PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION CAREFULLY. This assignment contributes 100% to your final course mark.
-
This is a GROUP assignment (maximum of TWO (2) members per group).
-
You are required to compile all your work into one folder (ZIP file) and upload the softcopy
on blackboard.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
You are required to submit your work within the bounds of the University Infringement of Assessment Regulations. Plagiarism, paraphrasing and downloading large amounts of informationfromexternalsourceswillnotbetoleratedandwillbedealtwithseverely. However, you should make full use of any source material, which would normally be an occasional sentence and/or paragraph (duly referenced) followed by your own critical analysis/evaluation.
The work must be entirely your own. You will receive ZERO (0) mark for work that is not your own. The safety of your assessments is your responsibility. You must not permit another student access to your work. Where referencing is required, APA referencing system must be used.
1. Assignment Aims:
The aim of the assignment is to expose students to analyse a variety of problem solutions in terms of the design concepts and programming constructs. This assignment will allow the students to produce appropriate system development documentation with complete program using C#.NET Framework programming language and SQL Server. The students should be able to apply their knowledge and skills, creativity, and critical thinking in completing the assignment.
2. Assignment Instructions:
This is a group assignment which carries 100% coursework. Submit your final documentation on
Blackboard (BB) before/by the DUE DATE.

3. Case Study
Design and implement a Gym Management System. The system includes two modules: MANAGER and RECEPTIONIST.
The Manager is responsible for maintaining the overall database containing data regarding the gym. The Manager can add, delete, update, and search details of receptionists, trainers, members, training session, products, and appointments. The Manager can also generate reports on receptionists, trainers, members, training session, products, and appointments at any given time.
To register a receptionist, the following information is required: Receptionist ID, password, name, phone number, email address, home address, and employment status (part-time or full-time). The receptionist can log in and view or update their personal details. Receptionists can also add, delete, update, and search details of trainers, members, training session, products, and appointments.
Trainer details include Trainer ID, name, phone number, email address, home address, and employment status (part-time or full-time). Trainers are assigned to conduct personal training sessions.
Member details include Member ID, name, phone number, email address, and home address, etc.
Training session details include Training ID, name, price, category, etc.
Product details include Product ID, product name, product category, number of units ordered from the supplier, number of units currently in stock, number of units sold, and the selling price. Products may include protein shakes, protein bars, supplements, etc.
When an appointment is made for a personal training session, the system must verify the trainer's availability. If the trainer is unavailable, the system should display an error message and prompt the receptionist to either reschedule the appointment for a different date and/or time or assign the appointment to another available trainer.
The system should be menu-driven, offering users various functions based on their roles. These functions may include checking and updating trainer and member details, booking appointments for personal training sessions, ordering and selling products, verifying product availability, and

generating reports. When a product is sold, the system and database should be updated to reflect the change in product inventory.
You are required to model your design based on the scenario above. The quality of your system will be evaluated based on the detail and completeness of your design.
Program requirements:
-
The system should have the following:
➢ Insert and modify data as necessary to demonstrate the functionality of the system.
➢ Save data to the database.
➢ Capable of handling invalid input and null values from users by displaying error messagesand prompting users to re-enter the correct input.
-
You must follow the naming convention for your forms, controls, and attribute names.
-
The program should be compiled and executed using Visual Studio and SQL Server.
4. Tasks
-
Your DESIGN should include:
-
✓ Functional and Non-Functional Requirements – with descriptions
-
✓ Use Case Diagram
-
✓ Database Design (Table Description & ERD) – your database’s tables should have
primary keys and foreign keys wherever required.
-
✓ Wireframe / Prototype – your system’s initial interface.
-
-
NOTE: You should describe the design process with reasonable justification(s) to support your design approach. You will get very low marks if you simply dump the entire system design (tables & diagrams) with no justifications provided.
PART B – STAGE 2 DEVELOPMENT [60%]
-
The deliverables of this stage would be IMPLEMENTATION and TESTING of your system. You are required to implement ALL functionalities proposed in Stage 1, as well as input validations.
-
You are also required to submit a REPORT detailing the system’s development. The report should contain:
-
✓ User Manual to guide the user on how to use your system.
-
✓ Reasonable justifications for the changes made to the design – if there are any
changes made to the initial design of your system (which was proposed in Stage 1).
-

PART A – STAGE 1 DESIGN [20%]
✓ Test Plan to test your system. Your test plan should include a set of possible inputs along with the expected outputs and the results produced by the tests in the test plan.
✓ Source Code
• NOTE: All files must contain the following information: your name, student id, course, and
date within comments (in the header) in the source code and the report document.
The DEMONSTRATION session enables the lecturer to access the originality of your work and test on your understanding of the assignment.

meets all the requirements
specifications.
-
No errors, program always works
correctly and produces desired
output
-
Executes perfectly without errors
-
System interface is visually
appealing. Components are laid out sensibly on the screen.
• Minor details of the program specification are violated, program functions incorrectly for some inputs.
• Executes with one or two minor errors.
• System interface is pleasant looking, clean, well-organized.
• Significant details of the specification are violated, program often exhibits incorrect behaviour.
• Overly cluttered interface. The workings of the features are unclear.
