ASSIGNMENT:

Academic Misconduct is an offence under university regulations, and this involves:

• Plagiarism – where you use information from another information source (including your previously submitted work) and pass it off as your own. This can be through direct copying, poor paraphrasing and/or absence of citations.

• Collusion – where you work too closely, intentionally, or unintentionally, with others to produce work that is similar in nature. This can be through loaning of materials, drafts or through unauthorised use of a fellow student’s work. • Asking another person to write your assignment – where you ask another individual or company to complete your work for you, be that paid or unpaid, and submit it as if it were your own.

• Unauthorised use of artificial intelligence – where you use artificial intelligence tools to generate your assignment instead of completing it yourself and/or where you have not been given permission to use artificial intelligence tools by your module leader. Please complete the following declaration around you use of artificial intelligence tools in your assignment.

This assignment contributes 70% to your final module mark and will assess the following learning outcomes:

• Ability to apply software engineering tools and techniques in the testing and debugging of a computer program (Learning Outcome 2).

• Ability to apply appropriate processes and articulate the rationale for design decisions throughout the process of developing and documenting a computer program (Learning Outcome 3).

Important Information

You are required to submit your work within the bounds of the University Infringement of Assessment Regulations (see your Programme Guide). Plagiarism, paraphrasing and downloading large amounts of information from external sources, will not be tolerated and will be dealt with severely. Although you should make full use of any source material, which would normally be an occasional sentence and/or paragraph (referenced) followed by your own critical analysis/evaluation. You will receive no marks for work that is not your own. Your work may be subject to checks for originality which can include use of an electronic plagiarism detection service.

For this assessment you are asked to submit an individual piece of work, therefore the work must be entirely your own. The safety of your assessments is your responsibility. You must not permit another student access to your work.

Referencing for this assessment should be done using the Harvard referencing system. (see your Programme Guide).

Please ensure that you retain a duplicate of your assignment. We are required to send samples of student work to the external examiners for moderation purposes. It will also safeguard in the unlikely event of your work going astray.

CET131 Assessment 2

Scenario

You have recently been employed as a graduate software developer working remotely for a new technology consultancy company. After completing a number of induction-based tasks, your line manager has issued you with your first client-based project.

WeAreCars are a new car rental company based in Sunderland. They are needing a software solution to assist in the rental of their vehicles. This solution needs to be a standalone windows forms based program to ensure future compatibility with legacy systems. The company has strict initial requirements and are on a tight budget due to them being a new company. However, WeAreCars wish to ensure the software is to be of the highest standard and do not want to launch the solution until all requirements are fully implemented and tested.

System Specification requirements (80%)

WeAreCars would like a software application that will assist in the rental of cars. You are you required to implement a software prototype to include the features below using any programming language you prefer. The system should have user interface as console or graphical format to allow users to interact with the system.

System features:

● A welcome splash screen. This is to display a welcome message to the user and brief instructions on how to use the interface.

● A staff login page that allows a staff member to login into the system, using the following fixed username and password

○ Username : sta001

○ Password: givemethekeys123

● An area that displays a list of the rented cars

● A main booking area that will process the booking. This area will allow a staff member to enter and/or select certain options (Mandatory fields are denoted with a *):

○ Customer First Name*

○ Customer Surname*

○ Customer Address*

○ Customer age*

○ Valid driving license*

■ If no, the booking can’t proceed

○ Number of days* (£25 per day)

■ Between 1 and 28

○ Type of car selected*

■ City car (No extra charge)

■ Family car (+ £50)

■ Sports car (+ £75)

■ SUV (+ £65)

○ Fuel type*

■ Petrol (No extra charge)

■ Diesel (No extra charge)

■ Hybrid (+ £30)

■ Full electric (+ £50)

○ Optional extras

■ Unlimited mileage (+ £10 per day)

■ Breakdown cover (+ £2 per day)

○ A summary screen that will confirm the data entered, options selected and a total price, before storing the booking.

● The system should validate input data and display appropriate error messages.

WeAreCars would like this system to be as robust and as user friendly as possible. Attention to detail and the inclusion of validation and help systems / tooltips are recommended.

System Demonstration (20%)

Prepare up to 10 minutes of recorded presentation of all the features and functionalities that you have implemented for this project. Your presentation should:

▪ Have a clear view of the source code.

▪ Show all the features you have implemented according to the system specifications outline in the task above.

▪ You should verbally describe the system features during the demonstration.
