Question 1: Opening a native MS Word file (i.e., with a .doc extension) and saving it to
an HTML file involves a sequence of steps in the MS Word software. For example, a user
has to first open the file (by performing actions such as click on the File pull-down menu,
click on the Open menu item, browse the folder hierarchy to locate the file, select the
file, click on the Open button) and then save it as an html file (by performing actions
such as click on the File pull-down menu, click on the Save as Web Page menu item,
choose a location to save). One way to unambiguously describe this sequence to a
stakeholder (e.g., customer) is by creating a “sequence diagram.”
Draw a sequence diagram to describe the above sequence of actions. Put as much detail
as possible in this diagram. Document all reasonable assumptions. DO NOT assume the
existence of a short-cut action “doc-to-html.”
