Assignment 1 – State Transition Diagram
Overview
This assignment requires you to develop a state chart diagram for an Oral B Braun 5000 electric
tooth
ush. Starting from the user manual you should first analyze the functionality of the tooth
ush
and its interaction with the SmartGuide and then, using suitable software, produce a state transition
diagram which covers both. Your state chart diagram will be demonstrated subjected to tests you have
developed.
Timelines and Expectations
Percentage Value of Task: 20%
Due: Friday the 26 April @ 16:00 (week 6)
Minimum time expectation: at least 10 hours
