User - Requirement

A simple user management showcase, step by step with help of ChatGPT.

Local Group

Preface

Goal: Starting from Requirement.

The basic requirement document has been asked to ChatGPT as below questions:

What is the proper requirement for user management in site admin?
Can you make a vision document for this case?
How about SRS?
Can this above be written in UML fashioned?
Would you mind writing this down into PlantUML format?
You know what? You are great bro! Really.

Consider examine one, by one.

Proper Requirement

What is the proper requirement for user management in site admin?

Proper requirements for user management in a site admin typically include:

User registration: A user registration system should be in place that allows users to create accounts and manage their profile information.
User authentication: A secure login system that requires users to authenticate themselves with a unique username and password should be implemented to ensure that only authorized users can access the site.
User roles and permissions: User roles and permissions should be defined and implemented to limit access to certain areas of the site based on the user’s role.
User profile management: Users should be able to manage their profile information, including their personal details, contact information, and preferences.
Password management: A password reset feature should be available to users who forget their passwords, and password policies should be in place to ensure that passwords are strong and secure.
User activity monitoring: User activity should be monitored to ensure that users are not engaging in unauthorized activities or violating the site’s terms of service.
User data management: Users’ data should be stored securely and in compliance with applicable data protection regulations.

By implementing these requirements, site admins can ensure that users can securely and efficiently use the site while also protecting user data and maintaining the site’s integrity.

Pair Discussion

I cannot assume that ChatGPT is right, so I need a friend to discuss response for each point.

ChatGPT is definitely better than my cute duck rubber friend. This rubber duck is silence as usual.

Vision Document

This is considered as Vision Document version 1.0. We should prepare for any changes later.

Can you make a vision document for this case?

Sure, here is a sample vision document for the user management system:

Vision Document: User Management System

Introduction

The User Management System is a web application that provides a platform for managing users, roles, and permissions for an online service. The system is designed to be scalable and flexible, allowing for the addition of new users, roles, and permissions as the service grows.

Goals

The primary goals of the User Management System are:

In real life, I need a friend to discuss each response.

There is not much image in here, so again I present you my rubber duck.

Rubber Duck: Plekcing: Bebek Kechil

I will use Flask instead of Django. And maybe I will move to something else, such as CodeIgniter or Laravel. Meanwhile, let the chat answer as is.

Software Specification Requirement

This is considered as SRS version 1.0. We should prepare for any changes later.

How about SRS?

Sure, here is a sample SRS (Software Requirements Specification) for the user management system:

Software Requirements Specification: User Management System

I think we are done with the basic question.

UML

Class Diagram

Can this above be written in UML fashioned?

Yes, the above requirements for user management in a site admin can be represented in UML (Unified Modeling Language) as follows:

+---------------------------------+
| User Management System          |
+---------------------------------+
|                                 |
| +registerUser()                 |
| +loginUser()                    |
| +logoutUser()                   |
| +getUserRoles()                 |
| +getUserPermissions()           |
| +getUserProfile()               |
| +updateUserProfile()            |
| +resetPassword()                |
| +monitorUserActivity()          |
| +manageUserData()               |
|                                 |
+---------------------------------+

In the above UML diagram, the User Management System is the main class that represents the user management system in the site admin. It has various methods that are responsible for user registration, user login, user logout, user role and permission management, user profile management, password management, user activity monitoring, and user data management.

The + sign before each method indicates that these are public methods that can be accessed by other classes in the system. The exact implementation of these methods can vary based on the specific requirements and design of the user management system in the site admin.

Conceptual Diagram

Rewrite Diagram from Text to Image

This is actually a conceptual diagram as it has no parameter specification. Nor care about the implementation.

Let me rewrite the diagram for you so you can use it in your presentation.

User Management: UML: Class Diagram: Main

You can obtain the source SVG image here:

UML in SVG: Class Diagram

So you can alter the image as you want for any revision.

PlantUML

As I said, one day later I found that ChatGPT can generate PlantUML format. So let’s compare my work, with diagram code generated by ChatGPT.

Would you mind writing this down into PlantUML format?

  ...
  ...

Sure! Here’s the PlantUML code for the User Management System class diagram:

@startuml
title User Management System Class Diagram

class UserManagementSystem {
  +registerUser()
  +loginUser()
  +logoutUser()
  +getUserRoles()
  +getUserPermissions()
  +getUserProfile()
  +updateUserProfile()
  +resetPassword()
  +monitorUserActivity()
  +manageUserData()
}

UserManagementSystem --> "*" User

You can copy and paste this code into a PlantUML editor or an online converter tool to generate the class diagram.

The generated diagram from draw.io can be shown as below

By comparation, I guess, my SVG diagram miss a detail.

Great

I just want to say thank you to my pair discussion partner. It is better than talking to a duck.

You know what? You are great bro! Really.

Thank you! I’m happy to help you out. Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.

My duck rubber never said anything to me.

What is Next 🤔?

We have done the basic. But the devils are in details.

Consider continue reading [ User - Use Case Diagram ].

Thank you for reading.
