Case Study - LH Medical Company (LHM)

Design and Implementation

Task details This assignment is accompanied with a case study describing a high level system specification for an application.

Consider the following information and attempt the tasks given.

Repeat prescriptions may automatically be produced by the system if appropriate and are available for collection at any surgery by the patient. At any time, a practitioner may suspend or cancel the prescriptions.

Tasks:

Based on the above specified information, you are required to provide an implementation and associated testing for the outlined system. You may use a suitable object-oriented programming language, such as Java, and may populate the system with appropriate data you have created for testing purposes.

In addition, you are required to produce a report detailing a critical analysis of the system and its development. This report should critique the system using software engineering best practices as considered throughout the module.

Documentary evidence (including diagrams, and source code) should be provided as appropriate within your report.

Assignment Tasks:

Task 1 Implementation
Develop a software application to implement your chosen use case and UML models.

As part of your answer illustrate how the principles of object orientation is implemented.

Task 2

Design patterns
Command pattern encapsulates a request as an object. Consider the following class diagram as the structure for the pattern:
Apply the command pattern (by modifying the classes in the above structure) to your chosen use case and class diagram which you have developed as part of Assignment coursework 1.

Write a software program to implement the command pattern.

Task 3
Object Constraint Language (OCL)
Incorporate OCL to represent the business logic, rules and constraints for the selected use case. As part of your solution include the correct syntax for pre and post conditions, navigation, and multiplicities. Produce a list of appropriate business rules and constraints.

Produce an implementation for the OCL

Task 4 Unit Tests
Produce Software testing, documentation, and verification considerations

Task 5
Design/implementation critique
Discuss and critically evaluate aspects of software engineer that you adopted
