Portfolio of Evidence (PoE) — Background

It was that time of the semester when the first project submissions were due. The computer labs
were busy all the way until closing time, with lots of students working on projects.

On the Monday evening, Sipho managed to finish one of his projects and hand it in a whole day
early. 15 minutes before closing time, he waved goodbye to Lerato who was still furiously
working. On Tuesday midday, Sipho went to the lab to read his emails and saw Lerato in the same
spot. Still working hard and looking more determined than ever, she gave him a brave smile as he
walked past.

On Wednesday morning, when a well-rested Sipho had a class scheduled in that computer lab,
Lerato was still in the same spot. And by now, she was looking distinctly frazzled. No, she can’t
have been there the whole time. The labs definitely do close at night. But it sure looked like she
had been working for two days straight without sleep.

Sipho felt sorry for Lerato. It was difficult to have so much work to do all at once. Not sleeping
takes its toll. He had once been in the same position, burning the midnight oil and falling behind.
He realised that it would help tremendously if he didn’t leave things until the last minute. Now his
life was so much more organised. He had time for things like sleep throughout the whole
semester.

Right there and then, Sipho decided that a cool computer program could help Lerato to organise
her life better. So, he would try it out for himself first and then give Lerato a copy as a surprise
present. And maybe, just maybe, he could get to see his friend smile again.

The program will have to be able to store which modules a student is doing. Every module is
worth a specific number of credits and that number multiplied by 10 will be the number of hours
spent on it throughout the semester. For example, PROG6212 is 15 credits, so 150 hours should
be spent on it. Some of that will be in class, and the rest will have to be distributed throughout
the weeks.

Instructions
This portfolio of evidence (POE) consists of three parts – two parts submitted during the semester
and a final submission at the end of the semester. The parts build on one another, so make sure
that you keep a copy of your work in a safe place.

The requirements of real software projects frequently change, often in quite unexpected ways.
Here you have the benefit of knowing what all the requirements will be in advance. So, make use
of the opportunity. Reading all three parts before starting with the first one will minimise any
reworking for later parts.

The rubrics that will be used to mark your submissions appear at the end of this document. Please
pay attention to the weighting of items in the rubrics.

Note that marks will be awarded for running functional software, not just source code. So,
ensure that your source code compiles and that the readme file contains enough information
about running the software.

Important: This POE is NOT identical in terms of requirements to last year’s one. Read carefully.

Part 1 — Basic Application (Marks: 100)

Using C# and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), design and implement a standalone
desktop time management application that fulfils the following requirements:
1. The user must be able to add multiple modules for the semester. The following data must
be stored for each module:
a. Code, for example, PROG6212
b. Name, for example, Programming 2B
c. Number of credits, for example, 15
d. Class hours per week, for example, 5
2. The user must be able to enter the number of weeks in the semester.
3. The user must be able to enter a start date for the first week of the semester.
4. The software shall display a list of the modules with the number of hours of self-study that
is required for each module per week. The number shall be calculated as follows:

© The Independent Institute of Education (Pty) Ltd 2023

Page 4 of 23
21; 22; 23 2023

number of credits × 10
self-study hours per week= − class hours per week
number of weeks

5. The user must be able to record the number of hours they spend working on a specific
module on a certain date.
6. The software shall display how many hours of self-study remain for each module for the
current week. This should be calculated based on the number of hours already recorded on
days during the current week.
7. The software shall not persist the user data between runs. The data shall only be stored in
memory while the software is running.

Non-functional requirements:
1. You are required to use internationally acceptable coding standards. Include
comprehensive comments explaining variable names, methods, and the logic of
programming code.
2. You must make use of LINQ to manipulate the data.
3. You are required to create a custom class library that contains the classes related to the
data and calculations. The WPF application project should make use of the custom class
library.

Submit the following items for this part:

1. Source code including both the class library and Windows Presentation Foundation
application.
2. Unified Modelling Language (UML) class diagram showing the classes in both the class
library and WinForms application. You may use any software of your choosing to create the
diagram, but the file that you submit must be a .PDF export of your diagram.
3. A readme file with instructions for how to compile and run the software.

21; 22; 23 2023

Part 2 — Persisting the Data (Marks: 100)

The application developed in Part 1 is already useful in terms of functionality, but it has a severe usability
flaw: the data is not persisted, forcing the user to capture all the data from scratch if the application is
executed again.

For this part, you will continue working on the application you developed in Part 1. Remember to
implement any feedback provided by your lecturer on Part 1 before working on Part 2. Marks will be
awarded for this (see the rubric for details).

All the requirements from Part 1 must still be met by the program, with the following changes and
additions:
1. The software shall persist the data in a SQL database.
2. The user shall be able to register with a username and password.
3. The software shall store only the hash of the password in the database.
4. The user shall be able to log into the software with their username and password.
5. The user shall only be able to see their own data and never that of other users.

Non-functional requirements:
1. The application should use the custom class library developed in Part 1. You may update the class
library as necessary for the new functionality.
2. You can choose to access the database using the ADO.NET connected layer or Entity Framework
Core.
3. Regardless of database access technology, the application should use multi-threading to ensure that
the user interface never becomes unresponsive while retrieving or storing information.

Submit the following items for this part:

1. Source code including both the class library and WPF application.
2. Unified Modelling Language (UML) class diagram showing the classes in both the class library and
application. Indicate which changes you had to make to the class library. You may use any software
you choose to create the diagram, but the file you submit must be a .PDF export of your diagram.
3. Any additional artefacts that are required to run the application, for example, a SQL script to create
tables, if required.
4. A change log file that lists the changes implemented after feedback on Part 1.
5. A readme file with instructions for how to compile and run the software. Remember to include all
instructions related to the database!

POE — Web Application (Marks: 100)

The desktop application is now quite useful with the data being stored between runs. But having
to always use a desktop computer to run the program is maybe not the most flexible user
experience. Instead, create a web application that will allow the user to access their data from any
device that has a browser.
You are required to develop an ASP.NET Core web application for this part. It should have all the
same functionality as the application in Part 2, with your choice of one of the following features
added:
1. The software shall display in the format of a graph over time the number of hours spent on a module
per week. The ideal calculated number of hours should also be displayed on the graph.
OR
2. The user shall be able to set aside a specific day of the week for each module. When the website is
accessed, a reminder must be shown that tells the user which module is planned for the day.

Non-functional requirements:
1. You must again reuse the custom class library implemented in Part 2.
2. You must make use of ASP.NET Core.

Submit the following items for this part:

1. Source code including both the class library and web application.
2. Unified Modelling Language (UML) class diagram showing the classes in both the class library and
web application. Indicate which changes you had to make to the class library. You may use any
software you choose to create the diagram, but the file you submit must be a .PDF export of your
diagram.
3. Any additional artefacts that are required to run the application, for example, a SQL script to create
tables, if required.
4. A readme file with instructions for how to compile and run the software. Remember to include all
instructions related to the database!
5. A short user manual (1 200 to 1 500 words), including screenshots, that explains how to use the
website. You may use any application of your choice to create the user manual, but the file you
submit must be a .PDF export of the document.

Note: The manual will be marked only up to 1 500 words. Any extra words over the limit will be
disregarded.
