Software Engineering Questions - Summary Answers

1. Validating Requirements in the Reporting Module

To validate conflicting requirements for the reporting module:

- Engage in Stakeholder Analysis: Discuss the specific needs of each group - daily reports for store managers, weekly

trends for sales, and data security concerns for IT.

- Define Compromises and Flexibility: Design the module to allow flexibility in report generation (both daily and weekly

options).

- Ensure Data Security Compliance: Incorporate security features (e.g., access control, data masking) to meet IT's

security needs.

2. Role of Stereotypes in UML

Stereotypes in UML allow custom extensions of standard UML elements by adding specific metadata. They enable

enhanced readability and customization. For instance, in a class diagram, using stereotypes like <<Entity>> for

data-centric classes or <<Controller>> for control classes clarifies their roles, aiding in design clarity and maintainability.

3. Importance of Requirements Monitoring

Requirements monitoring is crucial for maintaining project relevance. It ensures the system aligns with stakeholder

needs and adapts to changes. Challenges include tracking evolving needs, preventing scope creep, and managing

documentation updates.

4. Role of UML in Software Engineering

UML aids in all phases of development, providing a common language for design and documentation. Use cases help in

requirements gathering, class diagrams assist in design, and sequence diagrams clarify interactions. Throughout the

lifecycle, UML diagrams ensure a shared understanding among developers and stakeholders.

5. Resolving Conflicting Requirements

To resolve conflicts:
1. Gather Clear Requirements: Understand each stakeholder's needs.

2. Prioritize and Negotiate: Prioritize requirements based on business impact and reach compromises.

3. Document Agreements: Record all decisions to prevent future misunderstandings.

6. Ensuring Consistency in Large-scale Projects

For consistent UML documentation:

- Define a Style Guide for diagram notations.

- Regular Peer Reviews to ensure uniformity across diagrams.

- Tool Integration to automate consistency checks across diagrams in the model.

7. Car Rental System UML Class Diagram

Classes:

- Vehicle: Attributes - vehicle ID, make, model, year.

- Customer: Attributes - customer ID, name, license number, contact.

- Rental: Attributes - start date, end date, total cost; Associations - 1 Customer rents 1 Vehicle.

Explanation: This design enforces one-to-one relationships for each rental, supporting business rules for tracking rentals

and managing data integrity.
