Assignment 1 – Federation Car Rental (FedCR)
Overview
You are required to design and develop a small Java console application. Completion of this assignment requires
an understanding of:
Analysis and design techniques, including development of use cases and UML diagrams – specifically,
use case diagrams, class diagrams and sequence diagrams
Object-oriented programming, focusing on polymorphism and the use of interfaces
Timelines and Expectations
Percentage Value of Task: 20%
Due: Sunday, September 13, 2020 @ 23:55 (Week 7)
Minimum time expectation: 20 hours
Learning Outcomes Assessed
The following course learning outcomes are assessed by completing this assessment:
Understand the significance of detailed project planning and control, good communication and
documentation and the use of appropriate tools in order to provide a quality product
Understand the distinction between software engineering and programming, and thus the distinction
etween a software configuration and a program
Understand the methods and techniques involved in designing, implementing and maintaining an
information system, in particular using an object-oriented approach
Demonstrate skills in designing and implementing an information system
Assessment Details
FedCR is a car hire company that offers vehicle rentals to its clients. Clients are able to hire vehicles according to
availability and preference. FedCR offers 10% loyalty discount on the rental fees to members of its loyalty club.
No discount is offered to standard clients who are not members of the loyalty club. A special discount of 20%, is
offered to clients who are also employees of the company.
You have been hired to design and develop a Java application for FedCR employees to manage the car rental
system. The application should have an interactive menu, allowing the user to select the type of client (standard,
loyalty member or staff member) making the booking and determine and track the appropriate discounts.

The menu should also provide different other options, such as, displaying clients list, generating a report to display
the cu
ent payments received, and quitting the execution. In the report the payments should be
oken down
into different categories of bookings such as standard, loyalty and staff, and the total discounts given in each
category (using the discounted values where appropriate). At this stage there is no need for data to persist once
the program finishes execution.
FedCR wants the system to be flexible so that users can include additional functionality at a later date without
having to rewrite the entire program. This means you will need to use an interface for processing payments, and
polymorphism for the various payment classes, so that new, different payment types may be added at a later
date with minimal updates to the code.
FedCR asked that you provide it with some documentation before you commence coding, so that the manager is
able to verify that the program you intend to code will address the business requirements. The manager would
like to see use cases that summarizes the requirements in written format, as well as use case diagrams, class
diagrams and sequence diagrams.
Start-up code (A1_BaseCode.zip) is provided for your convenience. You are free to use, update and build your
program on this. A sample expected output of an execution of a complete program is also attached. Notice in the
sample output clients 1, 2, and 3 are hard coded in the program; clients 4, 5, and 6 are entered at execution.
Similarly, your program should include hard coded clients, at least one client in each category.
Submission
You are required to submit the assignment before the due date consisting of:
A Zip file containing the following (submitted via Moodle under the Assignment 1 link)
The zip file should be labelled using the format:
_ _Student_ID.zip
For example : Nicola_Tesla_ XXXXXXXXXXzip
o A written report comprising:
Use Cases summarizing the requirements
Copy of UML Diagrams, created in Enterprise Architect, comprising:
a Use Case Diagram for processing a car rental booking
a Class Diagram of the intended system
a Sequence Diagram showing how a new car rental booking is processed
o With descriptions of each diagram. The description should include:
an clear explanation of the diagram in your own words
any issues and challenges faced in developing the diagram
how you overcame these challenges
anything related to the diagram that you feel is important
A short reflection (approximately XXXXXXXXXXwords) of what you have learned, if anything, on
this assignment, particularly relating to requirements design and analysis, UML diagrams and
object- oriented programming with interfaces and polymorphism. As an example, if you
found that you would change your initial UML diagrams after you had commenced coding,
you should explain what these changes would be and explain what you learnt that led to
these changes.
o Enterprise Architect file(s) containing your UML Diagrams for the Use Case, Class Diagrams and
Sequence Diagrams
o Your complete Java program, addressing the requirements outlined in the Assignment Details.
