Course aim
This course aims to provide students with an intermediate knowledge of program implementation
using object-oriented programming. Principles such as inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation
constructors etc. will be used to write basic and intermediate level programs and GUI applications.
Purpose
The purpose of the assessment is to assess students’ ability to discuss the fundamental issues,
concepts and practices associated with software design and construction. Students will develop user
interface applying principles of effective user interface design and apply appropriate design techniques
to the development of object-oriented software to produce desired outcome.
Assessment Information

Assessment
Consider the following scenario:
You have been hired as an intern at Ahera Taera and have been designated to the software developer
team. As a team member you are required to create a customer management system for Ahera
Taera, a new retail outlet focusing on a varied range of customers from senior citizens to kids. The
customer management system should help to main customer data, products bought by customers,
discounts, and delivery mechanism.
There are a few requirements stated by the product manager which are as follows:
1. System should be able to maintain customer data which includes name, age, phone number, email
address, house address and products bought.
2. System should record data of all types of customers:
• New customer
• Registered customer
• Registered customer who have bought products.
3. System can have different discount calculation as per customer:
• Normal customer will not have any discounts.
• If age is above 60, you get 10% senior discount.
• If products are brought on weekends, you get 2% discount.
• Customers from Auckland and Wellington will get 1% discount.
4. There are different delivery mechanisms of products to customer:
• Home delivery through Courier (Needs to be billed $10 extra to the total).
• Pickup from shop.
Assumption: Product details are entered into the database (Product Name, Product price, Product
stock, Product description) which are visible in the Customer Dashboard.
