Question 3.14
S&K GmbH is a food discounter operating throughout Europe. The name of the discounter is country-
specific in order to be accepted more readily by its customers and also to facilitate identification.
To supply the individual stores, there is a central warehouse where the following work takes place:
Suppliers bring in a weekly shipment of materials. This is recorded by the warehouse clerk and stored in
the central warehouse. This material can now be used for distribution to the individual stores. The stores
send a daily requisition list. In this list, the material types and the required number of pieces are speci-
fied. The number of pieces is based on the quantity of goods sold each day. With the requisition list, the
ordered materials of a store are compiled and then distributed by the storekeeper.
When the materials are distributed, but also when a new delivery is put into storage, the material stock
is determined in each case. This enables the central warehouse to check at any time how much materi-
al is available in the warehouse and how long a product remains in the warehouse on average (possibil-
ity to identify trends). When the material stock is determined, a prompt additional order for the material
is triggered if the stock falls below a minimum quantity.
You should use this description to document the requirements in a model-based manner. Which of the
following diagram types can best be used?
(1 answer)
 A) Use Case Diagram

 B) State Diagram
 C) Component Diagram
 D) Packet Diagram
 E) Assembly Diagram

Question 3.18
You have been assigned to proofread a class model. You have been given the following description:
The company has at least one consultant. For legal reasons, consultants may only be employed by
one company. Of course, there are also independent consultants who are not employed by any com-
pany. One or more consultants can support a project. One consultant can even support several pro-
jects. In times of crisis, it may also happen that a consultant does not support any project. In this case,

specifies the required qualifications through its portfolio. Consultants are then sought for these qualifi-
cations. It is quite possible that a qualification cannot be covered by any consultant or that several
consultants have the same qualification.

Question 3.19
The UML diagram below shows the process of a temperature monitoring software. Three sensors are
read out and their values are recorded in a text file. The temperatures are then compared with each
other and evaluated. Due to the criticality of the system, the temperatures must not exceed the value 90
(= normal). If they do, the system generates an error message. During normal operation, a green LED
lights up and the system generates a "Normal operation" status message.

Question 6.6
Your company develops navigation systems for all kinds of vehicles. The range extends from systems
used on large container ships to systems for passenger cars. For the development, requirement specifi-
cations are created by the customer and sent to you. From these specifications, you create a descrip-
tion of how the system will look. You can fall back on existing specifications, because it is not always a
completely new development: Most of the time, existing products have to be adapted or extended. The
customer's specification and your system description are managed in a requirements management tool.
In the best case, you already receive a file for this, which only has to be imported into the tool, or the
specification is transferred manually or semi-automatically into the RM tool. Between the requirements
specification and the product specification, a meaningful traceability is also established. With every
customer order, there is the big question of what the development should cost. For this estimation, it is
