Assignment -
AIM - The aim of the lab work is to teach/show students how to develop software systems from scratch.
OBJECTIVES - The students shall be expected to use the skills obtained in the lab to carry out a course project, where they shall build software systems from scratch. This course project shall be done in groups of 3-4 students. The software MUST meet the client's requirements, as indicated in the problem definition. It MUST also be developed within an agreed timeframe and within a specified budget.
The following is the breakdown of the design/development process
1. Perform system analysis: System requirements specification (SRS)
2. Perform functional-oriented analysis: Data flow diagram (DFD)
3. Conduct users' view: Use case diagram
4. Conduct structured view: Class diagram, object diagram
5. Conduct behavioral view: sequence diagram, collaboration diagram, state chart diagram, activity diagram
6. Conduct implementation view: component diagram
7. Conduct environmental view: deployment diagram
8. Build the system
9. Build a calendar plan for the project
RESOURCES - The following is the list of resources that may be helpful to students in carrying out the work outlined in this manual. Please note that the list is not exhaustive and students are encouraged to use other resources that they may deem fit.
1. ISO/IEC 12207 and ISO/IEC 15288
2. Roger S. Pressman, Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach. McGraw Hill, 2010, 7th Edition.
3. Ian Sommerville, Software Engineering. Addison-Wesley, 2011, 9th Edition.

REMOTE BANKING SYSTEM (RBS) - To develop a remote banking system. Firstly, the bank registers a new customer and provides him/her with a username and password. The customer is now able to log into the system using these credentials, with the system checking for validation.
The RBS is required to perform the following functions: allow the customer to check the account balance, allow the customer to transfer funds to other accounts within the same bank, allow the customer to pay for ZESCO bills and/or generate bank statements. For fund transfers and bill payments, the system MUST ensure that the amount of money involved in less than the account balance.
