• You will develop a multi-class system to meet functional specifications applying object oriented design
principles.

• You will use a GitHub repository to maintain your code. This repository will be shared with your partner.

• Your development and design process will involve creating UML class diagrams.

• You will develop your understanding of and application of object-oriented programming techniques, in
particular those relating to inheritance and abstract classes.

• You will test your code using thoughtful test cases and write some JUnit tests that can be run to test your
code.

It is expected that students will creatively design and update a system based on appropriate design choices that
address the requirements and is consistent with the design of the starting system. Before you submit, read over the
entire assignment and understand all the tasks.

All code must conform to stylistic conventions including proper commenting, appropriate choice of identifier names
(including case), proper indentation and other readability issues. If the code does not follow consistent style and
formatting standards, marks will be deducted. For examples of coding style guides, please consult:

__________________________________________________________________________________

Each student must make an individual submission in Moodle.

The submission must follow the format of a professional report.

All developed code should also be committed into the pair’s GitHub repository in the GitHub Classroom.

It is important there is evidence of each student contributing to the assignment and pushing to GitHub. If there is no
evidence of each student committing code regularly to GitHub, that student will be given zero marks.

Generally, each individual student must at a minimum (more details specified in next section):

1. Assist with the authoring of at least two Junit test cases

2. Write code to demonstrate their understanding of the requirements and the starter system by correctly
implementing four property classes and the code associated with their use. In this coding students should be
able to demonstrate:

a. appropriate understanding of the classes modified/changed by including their name and a description
under the author tag at the top of the class

b. correct use of control structures i.e. decisions and iteration/looping

c. correct and appropriate use of abstraction, inheritance, encapsulation and polymorphism

d. appropriate use of naming and coding conventions

3. Assist with the creation of UML class diagrams to represent the system design at the beginning and end of their
changes

4. Provide sufficient demonstration of updates to their GitHub repository

5. Using examples from their code, answer some general questions about OO concepts.

Each student group must modify a system to address the user requirements in the next section.

This exercise requires you to:

• access the GitHub Classroom

• download some starter code

• import that code into your eclipse local workspace linked to your own Git repository

• review, comment and extend that code and

• make multiple commits and pushes to save changes into an online source code repository in GitHub.

Use the handouts provided in the resources section of Moodle to help with how to use Eclipse and GitHub.

The following description outlines the user requirements that are to be addressed in the computer system that you
develop.

Where there is not enough information provided, you may make assumptions as long as you document these.

Further information is given in the Detailed Requirements and Marking Criteria sections of this document.

System Specification
“A city council is looking for a new computer system in which to keep a register of all rate payers that pay rates on
properties within the council boundary. Each rate payer will be one person or legal entity identified at Australian law
e.g. public or private company, trust, partnership or other incorporated body e.g. sport club. For each ratepayer, the
system will store their name and postal address. The address will be stored in one text field containing the postal
address e.g. “75 Boundary Street, SomeSuburb, City”. Their postcode will be stored in a separate field. There will be
an optional field for the rate payer’s telephone number. Their type as identified e.g. individual or public company etc.
above will also be stored.

The council also has a record of each ratepayer’s property. Each ratepayer has only one property. Properties can be
of seven types: residential, commercial, vacant land, hospital, industrial, school/community and other. Each type has
additional attributes. These details are displayed in the following table:

Property Type Additional Attributes

Type e.g. townhouse, house

residential
Architectural style e.g. Victorian, Federation
business name
commercial
ABN
vacant land Overlay/s
Public or private status
hospital Facilities
Number of floors
industrial Hazard status

Property Type Additional Attributes

Heavy vehicle status

school/community Classification – public, private or independent

other Special description

For all property types there will be a description (lot number and portfolio according to state government registration
index), location (address format as defined above), an area in square metres, site value, capital improved value
(CIV), net annual value and valuation date. The capital improved value is a separate valuation performed at the
same time as the site (land) valuation and is greater than the land value for all cases except vacant land where it is
the same value. The valuation date is stored in the format DD MMM YYYY.

The total rates charged for a property depends on the CIV of the property and the type of property. The amount
charged is calculated by multiplying the CIV by the CIV rate for that type of property and then adding relevant extra
service levies designated for that property type. The table below indicates the 2020 rates.

Extra

A school/community address is given a categorisation based on student and staff/member numbers:

small (1-20 members);

medium (21-100); and

large (101 upwards).

If the ratepayer has a charitable status, a discount is applied to the total rate amount. The discount is 20% off the
total rate calculation.

As an example a property classified as a residential property having a CIV value of $350,000 would have a rate
charged for a calendar year of:

$350,000 x 0.39% = $1365.00 +

__________________________________________________________________________________

Waste Management service (1 x $350) = $350.00 +

Green Waste Management service (1 x $75) = $75.00 +

Fire Services Levy ($110 + 0.006% of $350,000) = $131.00

Total rate charge = $1921.00

As the ratepayer has no charitable status no discount is applied. If they had a charitable status, then the $1921
would be reduced to $1921 x 80% = $1536.80.

At this stage a proof of concept system has been developed. It runs in the Eclipse console and although three menu
items are listed only item 3 is implemented:

Council Rate Payer System

=========================

What would you like to do?

1. Add a Rate Payer
2. Add a Property
3. Calculate a Property Type's Yearly Rates Total
0. Exit Program
Enter a selection (0-3):

Item three presents a menu for selecting a type of property on which to estimate the total yearly rates:

Council Rate Payer System

=========================
CalculatePropertyTypeRates

What type of property are we dealing with?

1. Residential
2. Commercial
3. Vacant Land
4. Hospital
5. Industrial
6. School/Community
7. Other
0. To exit
Enter a selection (0-7):

When a user selects a type of property they are asked a number of questions (NB: only the Residential and Other
property types currently produce a rate calculation).

Enter a selection (0-7):1

What is the value of the property?

Enter a selection (100.00-50,000,000.00):350000

Does the rate payer have a charity status?

Enter a selection - (true or false)false

The answers to these questions help determine the total rate costs

Details Selected: Property [description=Not Available, capitalImprovedValue=350000.0,

capitalImprovedRate=0.0039]
Residential [
ServiceType [description=Waste Management][unit=1, rate=350.0]
ServiceType [description=Green Waste Management][unit=1, rate=75.0]
ServiceType [description=Fire Levy][base=110.0, percentage=6.0E-5, value=350000.0] ]

Total Rate Costs: 1921.0

After the calculation is displayed, the user has the opportunity to generate another rate notice for another type of
property or return to the main menu and exit the system.

The code for the system is present in a GitHub repository. You are asked to continue the coding of that system so
that it provides sufficient functionality that can demonstrate at least six property types and their total yearly rate
costs. You may also need to improve the formatting of some of the output.
