Question

Overview This assignment requires you to analyse a problem and to design a solution (without any programming), which the user interacts with, via a GUI. The tasks required of your program will require you to demonstrate your understanding of the concepts covered in Weeks 1-3 of the course setting the foundations and a brief introduction to the course. Timelines and Expectations Percentage Value of Task: 20% Due: Friday, September 1, 2017 – 23:59 (Week 7) Minimum time expectation: 10 hours Learning Outcomes Assessed S1. Critically analyse and use complex decision making to research and determine the appropriate Software Engineering tools and methodologies to utilize in a given situation. S2. Apply professional communication skills to support and manage the engineering of a large software system. S3. Review, critically analyse and develop artefacts to define processes for quality assurance, risk management and communication in large software development projects. S4. Implement quality assurance activities in order to verify user requirements and validate design decisions. A1. Analysis of a large system development problem to decide upon the best methodological approach. Assessment Details The application of quadratic equations is boundless; examples that spring to mind are parabolic paths of projectile motion, velocity in a gravitational field, optimization of profit/loss, and the golden ratio being just a few. In this task you are required to design a user interface for the solution of quadratic equations. The quadratic solutions should be clearly shown as well as proof that they do solve the quadratic equation. Feedback should be given to the user if invalid data is entered. CRICOS Provider No. 00103D ITECH7410 Assig 1 Sem XXXXXXXXXXPage 2 of 5 . Analysis The following analyses should be completed at the commencement of this project: ? User Analysis – who will be using the system? ? Display Content Analysis – what needs to be displayed? ? Work Environment Analysis – what is the platform/environment/architecture? ? Interface Design Steps – what are the interface objects and actions? refer to Pressman’s chapters on Interface Design as well as Hix and Hartson. After these analyses have been completed, you should decide on the software tools which you will use. Justify these in your report. For example, for the graphics you might choose from: Microsoft Word (using the SmartArt, Shapes, Pictures features), Microsoft Paint, Microsoft Powerpoint, GIMP (www.gimp.org), Adobe Acrobat, Enterprise Architect (EA), Inkscape (www.inkscape.org), Photoshop, Paint.net or possibly from Web Tools such as Dreamweaver. Justify your choices in your report. You will need to model the application; you may choose any model discussed in lectures such as DFD, FSM, SASD, ERD, CSPEC and justify your choice of model or combination of models. Demonstrate the usefulness of your modelling. You will need to provide a State Chart Diagram (State Transition Diagram) of your application as well. As there is no programming required in this assignment, you are encouraged - but not obliged - to use Wolfram|Alpha (https://www.wolframalpha.com/) to solve your quadratic equations. Wolfram|Alpha is a free-form input computational knowledge engine using natural language. For example you could type “2 + 3” or “what is 2 + 3?” or “what is the sum of 2 + 3”. Your GUI should appear to be solving the equations and you may use any relevant output generated from Wolfram|Alpha in your GUI.

1. User Analysis: 
The real-time use of Quadratic equation is usually done by students, faculty or any other 
education practitioners.  It may also be used by people who deal with a lot of measurements 
as a part of their profession. The major users of the quadratic equation solver will be in the 
following occupations: 
 Management occupations: IT, Engineering sciences, Farmers, Industrial production, 
property and real estate association managers, Purchasing managers/ agents. 
 Insurance writers 
 Engineers: Software, aerospace, mechanical, civil, electrical, environmental 
engineers.  
 Educational practitioners/ training: Professors, students, tutors etc. 
 Scientists/ Life sciences/ Health care: Physical scientists, social scientists, 
astronomers, life sciences, health diagnosis and technologists etc. 
 Administrative: Clerical and administration related jobs involving human resources. 
 Production/ Manufacturing: Computer controlled programmers and operators 
The system must be calibrated in order to suit easily for all the above users. The design 
should also compact and standard for all the users and not biased towards a particular set of 
users. 
2. Display content analysis: 
Since the system has been designed for various types of users, the target audience is of 
different types/ variety. Hence, the content needs to be simple, so that it is easily 
understandable by all the target audience. The following content made available on the page:
