    • Non-functional requirements of the new system
      They include:
      i.    The system must efficient and reliable.
      ii.    System should be user friendly.
      iii.    The system must ensure that proper storage techniques are used.
      3.4.0    MODELLING THE FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE NEW SYSTEM
      3.4.1    Use Case diagram
      Use-case modeling is applied to analyze the functional requirements of a system. A use- case model consists of actors and use cases. An actor is an external entity that interacts with the system (similar to an external entity in data-flow diagramming). It is someone or something that exchanges information with the system. A use case represents a sequence of related actions initiated by an actor; it is a specific way of using the system. An actor represents a role that a user can play. The actor’s name should indicate that role. Actors help you to identify the use cases they carry out.
      Context diagram for the new system Level – 0 (data flow diagram) for the new system
      Data-flow diagram (DFD) is a graphical image that illustrates the movement of data between external entities, processes and data stores within a system. A data flow is data that are in motion and moving as a unit from one place in a system to another.
      A data store is data at rest. A data store may represent one of many different physical locations for data. A process is the work or actions performed on data so that they are transformed, stored, or distributed. A source/sink is the origin and/or destination of the data. Source/sinks are sometimes referred to as external entities because they are outside the system.
      A context diagram is a data-flow diagram of the scope of a system that shows the system boundaries, external entities that interact with the system, and the major information flows between the entities and the system.

      CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 3 ]In some clinics, a computer is used, albeit in an experimental way to interview patient before or after they see a doctor in order to collect information for the patient’s record and even to assist with the diagnostic process. It is suggested that patients are more relaxed and honest and frank with their replies when faced with an impersonal machine. The computer may assist in medical diagnosis; for example, there are programs that can carry out electro-cardiogram analysis to determine bo ... Continue reading---
