Scenario: Prepare for an Event
In preparation for a party, the chef will look at the menu. The chef requires a shopping list from each recipe on the selected menu. The system generates the shopping list of ingredients that he needs to buy. Then he just crosses off anything that he already has.
Because the chef is picky about his cooking utensils, he brings his own and doesn't like to depend on the clients to supply anything. In order to make sure that he doesn't forget anything, he uses the system to generate the list of utensils that he'll have to bring with
him to the party. He then proceeds to generate a to do list for the day of the party based on the time that the dinner is to be ready. He finds this to be useful so that everything's ready at the specified time, and nothing is forgotten.
When creating the use cases related to the "Prepare for an Event" scenario, which of the following BEST represents the type of terminology that the use cases should contain?
A.
Chef, menu, recipes, ingredients
B.
End user, bill of fare, cooking specifications, food contents
