In assessment 2 – ‘Practical & Written Assessment’, all students need to complete their assigned tasks and produce an individual reporting document for submissions. As you have developed a reporting document for Assessment 1 using a provided template file, please use your experience in Assessment 1 – Written Assessment to help you develop your Assessment 2. Assessment 2 is also a reporting document in an essay format (see ‘Help’ below) with predetermined lay out and required contents as in ‘Layout of Your Reporting Document’ below.
Please note that ALL submitted reporting documents (MS Word documents) are passed through a computerized copy detection system and it is extremely easy for teaching staff to identify copied or otherwise plagiarised work.
· Copying (plagiarism) can incur penalties ranging from deduction of marks to failing the course or even exclusion from the University.
· Please ensure you are familiar with the University’s Plagiarism Policy, available from:

Requirements
Both the Assessments 1 and 2 are related to the same project case study. Assessment 2 follows on from Assessment 1. In assessment 1, you have presented your system development project and the management has approved your system development project. Next, you will investigate and discover the information system requirements and document the analysis results as in various types of modelling diagrams. In the Assessment 2– Practical & Written Assessment, you will explain how your project team used techniques like interview, survey questionnaire, observation, etc. to investigate what the users in the given case study Healthstone Hospital Pharmacy expect the system to work.
The collected information and your analysis results have given you a deep insight of the system to prepare some very useful models for the management and the development team. The modelling diagrams aims to present the system user requirements well, esp. all levels of system functionalities, database schema and detailed system processes. Many models are what you have learnt in this course.
Complete the following tasks and document your work in your written assessment.
The Tasks
1. Explain your choice of the 3 most useful investigation techniques that you have used to investigate the new automated information system, Healthstone Hospital Pharmacy system and the reasons for choosing them.
2. After you have analysed your collected information produce the following UML diagrams for Healthstone Hospital Pharmacy system.
A Use Case Diagram –
• With all the critical use cases in the entire system
B Domain Model Class Diagram –
• With all important classes needed in the entire system
C An Activity Diagram –
•
Prescriptions are written by doctors and sent to the pharmacy. A pharmacy technician reviews each
prescription and sends it to the appropriate pharmacy station.
D A System Sequence Diagram –
•
Assume that the Doctor is an actor using the new system for placing an order to the pharmacy.
Note that when developing each diagram, you may make some assumptions which will affect the results of your presented modelling diagram. For examples,
o When analysing an organization’s business processes, there are usually some issues which need to be clarified before you can proceed, particularly when the issues affect the way you developed your models.
o In practice you would simply ask the users. In this case you should make reasonable assumptions of what you believe the users would advise you and list those assumptions here.
Right after a presented diagram, explain each diagram to your readers and your assumptions made in modelling it.
Please check that no task is missed out in the reporting document and it is a well written reporting document of analysis clearly free from content errors and linguistic errors before making your Assessment 2 online submission.
Layout of Your Reporting Document
The written assessment (see “Help” to present it in an essay format) should be organised using the following headings and guidelines:
A Cover Title Page
Introduction:
Should clearly define the aims and objectives of the project in the reporting document Explain all findings in the reporting document.
Task 1.
Explain the useful techniques used to investigate the new automated information system, Healthstone Hospital Pharmacy system and why they are chosen
Task 2.
The user requirement specifications presented as UML models by adopting an object- orientated analysis approach:
Task 2A.
A
Case Diagram
for the entire system;
Task 2B. A
Class Diagram
for the entire system;
Task 2C.
An
Activity Diagram
- with the
specific requirements
as indicated in the task above; and
Task 2D.
A
System Sequence Diagram
- with the
specific requirements
as indicated in the task above.
Each UML model diagram with clear explanations and assumption(s)
Conclusions
A summary of your findings as to whether or not the project should continue/ how to continue
