Your Task

Your task is to create initial analysis and design models which identify the important classes in your system, and their relationships. If your project includes a database, a database schema should be included showing the tables and fields of the database.

Your goal should be to create a minimal UML design model that will provide a good framework to build upon. A minimal design model will

• Include all important core data model classes (the classes representing the most important concepts in the problem domain)
• Include basic user interface classes for the minimal working system
• Have sufficient methods to adequately describe the behaviors of each class
• Have an architecture which cleanly separates the data model classes from the user interface classes
• Follow design principles (such as the Single Responsibility Principle)

Use Violet UML to create your model.

If your UML and/or OO modeling skills are rusty, please see us. The ability to create a model of a system is hugely important, and potential employers are likely to ask OO modeling questions in job interviews.

Grading

Your work will be graded as follows:

• Includes most important classes (model, view, and controller): 40%
• Shows relationships between classes: 30%
• Separates model classes from UI classes: 20%
• Appropriate methods to indicate behavior: 10%
