Modeling of selected set of software requirements using UML class diagrams

Unified Modeling Language (UML) is used to model and design the software requirements. Among various components of UML, class diagram is employed to model the software requirements in terms of objects organized in classes and relationships between them. In real life applications, it has been observed that a system may have several requirements and it is not possible to model each and every requirement because of time, budget, and other constraints of an organization. Based on our review, we found that, in literature less attention is given to the modeling of the software requirements from the selected set of the requirements using UML class diagrams. Therefore, to address this issue, in this paper we present a method for modeling of the selected set of the software requirements using UML class diagrams. The applicability of the proposed method is discussed with the help of the software requirements of an institute examination system.
