Use-Case Analysis Scenarios & Discussion Questions

Assignment: Use-Case Analysis Scenarios & Discussion Questions

Due date: Please refer to the “Assignments Summary” document in the Course Content area

Point Value: 100 points

The objective of this assignment is to apply the concepts of Use-Case requirements gathering as presented in the online course content (Module VI-e) and Wiegers Chapter 8. There are two parts to this assignment:

Part A: Creation of a use-case requirements document for two possible use-case scenarios that could exist in our bookstore development project.

Part B: Address a short list of questions regarding use-case as a requirements gathering technique.

Part A: Use-case scenarios

Below are four (4) possible use-case scenarios from our online bookstore application. Your objective in this assignment is to pick any two (2) of them and develop the following:

1. For one of them, use the fully-dressed use-case framework provided in figure 8.6 on page 142 in Wiegers and develop a partial use-case description (stop after the ‘exceptions’ section) for:

a. Normal course

b. Alternate course (at least one)

c. Exceptions (at least one)

2. For the second selected scenario, prepare an equivalent casual version using either of the templates on page 143 in Wiegers (figures 8.7 or 8.8).

3. For both of them address the following:

a. If given the option of selecting only a fully-dressed or casual form, identify which one would you choose and discuss why.

Online Bookstore Use-Case Scenarios (Pick any two)

A. A student looks up the textbooks for a specific course they are registered to take in the upcoming semester.

B. A faculty member places a book order for a course they will be teaching in the upcoming semester.

C. An inventory clerk for the online bookstore needs to look up the stocking level (current inventory) of a non-textbook supply item (pens, papers, spiral notebooks, etc.)

D. A visitor to the online bookstore wishes to send an online comment to a particular department of the bookstore organization.

Use Discriminant Analysis

Instructions

Two parts, please complete each one.

Part 1.  Using Green and Salkind (version 7e), Lesson 35, complete exercises 1 – 8.

Conduct a discriminate analysis to distinguish research scientists from teaching professor monguls. 

• Include the output that includes the research scientist group mean number of publications; grant money univariate ANOVA F statistic

• the discriminant function c2.

• Identify the correctly classified percentage of research scientists;

• the overall correctly classified professor monguls and research scientists.

• Identify the predictor variables that contribute the most to discriminating between the professor monguls and research scientists.

• Create a combined groups plot that displays the classification of the two groups.

The data for Exercises 6 through 8 are in the data file named lesson 35 Exercise File 2

Conduct a discriminate analysis to determine if both discriminate functions should be interpreted.  Be sure to show your results.

• Interpret the discriminant function or functions.
• Write a results section based on your analysis in APA style.

Part 2.   In two or three paragraphs, you are to explain what the Box’s M, the canonical correlation, the Chi-square, standardized canonical discriminant function coefficients, structure matrix, and the classification statistics mean and how they are interpreted.
