Introduction to Software Engineering (AAPP003-4-2)

Date Assigned : 11.12.2017


Due Date : 02.03.2018

Smart Kid is a private kindergarten located at Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur. The


kindergarten features a swimming pool, large sand pit, water wall, art & dance studio,
outdoor play area, a vegetable garden, bug hotel and a mini pet corner. The
classrooms and indoor play area are fully equipped for the wholesome development of
children in their care. Their aim is to provide all-round development for every child.
They have a development program which focus on cognitive abilities, language and
communication, leadership skills, imagination and creativity, social and emotional
development and motor skills.

Currently all the data are stored using a spreadsheet. The administrative staffs are
responsible to handle data related to the students, teachers and schedules. During the
registration day, parents were provided with a registration form and this form will be
passed to the administration to be process. The staff will register the students based on
their age. There are two categories which are; pre-kindergarten student (age from 3 –
4 years old) and pre-school student (age from 5 – 6 years old). Each group of student
will be given an intake number (eg: PK/2017 and PS/2017) and each of them will
have their own students’ id (eg: PK201701). Based on the organization policy, for
each intake they are allowed to have maximum 50 students, in order to maintain the
quality of learning experience of each student. By the end of the registration process
each student will be assigned to their own class.

The schedules are created by the administrative staff. Each class will be handled by
two teachers. The class will be divided into two sessions which are learning session
and play-time session. Each session will be handled by one teacher. The learning
session takes place in the classroom, where the students will be participated in
learning activities. The play-time session takes place in the kindergarten compound,
where the students involve with outdoor activities. Each session will have an hour or
two hours break for a meal. The students will be provided with two meals per-day,
such as breakfast and lunch. The operational hours are from 8.00am to 5.00pm. From
9.00am – 10.00am; students will participate in exercise session, 10.30am – 12.30am;
they will be in the learning session and from 2.00pm – 4.30pm; they will be in the
play-time session.

For the teachers, they are responsible to handle data related to class attendance and
monitor the students’ performance and behaviour. By the end of each cycle, the
teachers are required to produce a report card for each of the student. Twice a year,
there will be a meeting between the teachers and the parents. The purpose of the
meeting is to inform the parents on their children performance and any arise issues.

As mentioned, all the data are manage manually. The organization has found few
related issues. For example, as number of data increase; it is hard to organize and
keep track of the data. Too much files to be maintained. There is a high risk of data

redundancy which leads to data duplication and poor security. This is because all the
files are stored separately.

You and your team are expected to develop a prototype to overcome the above issues
for Smart Kid. The following are the minimum requirements for respective end-users
(but not limited to)

Administrative Staff(s):
1. Login
2. Manage students’ information.
3. Manage schedules.

Academic Staff(s):
1. Login.
2. Manage students’ attendance.
3. Mange students’ academic profile.
4. View assigned schedule and students’.
5. Produce students’ performance report according to students’ intake. The report
should be based on individuals’ and intakes’ performance.

Your team can suggest improvement besides the above requirements to enhance the
system functionality.

Learning Outcome

1. Explain the basic principles of Software Engineering including Requirement


Analysis, System Design, Testing and Implementation.
2. Outline the objectives related to Software design and its principles/guidelines.
3. Identify various techniques involved in verification and validation in-lined with
Software Systems.

Outline of Task
Your team (3-4 members) are required to build a software system prototype and
research on the following:
1) To identify the requirements for the above case study.
2) To identify the design principles and concept and produce the design based on the
mentioned concepts.
3) To identify the testing strategies and techniques for the software and how it can be
carried out.
4) To identify the implementation strategies for the software.

Suggested Presentation Format


The following is a suggested minimum report format. It is recommended that your report
contain at least the following:

Cover Page
Your cover page should contain the following items:
 APU Logo
 Subject Code & Title
 System Name
 Intake Code
 Your name and ID

Table of Contents
The table of contents should have the topic title and reference page number attached
to each topic.

Part A – Group Component 70%


1) Introduction
This should include the scope and objectives for the proposed system.

2) Planning & Requirements Analysis


Schedule the project tasks in a Gantt chart. Record the system’s requirements and
user’s requirements.

3) Logical Design
Provide the outcome of the design using UML Use Case Diagram, Activity
diagram and Class Diagram.

4) Physical Design
Create a prototype for the proposed system, showing all of the main solutions that
you have suggested. (NOTE: You are not required to produce a fully functional
program, such as inclusion of a database). Decide on the best programming
environment but HTML, PHP, Java and ASP.NET are some recommendation.

5) Testing
Provide a system test plan and a user test plan. Explain how testing will be
conducted taking into consideration the strategies and techniques suitable for the
proposed system.

6) Implementation
A discussion of how the system will be implemented, such as hardware/software
requirement.

7) Conclusion
To conclude the project, stating its limitation, challenges and further
enhancement.

Part B – Individual Component 30%


8) Methodology
Suggest a suitable System Development Model for the above system. Justify your
selection and explain how this methodology will be used by relating each phases
to the system. Each member in the group should suggest a different methodology.

9) Presentation
Each team member / individual should present his / her contribution of the
solution for the Assignment. Marks awarded here would depend on Project
Knowledge / Professionalism and Contribution of the individual.
