Introduction

Use-Case modeling is a diagrammatic representation used to describe users and functions for a particular system. Use-case modeling uses Unified Modeling Language (UML) to represent users, functions and their boundaries. In UML terminology, users of the system are called Actors while as the functions of the system are referred to as Use-Cases.

Purpose
The purpose of this artifact is to describe the Use-Case Model for Bar-coded Assessment System for Independent Learning (BASIL) for Coventry University. This artifact describes the main actors, use-cases and views of the BASIL system which have been identified at this stage of the project.
