Solution a
Use-case: withdrawal at an ATM
Primary actor: customer, bank card, ATM
Precondition: ATM is ready
Trigger: customer decides to make a withdrawal Scenario:
Customer insert bank card into ATM Customer input password
Customer press the withdrawal
Customer input the number of money Customer gets the money
Customer takes out the bank card Exception:
The bank card is not recognized – see abnormal process
Password is incorrect or not recognized – see abnormal process Money does not get out – see abnormal process
The bank card can not be took out – see abnormal process

10. In a few sentences, try to describe the primary differences between structured analysis and object-oriented analysis.
Answer: Structured analysis begins with a consideration of the data objects that the system must manipulate. In structured analysis the data objects are described with a data dictionary and
the entity relation diagram (ERD) depicts relationships between data objects. The flow and
transformation of data through a system are represented using the data flow diagram (DFD). The structured analysis also incorporates a behavioral modeling notation called the state transition diagram (STD). In the object oriented analysis model, class-based elements model the objects that the system will manipulate, the operations that will be applied to the objects to effect the manipulation, relationships (some hierarchical) between the objects, and the collaborations that occur between the classes that are defined. In addition the OO model represents the behavior of objects and the behavior of the system
