission.
a. Use case diagram for the Rental Check-out System (CRCS).
b. A System Sequence Diagram for the Web Rental Check-out System (WRCS).
Report Layout
The analysis report should be organised using the following headings and guidelines:
c. A Cover Title Page
d. Introduction
a. Should clearly define the aims and objectives of the project in the report
b. Explain what contents will be covered in the report
e. A depiction of the user’s requirements analysis approach: and WBS in MS project
a. Use Case Diagram for the Rental Check-out System (CRCS);
b. A System Sequence Diagram for the Web Rental Check-out System (WRCS);
f. Assumptions that have been made during the modelling of the system user requirements.
a. When analysing an organization’s business processes, there are usually some issues which
need to be clarified before you can proceed, particularly when the issues affect the way you
developed your models.
b. Note: In practice you would simply ask the users. In this case you should make reasonable
assumptions of what you believe the users would advise you and list those assumptions here
g. Conclusions and Recommendations
a. A summary of your findings and your recommendations as to whether or not the project
should continue/ how to continue

Across the course, these skills are developed across 3 levels. These are:
Level 1 Foundation – Students learn the basic skills, theories and techniques of the subject
and apply them in basic, standalone contexts
Level 2 Intermediate – Students further develop skills, theories and techniques of the subject
and apply them in more complex contexts, beginning to integrate the application with other
subjects.
Level 3 Advanced – Students have a demonstrated ability to plan, research and apply the
skills, theories and techniques of the subject in complex situations, integrating the subject
content with a range of other subject disciplines within the context of the course.
Listed below, are key knowledge and skills students are expected to attain by successfully
completing this subject:
