EXPERIMENT 1
1. Theory
he theory behind writing a problem statement involves understanding how a clear and precise
T
problem statement forms the foundation of a successful solution. Definition of a problem
statement: The problem statement is a concise description of the issues that need to be
addressed. It identifies the gap between the current state and the desired future state.
Characteristics of a good problem statement: Clarity: The statement should be free of ambiguity
and precisely define the problem. Stakeholder focus: It should address the needs and
challenges of all stakeholders involved in the hospital (patients, doctors, nurses, admin staff).
Scope: The problem statement should be neither too broad nor too narrow. Problem
Identification: Discuss how understanding the operational inefficiencies and patient care delays
in a hospital can lead to formulating a concrete problem. Linking to the solution: The problem
statement should naturally lead to a structured solution that can be implemented.
In a video library, keeping track of hundreds or thousands of videos, their availability, and their
rental status can be tedious. Customers may encounter difficulties locating desired videos or
face delays due to misplaced items. Meanwhile, librarians struggle to manage loan records, late
returns, fines, and inventory updates. A VLMS addresses these issues by providing an
organized platform where librarians can easily manage video rentals and returns, view the
status of each video in real time, and generate reports on library usage and inventory.
ey features of a VLMS include a video catalog system, customer management, borrowing and
K
returning functionalities, notifications for overdue videos, and reporting tools for usage statistics.
It may also offer search and recommendation features to improve the customer experience.
2. Requirements
● V ideo Inventory Management: A centralized database to store details of all videos
(e.g., title, genre, release date, availability).
● Customer Management: Keep track of registered users, their borrowing history, and
personal information.
● Borrow and Return Management: Automated process for borrowing videos, tracking
due dates, and returning items.
● Overdue Notifications: Send reminders to customersfor overdue videos.
● Fines Calculation: Automatically calculate late feesbased on overdue days.
● Search and Recommendation System: Allow customersto search for videos based on
genre, title, or actor and provide personalized recommendations.
● Report Generation: Provide detailed reports on videoavailability, borrowing statistics,
and customer activity.
● U sability: The system should be easy to use for bothcustomers and staff, with intuitive
navigation.
● Scalability: The system should support the library’sgrowth, allowing more videos,
customers, and transactions to be added over time.
● Security: Ensure that customer data and video informationare protected with
role-based access controls and encryption.
● Performance: The system should be fast and responsive,even during peak usage.
● Reliability: The system should operate consistentlywithout downtime, ensuring
customers can access the service at any time.
Conclusion
he problem statement was developed to highlight the challenges of managing video libraries
T
manually. The proposedVideo Library Management System(VLMS)aims to automate
operations, reduce inefficiencies, and enhance the overall user experience. This system will
address the identified issues by providing features like inventory management, customer
tracking, overdue notifications, and reporting tools, ultimately leading to smoother operations
and improved service quality.
EXPERIMENT 2
AIM- Design Use Case Diagram Of The Case Study
Theory
Use Case Diagram is a visual representation that shows how different actors (users or
A
external systems) interact with a system to achieve specific goals or sets of goals. It focuses on
the functional requirements of the system, identifying the different processes it supports and
how users engage with those processes.
Actors:
1. U ser: Represents a library member who can performvarious actions related to
accessing and interacting with videos.
2. Librarian: Represents a staff member responsible formanaging the library's video
resources and generating reports.
Use Cases:
Relationships:
1. A ssociations: Each actor is connected to their respectiveuse cases to indicate which
functionalities they can access.
2. Includes/Extends: Although not explicitly shown inthe provided diagram, some
potential relationships could be:
○ Include: "Log in" could be included in other actions,as it is a prerequisite for
accessing other functionalities.
○ Extend: "Comments" could extend "Video Catalog," asUsers may need to view
a video in the catalog before leaving a comment on it.
Theory
In software engineering, use case descriptions help describe how a system responds to
interactions from external actors, detailing each scenario and providing step-by-step behavior
for achieving a specific goal. This textual representation of a use case defines the interactions
between an actor and the system, showing how the system will respond to the user’s actions.
efinition of a Use Case Description: A use case descriptionis a structured narrative that
D
defines interactions between an actor and the system to achieve a specific goal. It describes
how the system will behave in response to various user actions.

AIM-D
raw Data Flow Diagram (DFD) of the given case study
Theory:
The theory behind Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs) involves understanding how data moves
through a system, interacting with processes, data stores, and external entities. DFDs provide
a high-level visualization of how information is exchanged within a system.
A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a graphical representation that illustrates how data flows through a
system, showing where data comes from, how it is processed, and where it goes. DFDs are used to
model the system's functionality and the interactions between different components (processes, data
stores, and external entities).
Levels of DFDs:
1. Processes:
Represent the functions or activities that transform data. In a Video Library Management
System, examples might include:
○ "Register User"
○ "Search Video"
○ "Rent Video"
○ "Add/Remove Video"
○ "Generate Report"
2. Data Flows:
Arrows that show how data moves between processes, external entities, and data stores. For
example:
○ "User Details" flows from the "Register User" process to the "User Database."
○ "Video Information" flows from the "Add Video" process to the "Video Catalog."
3. Data Stores:
Represent where data is stored in the system, such as databases. In a Video Library
Management System, these could be:
○ "User Database" (stores user details)
○ "Video Catalog" (stores video information like title, genre, and availability)
○ "Transaction Records" (stores rented videos and their due dates)
4. External Entities:
These are sources or destinations of data that interact with the system but are outside its
control. For example:
○ Users (Members):Interact with the system to rentvideos, search the catalog, and
provide feedback.
○ Librarian (Admin):Manages the video catalog, addsor removes videos, and
generates reports.
Requirements:
Theory:
Requirements:
● U nderstanding of System Data: A thorough understanding of the entities involved in
the video library system and how they interact with each other.
● Consultation with Stakeholders: Interact with library staff and users to understand the
data needs of the system, ensuring all necessary entities are captured.
● Database Design Principles: Knowledge of how to structure a database efficiently,
ensuring proper normalization and minimizing redundancy.
● Diagramming Tools: Use of software tools such as Microsoft Visio, Lucidchart, or any
ERD design tool to create the diagram.
● Identification of Entities and Relationships: Carefully identify the key entities (such as
User, Video, Transaction) and their relationships, ensuring accuracy in cardinality.
