Q6.what steps you follow to draw a usecase diagram from a Case study? 5 Marks

1- Identify Primary Actor & secondary Actor

2- Write all sequence of actions
3- Identify which actor is performing what action
4- Identify essential & supporting use case
5- Identify relationships between actor & use case
6- Identify some modules with respect to functionality or usage.
7- Some info to be kept in mind that cannot be used in the use case diagram like name of the system,
Architecture, Database 7 networks

Q7. Why MVC Architecture is used? What are MVC Rules in identifying classes? What guidelines will you
follow to place the classes on a three tier Architecture? What are persistence and Transient classes?
10 Marks
The MVC architectural pattern is used to allow the separation of the 3 common features of GUI
application.
1. The Application layer (how the data and actions will be visually presented)
2. The Business Layer (how the data will be used)
3. The Data Layer (database)

MVC rules in identifying classes:

1. Combination of one actor & one-use case into one boundary class
2. Combination of two actors and use case in two boundary class
3. Combination of three actors and use case results in three boundary class
4. Use case will result into controller class
5. Each Actor will result in one entity class

Guidelines:
1. Place all entity classes in Database layer
2. Primary actor associated boundary class is to be places in application layer
3. Controller class will be placed in application layer
4. If governing body influence or reusability is there with any of remaining boundary classes
then place them in Business layer else put them in application layer

Persistent classes – entity classes

Transient classes – Boundary classes or controller classes

Q 10. Draw a Use case Diagram and Activity Diagram 15 Marks

The hospital has several specialized departments like Cardiology, Gynecologic, Orthopedics, Pediatrics,
ENT etc. OPD is another independent department. A doctor is only associated with one specialized
department at a time though he/she can be a member of the OPD (Outside Patients Department)
department. Each doctor has a visiting time and day in a week.
At reception the patient details are entered and the fees are also taken and the patient is tracked on the
basis of the Id generated.
In routine a patient can visit the doctors either directly selecting a doctor or by getting admitted
to the hospital and then a doctor visits the patients.
A doctor can prescribe tests for the patient to perform. The patient visits the lab to get done the tests
prescribed by his/her doctor. The reports are given to the patient. The payments pertaining to the tests
are done at the reception. Referring the reports, the doctor prescribes the patient medicines or further
tests or is asked to get admitted.
A patient is admitted into a ward of a specialized department (if available) as per the doctor’s
prescription. The number of wards is limited and if there is no vacant ward the admission of the patient
is rescheduled.
As per the prescription of the doctor the patient is operated on a specified date and time as decided by
the doctor who is doing the operation.
After the completion of the treatment a patient may get discharged on an advice of a doctor and upon
the complete payment of all due charges at the reception. On payment of full dues, the reception
generates a discharge ticket for the patient
