Assignment submission format

Each student has to submit their assignment as guided in the assignment brief. The students are
guided what sort of information is to produce to meet the criteria targeted. You are required to
make use of headings, paragraphs and subsections as appropriate, and all work must be
supported with research and referenced using the APA referencing system.

Learning outcomes covered

 LO1 Define basic algorithms to carry out an operation and outline the process of
programming an application
 LO2 Explain the characteristics of procedural, object oriented and event driven
programming, conduct an analysis of a suitable Integrated Development Environment
(IDE)
 LO3: Implement basic algorithms in code using an IDE
 LO4: Determine the debugging process and explain the importance of a coding standard

Scenario 1

The necessity of an effective inventory management system is being increasingly realized in

the industrial and nonindustrial organization both in Nepal and abroad. This realization has
come about because of the increasing complexity of the task of managers and administrators.
Due to an increase in purchase and sales, the store owners are finding it difficult to manage a
large number of transactions which are causing discrepancies in data.

The store owner requires an application to keep the records of the products on stock based on
purchase and sales. When Stock owner purchase products from the customer, the stock
should be increased, while selling products to customers stock should be decreased.

The system should have at least three main menus which are Setup, Transaction, and
Reports. Under the main menu following sub-menu should contain.

Setup Transaction Reports

 Category  Purchase  Purchase Report

 Unit  Sales  Sales Report
 Product
 Customer
 Supplier

All students are encouraged to enhance or add other related forms you think required in
your system. One Id column, Primary Key with Identity Property should be assigned in
each table.

The database should include at least the following tables:

Table Name
Columns
Category CategoryId, CategoryName, Remarks, etc.
Unit UnitId, UnitName, Alias, Remarks, etc.
Product ProductId, ProductName, UnitId,Rate,Quantity etc.
CustSupplier CustSupplierId,Name,Type,Email,Phone,Mobile,Address, etc.
TransactionMasterId,TransactionDate,Type,CustSupplierId,
Transaction Master
GrandTotal,Vat,Discount,etc
TransactionDetailId,TransactionMasterId,ProductId,Qty,
Transaction Details
Rate,Total

2|P ag e
 User UserId,UserName,Password,Email,Phone

The system should be implemented following features.

 User details with username and password (password should be stored in
encrypted format).
 Foreign key, Unique key and primary key should be maintained properly in
required tables.
 Each form should be validated properly before crud operation.
 Confirmation message, error message, warning message and success message
should be proper and meaningful.

Part 1

Assignment Task

Based on the context above, complete the followings:

Section A
Present a mini research project both in the form of a report and as a presentation. You will
need to explain what an algorithm is, with examples of their use, comparing their efficiency
against brute forcing, and how it will relate to the application development process, down to
the implementation in a suitable language. Research could be conducted on your choice of
algorithms, including sorting and searching data or encryption/decryption,
compression/decompression.

Note: Prepare a presentation for using Microsoft® PowerPoint® style presentation to be

presented to your colleagues.
Follow the guidelines below to design your presentation.
 Font style Arial or Times New Roman.
 Font size: Main text should be minimum font size 16 -24 (readable from 2 meters
away). Headings 30-42. Sub-headings can be smaller. Avoid writing all in capital
letters and use same font throughout the presentation (Margins, fonts, font size,
and colors should be consistent)
 Use same background on each slide. Label images and graphs. Use bulleted points
and avoid writing long sentences. And provide citations and references.

3|P ag e
Section B
The research and development team you work with have been tasked with further
investigation into how best to build more efficient, secure software. You have been asked to
look into programming paradigms and the advantages and disadvantages of using different
programming language approaches.

 You will need to create a report covering findings from research into the
characteristics of different programming paradigms – procedural, object-orientated
and event-driven programming.
 Your report should include an explanation of each paradigm, an analysis of suitable
IDEs, and an evaluation of source code that would be generated for an application.

Part 2

Assignment Task
The submission is in the form of five documents/files:

1. Stage 1 – Development Document

2. Stage 2 – Report (IDE Evaluation)
3. Stage 3 – Report (Debugging Evaluation)
4. Stage 4 – Report (Evaluation Report) including fully commented source code
5. An installable and executable version of your application

You are required to make use of appropriate structure, including headings, paragraphs,
subsections and illustrations as appropriate, and all work must be supported with research and
referenced using the APA referencing system.

As part of the application process, they senior management team want to see that you can
implement algorithms using an IDE as required.

You are asked to create a fully working, secure application that has been developed using an
IDE and adhere to coding standards.

The document portfolio should include:

1. Evidence of how the IDE was used to manage the development of your code.
2. An evaluation of developing applications using an IDE versus developing an application
without using an IDE.

4|P ag e
 3. An evaluation of the debugging process in the IDE used and how it helped with
development.
4. An evaluation of coding standards and the benefits to organizations of using them.

The working application produced must also be demonstrated.
