Assignment Instructions: Implementation Purpose

Assignment Instructionsassignment 7 Implementationpurposethe Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to continue with our design modeling of the ITOT Case Study. For the Manage Shopping Cart use case, you will create a test scenario, and two test cases. You will also create a persistent UML class diagram and SQL statements for ShoppingCart and ShoppingCartItem. Finally, you will map your domain classes ShoppingCart and ShoppingCartItem to Java statements using your domain class diagram with attributes and operations.

You will develop two test cases following the specified format. In testing, test cases are designed first and later tested by a different team; actual results cannot be exercised at this stage. You will create the test cases in a table format, including details such as name, description, prerequisites, steps, input, expected result, and status. The steps should be numbered. Moreover, you will produce SQL statements including constraints for the ShoppingCart and ShoppingCartItem tables and create sample Java statements for the corresponding classes based on their design attributes and operations.

In this assignment, you will complete specific sections (6, 6.1, 6.2, 6.2.1, 6.3, 6.3.1, 7, 7.1, 7.1.2, 7.2, 7.2.1, 8, 8.1, 8.2) of your Design Specification, covering test scenarios, test cases, persistent class diagrams with primary and foreign keys, SQL statements with constraints, and Java class implementations with mappings of attributes and methods.

Review the provided quick resources on test scenarios and test cases, SQL, UML to Java conversions, and class diagram implementations to guide your work. Ensure your submittal follows the instructions for formatting, completeness, and clarity, reflecting a comprehensive understanding of the specified design and implementation tasks.

Paper For Above instruction

The management of online shopping carts plays a crucial role in e-commerce systems, requiring robust design to ensure data consistency, integrity, and seamless user experience. In this context, the development of detailed test scenarios, test cases, and corresponding database and application code is fundamental. This paper discusses the process of creating a comprehensive design for the Manage Shopping Cart use case, focusing on test case development, database schema modeling, and object-oriented implementation in Java.

Test Scenario Development

The first step involves defining a test scenario that captures a representative interaction with the shopping cart system. For this case, the scenario might be “Adding an item to the shopping cart and verifying cart contents.” This scenario encapsulates essential operations such as adding, removing, and viewing items within the cart. Proper documentation of this scenario facilitates targeted testing and ensures all functional requirements are covered.

Test Cases Design

Following the scenario, two distinct test cases are designed. The first test case, "Add Item to Cart," involves steps like selecting a product, specifying quantity, and confirming addition. The expected outcome is that the item appears in the shopping cart with correct details. The second test case, "Remove Item from Cart," involves selecting an item for removal and verifying the cart updates accordingly. Each test case's steps are numbered for clarity, and the expected and actual results are documented to track test success or failure.

Database Schema Modeling

The system's persistence layer relies on the ShoppingCart and ShoppingCartItem classes, modeled as relational database tables. Using normalization principles, ShoppingCart contains attributes such as CartID (primary key), CustomerID, and CreationDate. The ShoppingCartItem table includes ItemID (primary key), CartID (foreign key), ProductID, Quantity, and Price. SQL statements are constructed to create these tables with primary and foreign key constraints ensuring referential integrity. For instance, the foreign key linking ShoppingCartItem to ShoppingCart enforces consistency between cart and items.

Java Class Implementation

The object-oriented design maps the UML class diagram into Java classes. The ShoppingCart class encapsulates attributes like cartId, customerId, creationDate, and a collection of ShoppingCartItem objects, illustrating composition. Methods include addItem, removeItem, and getTotal. The ShoppingCartItem class contains itemId, productId, quantity, and price, with methods to adjust quantities and compute totals. These classes demonstrate the part-whole relationship, with ShoppingCart containing multiple ShoppingCartItem instances, mirroring the database relations.

Overall, this comprehensive approach ensures that the system's design is methodically planned with rigorous testing, normalized database schema, and solid object-oriented implementation, forming a robust foundation for the e-commerce application's shopping cart functionality.
