Coursework Specification:

 

An education centre is moving from paper-based book-keeping to a desktop information system. The desktop information system is expected to process information about the following groups of users:

The system is expected to process the following data about each user from all groups:

The system is expected to process the following group specific data:

Teaching Staff:

Administration:

Students:

The system is expected to provide the following functionality:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Task 1

 

Based on the provided outline, provide a description of the Desktop Information System, which the education centre is planning to use. This description expresses the user’s point of view about the functionality of the system, the data it is expected to process and the required platforms, including operating system (Microsoft Windows) and hardware. Maximum word count for the system description is 300 words.

 

Based on the provided description, write a software requirements specification of maximum 500 words for the Desktop Information System. The software requirements specification is expected to have the following content:

– Purpose

– Project scope

– Product

– Users

– Operational Environment

– Description

– Functional Requirements

– Performance

– Security

– Safety

 

Maximum word count for the software requirements specification is 400 words.

 

For more information about writing software requirements specification, refer to:

            Wiegers, Beatty, “Software Requirements”, Third Edition, Microsoft:

                        Chapter 10 Documenting the Requirements, page 181

                        Chapter 11 Writing Excellent Requirements, page 203

 

 

 

Task 2

 

Provide the following UML diagrams, which represent the design of the Desktop Information System:

– Class Diagram

– Use Case Diagram

 

For more information about UML, refer to Patrick Grassle “UML 2.0 in Action”.

 

 

 

 

 

Task 3

 

Develop the Desktop Information System, as a C# Console Application with data stored in appropriate data structures.

 

Implement a base class named “Person”. By utilising the principles of encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism, implement the classes “Teacher”, “Admin” and “Student” as derived classes from the base class “Person”. The derived classes are expected to handle the data and the functionality for the respective groups of users.

 

Store the objects into appropriate data structures. The data structures are expected to be able to store unknown number of objects.

 

The Desktop Information System is expected to provide a text-based menu, which provides access to each of the aforementioned functionalities of adding, viewing, viewing by role, editing and deleting records.

 

Add comments describing the functionality of the project. The comments are expected to be approximately 30% of the source code.

 

Organised the project into a single C# source code file (*.cs), which needs to be submitted on Moodle.

 

 

 

 

Grading criteria

 

70-100% All requirements completed to an excellent standard.

 

60-69% All requirements completed. However, there are a number of minor deficiencies in significant areas.

 

50-59% All requirements completed. However, significant improvements could be made in many areas.

 

40-49% All requirements completed. However, significant improvements could be made in all areas.

 

30-39% All requirements attempted but the overall level of understanding and performance is poor.

 

0-29% There are requirements missing or completed to a very inadequate standard, which indicates a very poor or non-existent level of understanding.
