Unit Learning Outcomes:

LO1 Understand basic programming skills and OOP paradigm
LO2 Understand how to detect errors and handle errors
LO3 Understand how to working with files in applications
LO4 Understand how to build GUI application
Assignment Brief:
You have to develop an application to solve a small business problem. The problem requires a
graphical user interface with features that required reading / writing data from text file, working with
a collection of data (searching for item / min / max / sum / etc.). The application must handle errors so
that it will not crash at end user side. The application also need to be fully tested before the production
phase.
You need to write a technical report about the development of the application. Content of the report
should cover design, implementation and testing.
In the end you need to demo your application, explain your code and answer technical questions.

I. Introduction
I currently work as an IT specialist for a multinational firm. My company has just invested
in a modest start-up in the entertainment content production industry. Because this start-up was
formerly a tiny business, when it was acquired and expanded, it ran into issues with human
resource management. I was hired to assist in the development of an HR management program.
In this report, I will detail the entire design and development process for this application.

II. Requirement
1. Functional requirements
• The system should allow the manager to add, edit, remove employees.
• The system should allow the manager to search for employee information.
• The system should allow the manager to make revenue statistics.
• The system should allow the manager to save or load the data.
2. Non-functional requirements
• All employee details would be kept private.
• The system can run on multiple devices.
• The system should distinguish between U.S. currency and currency from other nations.
• The application must load in 2 seconds.
• The system should be able to integrate with the existing inventory system.
3. Use Case Diagram
The use case diagram is below. The critical features evaluated and implemented include adding new
employees, searching for infomation about the employee, calculating the sales. The manager can add, edit,
and remove employees and make statistical sales.

IV. Implementation
Several screenshots of the MAIN source code:
This code is used to get user input data for creating new employees and declare successful employee
creation. The code has added an input control function in the employee ID entry.

Figure 7: Get and check input data

Page 12
 This employee class is used to store the information of the employees. This class can be called anywhere
in the project to create a new employee's information by using the Object.

Figure 8: Class Employee

Page 13
 The following code is created for two purposes: getting data from the file into the program (including
displaying it outside the application) and saving all the data after the job is done.

Figure 9: Load and Save Data

Page 14
 The following code is attached to the Previous and Next buttons. When the user clicks the Previous
button, the system will display the information of the before employee. On the other hand, when clicking the
Next button, the system will display the information of the after employee.

Figure 10: Previous Button and Next Button

Page 15
 Several screenshots of the application:
This is the default interface every time the application is launched. The manager can create a new
employee by filling in all the information in the Text Field and then clicking create.

Figure 11: Default Interface

Page 16
 Every time the manager creates an employee successfully, a notification window will appear and display
information about the employee that has been created.

Figure 12: Create New Employee

Page 17
By clicking Next or Previous, the user can continuously view the employees already in the system.

Figure 13: View Employees

Page 18
V. Test
When the user enters the character in the ID and clicks Create. The system will notify it as an
inappropriate character and ask the user to re-enter it.

Figure 14: Wrong ID Format

Page 19
Every time the user opens the application, they need to load the data by File/Load All Employee Data.

Figure 15: Load Data

Every time the user closes the application, they need to save the data by File/Save All Employee Data.

VI. Conclusion
The report body part includes all the steps from design, coding and testing. Variable names are set
according to clearly identifiable rules. The program works well, full features based on user requirements.
Simple design suitable for users.
The report section also includes clear comments that help programmers working with this program can
easily maintain and upgrade in the future.
