Part II (10 marks – UML):
Question 1: The following table describes the required behavior of a car’s cruise control
system. Draw a UML state chart diagram to show the same information. Use super states
(where appropriate) to simplify your diagram and be sure to label all transitions with the
relevant events and conditions. (3 pts)

Question 2: Draw a sequence diagram for the following casual use case:
A customer calls an insurance clerk at the insurance company and gives his/her policy
number. The clerk enters this information, and the system displays the basic insurance
policy. The clerk then checks the information to make sure the premiums are current and
the policy is in force.
The customer gives the make, model, year, and vehicle identification number (VIN) of the
car to be added. The clerk enters this information, and the system validates that the given
data is valid. Next the customer selects the types of coverage desired and the amount of
each. The clerk enters the information, and the system records each and validates the
requested amount against the policy limits. After all of the coverages have been entered,
the system validates the total coverage against all other ranges, including other cars on the
policy.
Finally, the customer must identify all drivers and the percent of time they drive the car. If
a new driver is to be added, then another use case, Add new driver, is invoked.
At the end of the process, the system updates the policy, calculates a new premium amount,
and prints the updated policy statement to be mailed out to the policy owner. (3 pts.)

Question 3: Draw class diagram for the following case study: DownTown Videos is a chain
of 11 video stores scattered throughout a major metropolitan area in the Midwest. The
chain started with a single store several years ago and has grown to its present size. Paul
Lowes, the owner of the chain, knows that to compete with the national chains will require
a state-of-the-art movie rental system. You have been asked to develop the system
requirements for the new system.
Each store has a stock of movies and video games for rent. It is important to keep track of
each movie title to know and to identify its category (classical, drama, comedy, and so on),
its rental type (new release, standard), movie rating, and other general information such as
movie producer, release date, cost, and so forth. In addition to tracking each title, the
business must track each individual copy to note its purchase date, its condition, and its
rental status. User functions must be provided to maintain this inventory information.
Customers, the lifeblood of the business, are also tracked. DownTown considers each
family to be a customer, so special mailings and promotions are offered to each household.
For any given customer, several people may be authorized to rent videos and games. The
primary contact for each customer can also establish rental parameters for other members
of the household. For example, if a parent wants to limit a child’s rental authorization to
only PG and PG-13 movies, the system will track that.
Each time a movie is rented, the system must keep track of which copies of which movies
and games are rented; the rental date and time and the return date and time; and the
household and person renting the movie. Each rental is considered to be open until all of
the movies and games have been returned. Customers pay for rentals when checking out
videos at the store. (4 pts.)

Part III (15 marks –Software Metrics):
Question 1
A Purchase Order software has the following capabilities: to add a new order and to initiate a
change request to an order. The users can inquiry the status of an order and the regional
report. A regional report will be generated and an order notification report will be distributed.
Count the Function Points for this software (3 pts.). Calculate the total software cost by
considering the following assumptions (3 pts.):
It is assumed that developers would be given a salary of $20/h for 8h/day workday
Developers would work 5 days per week for a total of 160 hours / month
The average productivity is set to 6.5 pm (same value as seen in class)
The complexity factors are set to an average complexity except for “add a new order” is
high in complexity.

Question 4: (3 pts.)
For the following project description, generate estimates for total effort, project duration and
number of people needed using COCOMO model. CAD CO, Inc, wants to produce a system
that will perform computer-aided design for the home constrcution industry. They are a new
compnay, and thought they want to be the best in CAD systems. Overall, they are
inexperienced. What type of this project? Initial analysis of the problem leads to requirements
calling for 3 major modules, with the following sizes:
Screen drawing 2.00 KDSI
Object-base management 3.50 KDSI
Algebra/Numerical Methods 1.75 KDSI
