Assumptions

Assume that the user enters an accurate figure for the hire hours.

Requirements

Use global variables and subroutines extensively to simplify the Main subroutine

Use a boolean variable somewhere in your program.

Sections Required

The assignment should be word processed with each page numbered. Suggested left margin 2.5cm, right margin a minimum of 1cm.

The following sections are required, (in this order).

1. Title Page

This should contain:

your name
subject name
tutorial group
tutor's name
assignment number
submission date

2. Statement of Authorship

This must contain:

the standard text for a Statement of Authorship for the Department
your name
subject name
assignment number
your signature
date signed

The work will not be marked without a signed statement of authorship.

3. Table of Contents

List all the major sections in the assignment and the page numbers they occur on.

4. Defining Diagram

As specified in class and the Defining Diagram Guide.

5. Pseudo Code

As specified in class and the Pseudo Code Guide.

6. Data Dictionary

As specified in class and the Data Dictionary Guide. Where possible the data dictionary should appear on the same page as the pseudo code.

7. Desk Check

As specified in the Desk Check Guide.
Provide a Desk Check for a 3 hour catamaran hire, then an invalid menu choice entry, then a closedown of CJCs Water Sports for the day because of strong winds. There is no need to print the report.

8. Visual Basic Code

The code should:

match the logic specified in the Pseudo Code
the code should be easy to read and understand. It should be
- well formatted (e.g. correct indentation, a blank line between sections)
- well commented. This should include comments about the program: program name, purpose, author; comments describing each variable and comments on each section of the program.
- have meaningful variable names
have Option Explicit

Copy the code from Access and paste it into your word processed document.

The code listing should:

be readable
be in a monospaced (non-proportional) font (Courier New preferred)
use a font size of 9 or10pt
avoid line wrapping (use a small right margin if necessary)

You must include a statement indicating whether the code listed successfully compiled (no syntax errors).

Example statement: "The code listed below compiled successfully." or "The code listed below did NOT compile."

9. Test Plan & Runs

Using the Test Plan below, cut and paste the table into your document, test the program and fill out the actual result and correct columns of the test plan
Provide printouts of input and output for the deskcheck above including a running of the Daily Usage report
To capture the current Window, ensure that the window is selected (e.g. place the cursor in the desired window) and press Alt+Print Screen. This can then be pasted from the Windows Cut/Paste buffer into the desired document (such as Word).
To provide a printout of the test runs, capture each window separately. To capture the Immediate window rather than the whole Access window, you need to undock it. To do this Right mouse click on the Immediate window and select Dockable (only if it doesn't already have a tick next to it), the Immediate window should now be a floating separate window that can be captured by itself.

Your runs must be made using the program listed in the previous section. You must include a statement indicating that the program runs are for your program as listed in the previous section.

Example statement: "The program runs below are the output of the program listed in the previous section."

Test Plan

Test 1: Normal example

Inputs	Expected Results	Actual Results	Correct?
Menu Choice = 2
Menu Option = 4 Hire = 4 hours
Menu Choice = 6 Hire = 1 hour

Menu Choice = 8

Test Set 2: Invalid Entries

Test Number	Reasons	Inputs
1	Quit straight away	Menu Choice = 8
2	Invalid Menu Choice	Menu Choice = 9
3	Invalid Menu Choice	Menu Choice = A
