Assignment Brief and Guidance:

Case study

You have been employed as a Database Developer at a large IT consultancy company. The Bread
Box, a local bread shop, has approached your company as they are rapidly expanding.

The Bread Box has, to date, managed its business by using a computerized system that was
developed by a college student five years ago. The system is now too slow and no system documentation
was produced when it was implemented so changes to the system cannot be made easily. The Owner
of The Bread Box feels that, as their business requirements have changed, to grow and manage their
business successfully they need to invest in new technology and a new system.

Your company has accepted the contract to develop a database system for The Bread Box and to
provide the necessary technology to run the system. Your brief is to develop the database system
element of the contract from The Bread Box.

You have been asked by your manager to investigate the system requirements, and design, create
and implement the system. One of the requirements of the contract is that user and technical
documentation be made available to The Bread Box.

 Assignment Brief (RQF)

Before you start the development process, your manager has asked you to produce a report for the
Owner of The Bread Box, containing:
1. The design of the relational database system using appropriate design tools and techniques. It
should contain at least four interrelated tables, with clear statements of user and system
requirements.
 Produce a detailed design document, so you will produce a comprehensive design for a
fully functional system which will include Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD), Data
normalization that covers data validations, and data normalization.
 Moreover, you should prepare a separate report on your assessment of the effectiveness
of design in relation to user and system requirements with real-world examples.
2. Produce technical and user documentation.
 Produce technical and user documentation for a fully functional system, including
diagrams showing the movement of data through the system, and flowcharts describing
how the system works.
 In addition, you would prefer to produce a more detailed document, so you will produce
a comprehensive design for a fully functional system which will include the following:
 Create forms user interface for adding records, deleting records and amend
records for tables you have created a part of the solution.
 All the forms required to include appropriate validation rules which minimise data
entry errors.
 The Bread Box Shop required print invoices for the orders that have been placed.
The invoice should meet the following requirements:
 There should be one invoice per order.
 The Bread Box’s name and address must be displayed the customer contact
and address details must be displayed.
 The order number and the details for the order, including the Item details
and quantity must be displayed.
 The total cost of the order should be calculated and displayed.
 Finally, you should create extra report that include future improvements that may be
required to ensure the continued effectiveness of the database system. In your report
you must give the suggestion from technical point of view and how to improve current
database system.
