Assessment Details:

In this assignment, you have to perform a system analysis and design for the Gold- Cinema (GC) case study provided at the case study section.

Task:

You have to read the Gold- Cinema (GC) case study below and write a report to answer the followings:

The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) identifies all the activities required to build, launch, and maintain an information system. Discuss the six core processes of the SDLC required to develop the GC project.
Develop a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) description supported with a table for the GC project explaining the ID, description, and duration for each task.
Develop PERT/CPM chart explaining the early and late start for each task. Identify the critical path and the total time to finish the project.
Use the information in Table 1, calculate the net present value, the payback period, and the return on investment by using a discount rate of 6 percent. The development costs for the project were $15,000. Do a five-year return on investment.
Develop a use case diagram which models the actors in GC system.

You may need to make some assumption as required. Whenever you make assumptions, please state these clearly.

Case Study: Gold-Cinema System (GCS)

The Gold- Cinema is a ticket office that would like to develop the online system for keeping the track of customers, productions, performances, and seats. The Gold- Cinema intends to keep the track of their customers in a way that they can notify their customers about upcoming events, and identify those who frequently support the Cinema. For this purpose, customers require to create an account prior to booking any thicket for the first time. The Information records on the online system consist of first and last name, residential address, city, zip code, mobile number, and email address. For digital purposes, a unique identification number is created for each customer. If the customers face with any issues for creating account or booking a ticket, the advisor needs to support them. In this case, the online system needs to record the assigned advisor for each customer, by recording the name of the advisor who support customer for each time.

Regarding productions, the new online system keeps the information in terms of name and type of the productions such as movie, play or concert. Regarding performance, the number of tickets sold and the date of performance are specifically recorded.

The management of the cinema wishes to operate an entirely testable procedure to the whole online system in order to discover any bug and major issues prior to the final launch of the system.

The company considers different methods to estimate the investments in this project. Table 1 presents the information the accountant provided to the system analyst to calculate Net Present Value (NPV), Payback Period and Return on Investment (ROI).

Case Study: Online System for Kangaroo Taxi

Kangaroo Taxi is a new company in Australia, offering online-booking services for their users. Kangaroo Taxi is about to launch an easy-to-use website allowing its users to access from smart phones. The website will enable the users to plan and book their trip. Upon the first use, users would be able to enter their details into the system including their means of payments (e.g., credit card, PayPal, etc.). This will allow the users to use the Kangaroo Taxi in any subsequent bookings as well. Users can simply login to their registered accounts and make a booking for a taxi. What is needed is to enter their trip’s origin and destination. The system will provide them with an estimated cost according to the trip information.

Suppose you are asked to develop this online system for Kangaroo Taxi. You have been given only three weeks to come up with a blueprint of the system design. You will be presenting your design to a team of consultants. The online system should be able to perform a number of activities such as adding or creating a new user, checking for available taxis and drivers in the area requested by the customer, calculating cost of trip, issuing online ticket or receipt and processing all bookings transactions. You may add any other possible functions that you deem necessary for this system to function in this business case. Task:

Draw use case description for registering accounts and making a booking.
Draw use case diagram
Identify all entities and their attribute and draw an E-R (Entity-Relationship) diagram.
Draw the class Diagram
Draw a Sequence diagram
Draw activity diagram

if you believe that you need to make additional assumptions, clearly state them for each situation *You can use Microsoft Visio or Microsoft Word to present your design.
