Case Study : FOCUSING ON ChemExec

Assessment 1

Your Task:

You are the project manager for the selected vendor’s development team. Your company, MelPolSys, develops and markets software to retail and hospital pharmacies and has decided to take on the ChemExec project to expand potential market share. MelPolSys and ChemExec will jointly develop the new software. MelPolSys will then market the finished product to other companies and pay a royalty to ChemExec for each sale.

ChemExec has provided you with a complete set of object-oriented analysis models, the quality of which you approved during contract negotiations. Your task is to move the project forward through design and implementation.

ChemExec has assigned an operational manager with some computer experience to your team full-time, and she is authorized to assign other ChemExec personnel to your project as needed. You have been assigned a full-time staff of four developers, all of whom have substantial design experience.

Assessment 2

Report Synopsis:

This assignment follows on from the work completed in assessment 1 and ChemExec case study analysis documents

This assignment requires a report to be submitted documenting the design & implementation elements specified in the task list below based on the ChemExec case study case study.

TASKS

General Overview

After completing the initial study for CHEMEXEC, a more detailed list of requirements for a system to support the needs of CHEMEXEC has been requested. CHEMEXEC has contracted your group to complete the following documentation:

Assessment 2 Specification

The following is the list of tasks that have to be completed. The final submission for Assignment 2 should cover only tasks outlined below. Please note all diagrams must follow relevant UML standards.

(1) Prepare a First cut Design Class Diagram for the use cases “Enter New Order’, ‘Create Case Manifest’ and “Record Order Fulfillment” based on the case study provided.

It should elaborate the attributes, the behaviors and show navigation visibility. The class diagram should include Domain classes and classes for the Controller and Boundary classes.

(2) System Modelling using Use Case diagram:

Draw a use case diagram for the use cases “Enter New Order’, ‘Create Case Manifest’ and “Record Order Fulfillment” based on the case study provided. It must follow UML standards.

(3) Prepare the sequence diagram for “Enter New Order’, ‘Create Case Manifest’ and “Record Order Fulfillment” use cases identified in the CHEMEXEC system (3+3+3= 9 marks)

Make use of the information in the class diagram and the use case diagram in task 1 & 2 to answer task 3.

(4) Technical Requirements and Network Diagram:

a. Specify the technical requirements of this system based on inputs, process and outputs. Create a list of any additional equipment that will be need to be purchased in order to support the new system. Provide cost estimates of the equipment.

b. Draw a network diagram including what might be necessary to support online chatting capabilities. Identify Internet connections, VPNs, and telephony links as appropriate. This diagram needs to be hand drawn completely based on the requirements of the case study provided. It should also contain a paragraph explaining the function of the components of the diagram. A photograph of the diagram is to be attached to the report. You are not allowed to copy the diagrams available on the internet.

Note: More information on this can be found in Lecture 9 PPT under ‘Network Architecture’.

(5) Implementation and Project Management:

a. Select a suitable deployment strategy (direct, parallel, or phased conversion) and justify your selection by outlining the logic behind your decisions.

b. Produce a risk management analysis detailing any possible risks to the project design and implementation, likelihood of them arising, the impact (severity) of them happening and any countermeasures that may be taken to mitigate (prevent or minimise) their impact.

Note: It is recommended that this information be presented in the form of a table.
