Designing the software – Learning Aim B
Introduction:
In this assignment. I am asked to design a software solution to meet client requirements. Firstly I will
be producing a design for the rental transaction system application including clear and effective
diagrams, illustrations and algorithm designs. In addition to this, I will be able to produce a sufficient
design report which would cover all the requirements in order to be met. Lastly, I will be developing
the rental transaction system application by implementing the program to provide the functionality
required by the college.
System requirements:
The first requirement of the system would be to calculate the hire cost.
The second requirement of the system is the rental agreement that should be printed with
details about the customer such as customer name, date of birth, nationality and how long
they have held their license for.
The third requirement of the system would be the car, (car type and color), time and date of
rental and the duration of rental which would also be on the rental agreement.
The fourth requirement would be to consider the total rental cost along with including VAT
that should be calculated and displayed on the rental agreement.
The fifth requirement system should only allow rentals for customers who are 24 years and
above with a valid driving license.
The other requirement that would be needed is the pop up message to be appeared on
screen if a user attempts to rent a car to a customer who is under 24 years of age or a
customer with an invalid license.
All successful transactions should be saved on a database and should be available for future
retrieval
The system should be user friendly.
The application should have onscreen help.
Design Specification, e.g. Input, Output and timescales:
For this part, I will be showing the input, output and timescales in a table to identify the total
amount of price for the output. There are five car types given with the duration of either a day, a
week or a month. Subsequently, I will be figuring the calculation for both normal price and VAT to be
able to find out the output price. This would be give a small brief of what I need to be doing.

Here are the tables shown:
Data input (Car type) Process Data output
Small for 1 day £30.00 + 20% VAT The output of this would be a
total of £36.00
Small for 1 week £95.00 + 20% VAT The output of this would be a
total of £114.00
Small for 1 month £270.00 + 20% VAT The output of this would be a
total of £324.00
Medium for 1 day £35.00 + 20% VAT The output of this would be a
total of £42.00
Medium for 1 week £120.00 + 20% VAT The output of this would be a
total of £144.00
Medium for 1 month £315.00 + 20% VAT The output of this would be a
total of £378.00
Large for 1 day £45.00 + 20% VAT The output of this would be a
total of £54.00
Large for 1 week £160.00 + 20% VAT The output of this would be a
total of 192.00
Large for 1 month £450.00 + 20% VAT The output of this would be a
total of £540.00
Premium for 1 day £65.00 + 20% VAT The output of this would be a
total of £78.00
Premium for 1 week £200.00 + 20% VAT The output of this would be a
total of £240.00
Premium for 1 month £547.00 + 20% VAT The output of this would be a
total of £656.40
Vans for 1 day £35.00 + 20% VAT The output of this would be a
total of £42.00
Vans for 1 week £120.00 + 20% VAT The output of this would be a
total of £144.00
Vans for 1 month £315.00 + 20% VAT The output of this would be a
total of £378.00
Timescale and responsibility:
I will now be discussing how long my project will take which would show all the dates and times with
planning my design effectively and sufficiently. Furthermore, I will make the decision with planning
the design forms as quickly as possible and ensuring that it does not exceed my current weeks
expected.
