How you need to write your business application

You are required to write a new business application/solution in accordance to the business requirements outlined in "2. The program specifications for your business application". This business application will be written to use GUI for all its interaction with the user. As a third year student you have the programming skills to follow the instructions as they are given in this software development specification. Please keep in mind that this is a simulation of a real life scenario. We cannot in the course of 12 weeks achieve a full real life business application, so we have to work with a cut down version that still enables you to apply what you have learned in this course. This means that you need to provide only the functionality requested.

Assume that you are working for an organisation where an analyst has done the analysis and written the specification. You are to draw your own conclusions from this specification, as the analyst is no longer working for the organisation. However, the organisation requests that you must follow the instructions as they are, and provide the functionality as specified. You are not allowed to add any features or functionalities that are not described here.

However, this specification is not a complete list of all the things that you need to do to provide what has been asked for. You need to re-read these specifications a number of times to determine if there is anything implied that you need to cater for. You will need to think about how you are going to achieve the requirements. The assumptions that you will need to make are part of this assessment. This means that you need to think about what the business application is required to do and how you are going to achieve this by implementing what you have learned in this course. You will also need to put yourself into the position of the person that will be using your business application - keeping the business processes in mind.

When you work on this assignment, you need to take into consideration the feedback you received for the previous assignments. As for all your assessments, the study book provides you with crucial guidelines on how to program in this course, and how to use the information from the text book. You also need to consider the guidelines from the lecture slides, and apply the programming style and implementation of object oriented programming. Examples have been provided to you in the additional weekly exercises.
