Introduction

The assignment allows the candidate to demonstrate the ability to use various modeling methods and techniques when developing computer programs. This assignment is based on the analysis and design of a computerized membership system for a local soccer club.

The Scenario
The membership details of all members of the soccer club are currently monitored using a manual list. At club meeting list is checked by the club secretary and no person may enter the meeting who is not on the list. Members must pay an annual subscription which is at adult level or junior (under 18 years of age on 1 September) level. Details of all members are registered with the local soccer league to enable them to play in matches. The information currently stored in the list includes the following: Member name Member number Address Contact telephone number Membership level (adult or junior) Date of payment The membership list is also made available to the treasurer who monitors the membership and subscriptions. The club runs three teams, 1st team, 2nd team and junior team and the captains of each team also have access to the membership list so that they can select players for matches against other player. This information is recorded after each match played. The club officials have requested that the membership system be computerized. The aim is to speed up the production of regular monitoring reports on players and meet the soccer league requirements regarding player records and data protection.

Task 1 20 Marks
The club secretary would like the following report on regular basis: 7

Report: 1. A list of all the paid-up member names and contact numbers by membership level, with totals for each level. Report: 2. A list of players for each of the three teams for the current season with details of number of matches played for each team (a player may play for more than one team), goals scored, bookings (yellow cards), sending off (red cards) with the players listed in alphabetical order. Using JSP techniques and methodology analyze the requirements for both reports. Produce a set of diagrams for each report showing the step-wise progression. Diagrams should include logical data structure diagrams (DSDs), preliminary program structures (PSDs) as well as the detailed program specification for each report.

Task 6 12 Marks
In not more than 500 words, write a review of your work. Describe any assumption you have made and any changes you could introduce to improve your work. For the different methods and technique you have used in Task 1 5, discuss which would be most suitable for an object-oriented programming language.

Solution Task 6 TASK 1

I have made good use of Jackson Structure Programming (JSP) techniques and methodology to analyze the requirements for all the reports and have produced a set of diagrams for each report showing the stepwise progression. Diagram includes logical DSD, program structure and program specification. TASK 2 In this task I was ask to draw a Flowchart for each of the two reports in task 1. Report 1: Flowchart has to do with list of paid-up members which include the members name, contact number, membership level and total number for each level. Report 2: Was dealing with the list of players for each of the three teams for the current season, number of match played, goals scored, booking (yellow cards), Sending off (red cards) and the list of players listed in alphabetical order. TASK 3 This task is divided into three parts. The first part was to write a procedure that will check for paid-up members. And this is included in the program that the club secretary has to use when checking in valid members. The second part was to write pseudo codes for two reports described in task 1. Which was to show paid up member with their details such as: Member names, Contact number, membership level with total number for each level. Furthermore, the third one is dealing with writing a pseudo code for a report main menu that will be accessed by the use of Do case statement.

39

TASK 4 In this task I have been asked to test the pseudo code written in task 3, which include report 1 and report 2. I have approach this as per requirement by producing test plan, desk checking and dry run. TASK 5 I have used the UML Diagram for the table tennis club, whereby I developed the following diagrams: Developing the high level class diagram Developing a set of use case diagrams Developing sequence diagram Developing a set of collaboration diagram

I used the above mention diagram to draw the following scenarios: Checking members details by Secretary, Adding a new member to the database, Deleting a member and finally printing a report. Areas of Improvement: Computerized system can be used by the club officials, club secretary and club treasurer in order to speed up file processing. It helps the club Secretary to enter data pertaining to the number of paid-up members and the total number of players in the club. It provides Treasurer to enter data pertaining the transaction that takes place in a day. It provides error free and non-repetitive data that can be adding new members to the database in the computerized system.

Conclusions In this report I have written the review of each task. I have also written the improvement the new computerized system which would bring to the replacement of the old fashion and the benefits it would bring to the club and system as well.
