51. What is WRONG with the following analysis use case? Use case : Purchase Ticket Actors : Customer Preconditions: The customer is logged onto the systeem. The customer profile already exists. Postconditions: The ticket is sold and the seats are assigned to the customer and the system is updated. Primary Flow : 1. The use case begins when the customer selects the option to view flight information. 2. The system prompts for the departure and destination cities and the departure and return dates. 3. The user enters the departure and destination city, departure date, and return date. 4. The system displays a list of available flights, including the fare. 5. The user selects the flight they would like to reserve. 6. The system displays all available fare options for that flight. 7. The user selects the fare option they would like to reserve. 8. The system displays the fare that the user will pay. 9. The user confirms the rate. 10. The system prompts for a credit card type, number, name and expiration date. 11. The user enters the card type, number,name, and expiration date. 12. The system sends the request to the credit processor which interfaces to the external credit system to confirm customer's credit. 13. The system reserves a seat on the plane for the user. 14. The system generates and displays a confirmation code to the user. 15. The user confirms receipt of the code. 16. The use case ends.

  1. There is nothing wrong with the use case
  2. There are design details intermixed with the requirements.
  3. "Purchase Ticket" is too broad to be a use case.
  4. The actor's action and system responses are not separated.

52. Which of the following statements are true about Use Case Diagrams?

  1. Use case diagrams fulfill a specific purpose : to document the actors (everything outside the system scope), the use cases (everything inside the system scope), and their relationships.
  2. Generalizations as well as other types of associations can be modelled between actors.
  3. Includes, Extends and other types of associations can be drawn directly between two use cases.
  4. Every use case must be initiated by an actor. The exception here is an includes or extends relationship.

56. Which of the following is the BEST list of classes for the following application? The Next Generation Vending Machine Foods R Us is considering the development of a futuristic vending machine. The machine will have capabilities not found in current vending machines. The goals of this project are : a) Reduce the amount of labor necessary to stock a machine. b) Improve the quality of the delivered product c) Reduce the amount of time the machine has to wait for re-stock d) Reduce the down-time of the machine. e) Reduce the possibility of someone tampering with a product. The NexGen Vending Machine (NGVM) will be very similar in appearance to the existing low-tech vending machines. There will be rotatable trays divided into compartments. There will be a door associated with each tray. The user pushes a button to rotate her selection to the position behind the door. After the correct amount of money has been deposited, the machine will allow the door to be opened and the food removed. The way in which the NGVM operates will be very different from that of the current machines. Stockers will carry a portable bar code reader. This reader will plug into a receptacle in the NGVM. Each compartment will have its own bar code label, as will each food package. The compartment bar code will provide a unique identification for the compartment. The package bar code will contain the item description code, price and the expiration date, if any. The service technician will scan each item and the compartment label as the machine is stocked. The use of the bar code has several advantages. * Expired food will not be sold * The stocker will not have to ensure that all of the items on a particular tray have the same price * We will be able to give a real time inventory to the main office over a network connection The machine will be connected to the main office computer over a phone line. The machine will automatically inform the computer of any of the following conditions: * Food has passed the expiration date * Food supplies in the machine are low * The amount of money in the machine passes a pre-set limit or * Self-test fails The machine will also be able to respond to inquiries from the host computer.

60. Find the use cases for the following Catalog Ordering System. Customers can place orders for good and perform various activities as described below : * A single order can be placed for multiple line items. ( For example, customer can place a single order for a sun glasses, hat and a belt) * Customers can cancel both entire orders and individual items in orders. Canceling an order results in canceling all items in the order. * An item can be canceled if it has not already been shipped or previously canceled. * Customers can also return items they do not want. A customer may have any number of orders pending at any time. The Catalogs R Us system must generate a unique order number for each order. This number serves as the a key the customer can use to identify the order. Catalogs R Us system maintains an inventory of goods. Order items are allocated from that inventory. When its inventory is exhausted, an item will be back-ordered from a supplier. Customer orders are paid using either credit or debit cards. Hence, each order must include a credit or debit card number. Catalogs R Us obtains funds from that card when the order is placed. Catalogs R Us ships only complete orders. If one or more items in an order are currently unavailable, the shipment of the other parts of the order will be delayed until those items become available. The order processing system must also interact with legacy software. Catalogs R Us has a product warehouse legacy system that handles inventory management (including ordering goods from suppliers). It also has a legacy shipping system that handles shipping (including tracking the progress of the shipment).

  1. Place Order, Cancel Order, Cancel Order Item
  2. Place Order, Cancel Order, Return Order Item
  3. Place Order, Cancel Order, Cancel Order Item, Return Order Item

62. Which of the following is the BEST list of candidate classes for the Library System described below? Libraries R Us Inc is developing code to handle checkout duties at a library. Library members may check out books and videos from the library. The system must keep track of which books and videos each member currently has checked out. Each book and video has a unique item number that is used by the system to index that book or video. A clerk may check the status of a book or video (in the library, checked out, checked out and overdue) by supplying the item number. A clerk may also check either on a book by supplying the title and author, or on a video by supplying only the title. Each library member has a library card that includes their membership number. When a member checks out a book or video, a clerk enters the membership number and the item number of the book or video. If the borrower has fewer than ten borrowed books or videos (in total), and if the borrower has no overdue books or videos, the book or video is loaned to the borrower. The conditions of the loan include a due date (two weeks for books and three days for videotapes)

64. Which of the following statement is true about the following sequence of activities? 1. Identify the classes in the system. You can use noun phrases or abstraction to do this. 2. Make a list of the responsibilities of the objects of each class. An object's responsibilities are what it must know and do (i.e, its state and behavior - CRC cards are helpful). 3. Identify interesting scenarios that you will use to validate your enumeration of responsibilities. To do this, you can first identify and model the use cases. 4. Draw an interaction diagram for each scenario, validating that you have all necessary responsibilities. Add (or rearrange) responsibilities as necessary. ( GRASP patterns can be used). 5. Repeat : Identify responsibilities, draw interaction diagrams, add responsibilities, and re-draw the interaction diagrams until you have what you believe is a complete set of responsibilities.
