Experiment :2

a) Identify and analyze events

b) Identify Use cases
c) Develop event table
AIM: Analyze and Identify events for any case study (ATM/ Banking / Library /Hospital management
systems)
PROCEDURE:
EVENT: An event is an occurrence at a specific time and place that can be described and is
worth remembering.
TYPES OF EVENTS:
There are three types of events
(i) External events
(ii) Temporal events
(iii) State events

 Occur as result of reaching a point in time
 Based on system deadlines

State
 Something inside system triggers processing need

Events and System Requirements

Events
 Occurrences at a specific time and place
 Trigger all system processing

Requirement definition
 Determine relevant events

 External events first

 Temporal events second
 Decompose system into manageable units

Identifying Events
1. Can be difficult to determine
2. Often confused with conditions and responses
3. May be useful to trace a transaction’s life cycle
4. Certain events left to design phase
a. Systems controls to protect system integrity
b. Perfect technology assumption defers events
Case study :Library Management System

 Each column in the table represents a key piece of information about that event and
use case.
 A trigger is a signal that tells the system that an event has occurred, either
the arrival of data needing processing or a point in time.
 A source is an external agent that supplies data to the system.
 A response is an output, produced by the system, that goes to a destination.
 A destination is an external agent that receives data from the system.
