ASSIGNMENT SCENARIO AND GUIDANCE

SCENARIO

YOU HAVE RECENTLY BEEN HIRED BY A RIDE-SHARING START-UP, ' UHAIL', AS A JUNIOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPER. THE COMPANY IS RAPIDLY EXPANDING
AND NEEDS TO PRODUCE A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION AND ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTATION FOR ALL NEW HIRES REGARDING UNDERSTANDING THE
SOFTWARE-RELATED ISSUES A NEW COMPANY FACES. TO DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES, YOU MUST ANALYSE THE COMPANY AND ENSURE YOU KNOW THE
MAIN PROBLEMS.

PART A- (LO1 & LO2) – GUIDANCE

TASK 1: POWER POINT PRESENTATION
CREATE A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION (ALONG WITH SPEAKER'S NOTES) WHICH DISCUSSES IN DETAIL THE FOLLOWING KEY POINTS:
 THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE OBJECT-ORIENTED PARADIGM (OOP). THIS SECTION SHOULD OUTLINE THE MAIN OOP CHARACTERISTICS SUCH
AS ENCAPSULATION, POLYMORPHISM, AND CONSTRUCTORS/DECONSTRUCTIONS.
 THE PRESENTATION SHOULD ALSO DISCUSS CLASS RELATIONSHIPS AND WAYS THESE CAN BE USED AT UHAIL.
 THE PRESENTATION SHOULD ALSO ANALYSE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE OOP AND DESIGN PATTERNS.
 DISCUSS IN DETAIL: GENERALISATION/INHERITANCE, REALISATION, DEPENDENCY, AGGREGATION, COMPOSITION
 THE PRESENTATION SHOULD ALSO DETERMINE A DESIGN PATTERN FOR CREATIONAL, STRUCTURAL AND BEHAVIOURAL PATTERN TYPES.
TASK 2: DESIGN DOCUMENT
THE CURRENT REQUIREMENTS OF UHAIL NEED TO BE UNDERSTOOD CLEARLY. AS A JUNIOR DEVELOPER, YOU MUST EXAMINE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF IN-
HOUSE SOFTWARE LIBRARIES, WHICH OFTEN DO NOT EXIST AND MAY BE NEEDED IN THE FUTURE. BASED ON YOUR ASSUMPTIONS OF THE NEEDS OF
UHAIL, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO CREATE A SERIES OF UML DIAGRAMS THAT CAN REFLECT HOW THE EXISTING CODE IS N OPERATION AND SUGGEST WAYS
IN WHICH NEW DIAGRAMS CAN BE DEVELOPED FOR FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS AT UHAIL.
YOU ARE REQUIRED TO USE A SUITABLE UML TOOL TO DEVELOP AND ANALYSE CLASS DIAGRAMS BASED ON YOUR ASSUMPTIONS OF THE SCENARIO. ALL
ASSUMPTIONS MUST BE CLEARLY STATED. CLEAR CLASS DIAGRAMS FOR THE DESIGN PATTERNS MUST BE PRESENTED WITH THE HELP OF A UML TOOL.

PART B – (LO3 & LO4) – GUIDANCE

TASK 3: REPORT
THE FIRST PART OF YOUR REPORT WILL HELP IMPLEMENT CODE WHEN APPLYING DESIGN PATTERNS.
YOU ARE REQUIRED TO BUILD AN APPLICATION BASED ON THE UML CLASS DIAGRAMS ALREADY DEVELOPED IN THE PREVIOUS TASK. YOU WILL ALSO BE
DEVELOPING CODE WHICH CAN HELP IMPLEMENT DESIGN PATTERNS FOR THE SPECIFIC CASE OF UHAIL (BASED ON YOUR ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THE
SERVICE). YOU WILL USE AN APPROPRIATE LANGUAGE AND IDE TO DEVELOP CODE WITHIN A REPORT, WHICH CAN HELP IMPLEMENT THE DESIGN
PATTERNS APPLICABLE FOR THE UHAIL SCENARIO. FINALLY, YOU WILL ALSO EVALUATE THE USE OF DESIGN PATTERNS IN THE CASE OF UHAIL. YOUR
EVALUATION SHOULD BE DETAILED, AND COMPARE A NUMBER OF SCENARIOS FOR UHAIL
FURTHERMORE, YOU WILL ALSO DISCUSS A RANGE OF DESIGN PATTERNS, GIVING RELEVANT EXAMPLES OF CREATIONAL, STRUCTURAL AND BEHAVIOURAL
PATTERN TYPES. YOU WILL ALSO CONSIDER THE MOST APPROPRIATE DESIGN PATTERNS FOR THE UHAIL SCENARIO. MOREOVER, YOU WILL DEMONSTRATE
YOUR APPLICATION FOR UHAIL AND PRESENT A DETAILED EVALUATION OF THE CODE DEVELOPED FOR UHAIL. FINALLY, YOU WILL CRITICALLY EVALUATE
THE DIFFERENT DESIGN PATTERNS USED AT UHAIL IN SEVERAL SCENARIOS. ALSO, PROVIDE JUSTIFICATIONS FOR THE CHOICES MADE.
