1. Introduction
Overview of purpose and target users.
2. Objectives
- Provide a simple CRUD desktop app in Java.
- Demonstrate file I/O and GUI design.
- Ensure basic validation and persistence.
3. Scope
In scope: CRUD for core entities, CSV persistence. Out of scope: authentication, multi-user
concurrency.
4. Requirements
Functional: manage venues, events, participants, bookings, save/load.
Non-functional: usability, portability, maintainability.
5. Design
Layered architecture: UI (Swing) -> Model (POJOs) -> Storage (CSV DataStore).
6. Implementation
Packages: [Link], [Link], [Link]. Key classes: Event, Venue, Participant, Booking,
DataStore, MainFrame.
7. Testing
Test cases: add entities, booking within capacity, overbooking prevention, save/load
persistence.
8. Deployment
Build steps:
javac -d out $(find src -name "*.java")
mkdir -p data
java -cp out [Link]
9. Risks
- CSV concurrency and corruption. Mitigation: backups, consider DB for multi-user.
10. Future Work
- Add search/filter, DB backend, user roles, reports and charts.
