Use cases go much further in terms of specification details. User stories are

developed as part of requirement analysis after having an initial conversation with

the user, whereas use cases understand and develop the next level of details around

the user's needs. The following set of user stories have been identified for a smart

home control system, after interviewing with several homeowners and residents:

i

$.$

$$As a resident, I want lights to flash if I

$\text{'}$

m in the study room when the doorbell is

pressed, so that I can understand that someone has come while I

$\text{'}$

m listening to

loud music.

ii

$.$

$$As a resident, I want to see a time

$-$

stamped photo of anyone pressing the

doorbell, so that I can be convinced that I've had deliveries claimed to have been

attempted.

iii. As a resident, I want an intercom system in the doorbell linked to my phone so

that I can talk with any couriers who turn up while I

$\text{'}$

m out.

iv

$.$

$$As a resident, I want to know the open

$/$

closed state of extemal doors so that I

won't get paranoid that I left the front door open when I left the house.

v

$.$

$$As a resident, I want to track the temperature in my bedroom so that it does not

affect my sleep quality.

vi

$.$

$$As a resident, I want to be able to generate lights

$/$

noise indoors reminiscent of

human activity so that the house still looks occupied while I am away.

vii. As a resident, I want automated blinds

$/$

curtain control so that I can simulate

activity while I

$\text{'}$

m away from the house and ensure our plants still get some light.

viii. As a resident, I want to be able to turn off lights from bed, so that I can turn

downstairs lights off when I get into bed, turn my bedside lamp off ready to sleep,

and realize that I accidentally left a light on downstairs.

ix

$.$

$$As a resident I want to know the light level, occupancy and if the window's

open in a room, so that I don't accidentally leave the study window open when it

gets dark and find that an army of mosquitos has invaded.

x

$.$

$$As a resident, I want more centralized control of lights in a room so that I don't

have to go round the room switching side lights on

$/$

off individually.

Assume that the software for the smart home control system is being developed

using an object

$-$

oriented approach. Identify possible objects in the system and

develop an object

$-$

oriented design for it

$,$

$$in UML. Specify explicitly any reasonable

assumptions you made about the systems when deriving your design.

Draw a state machine diagram showing the possible state changes related to the

automated blinds

$/$

curtain control subsystem of the smart home control system.
