Design Methods - CT015-3-2 Page 1 of 4

Objective:

This assignment has been designed for students to apply fundamental design concepts by designing,
implementing and documenting the solution for the problem.

Type:

This is an individual Assignment.

Requirements:

Select one of the following system categories and design a solution using UML modelling
techniques. You are required to provide the analysis and design models with descriptions for the
system.

System category:
1. Hotel Booking System
2. Apartment Maintenance System
3. Flight Booking System
4. Fitness Management System

Documentation:
1. Introduction
2. Features
3. Assumptions
4. Software development model
5. Analysis model
5.1. Use case diagram
5.2. Use case specifications
5.3. Activity diagram (in swimlane)
5.4. Class diagram (draft)
6. Design model
6.1. Class diagram
6.2. Sequence diagram
6.3. State machine diagram
6.4. Component diagram
7. Conclusion
8. References
9. Codes

In addition, you are also required to include a critical evaluation section in your documentation
of your design.

Deliverables:

The solution design with all related UML diagrams must be submitted in the form of CD/ROM.
Documents must be delivered in printed and softcopy forms.
Submission Deadline: Week 16 (Tuesday), by 6PM.
Document Report Structure: Cover Page, Content (Adoption of Software Development Model,
Analysis Model, Design Model and Sample Codes), Conclusion and References.

Marking Criteria:

This individual practical assignment contributes 50% of the total mark for the module incourse. The
marks allocation used to evaluate the assignment are as follows:

Item Marks
Software Development Model with Justification 10%
Analysis Model
The structure of the system or application that you are
modelling.
It consists of UML diagrams that describe the logical 40%
implementation of the functional requirements that you
identified in the use case model.

Design Model
Builds on the analysis model by describing, in greater detail,
the structure of the system and how the system will be 40%
implemented.

Presentation
Ability to answer questions addressed by the lecturer
10%
pertaining to the work done and presented.

Total: 100%

The marking criteria will be based on the logicality, appropriateness, and relevance of the
requirements analysis, design and implementation possibilities.

Performance Criteria:

A+ :80% Work of distinguished quality, demonstrating authoritative grasp of

software modelling techniques, and the candidate has the ability to
effectively design solution model for the problem context and document
the solution with UML visualisation mechanism.

A :75% - 79% Demonstration of very high understanding of software modelling skills

and candidate was able to achieve good design methods for the solution
and document it in a good presentation manner using UML.

B+ :70% - 74% The designed solution model demonstrates good understanding of

software modelling techniques and candidate was able to develop good
design methods that are relevant to each specific modularised problem
and document it in a good presentation manner using UML.

B :65% - 69% Demonstration of above average understanding of software modelling

and design methods. Candidate was able to show that she/he had the
ability to develop good solution that is relevant to the problem context.
However, the documentation may be lacking in an in-depth discussion of
the designed solution model.

C+ :60% - 64% Demonstration of above average understanding of software modelling

and design methods. Candidate was able to show that she/he had the
ability to develop acceptable level of solution that is relevant to the
problem context. However, the documentation may be lacking in an
indepth discussion of the designed solution model.

C :55% - 59% The designed solution demonstrated an understanding of software

modelling and design methods. There is structure in the documentation
and there are no serious omissions or irrelevancies. Detail level of
requirement was limited. System design documentation is basic but does
not document any indepth details of the solution design.

C- :50% - 54% Basic design for the solution. Model has essential diagrams only but may
be flawed by omissions and/or irrelevancies. System design
documentation is basic and may contain minor omissions/mistakes.

D :40% - 49% Weak program design. Model has only a few essential diagrams only.
System design documentation is available but has very little resemblance
to actual implementation.

F :0% – 39% Weak program design. Model has only a few essential diagrams only.
System design documentation is available but has very little resemblance
to actual implementation.
