Wednesday 15 May

Today I was working on assignment three which everyone had started yesterday but I was not here to start the work as I was ill. Assignment three involved creating a program for a painting company named Painted. This program is being made to estimate the cost of painting a single room. Furthermore, this program must take into consideration the size of all the walls and windows in the room, how many walls and windows there are in the room, what quality of paint is being used, whether undercoat is required and many other factors. To start off with I wrote a functional specification that would explain what the program must do. I then moved straight onto the design phase, which required me to make flow diagrams of each phase the program must calculate (area of all the walls, what type of paint and customer ID etc). Creating the diagrams was easier than I originally thought.

Today I learned how to effectively write a detailed functional specification and how easy it is to create flow diagrams for a specific piece of information. Overall I found that today went rather quick, that’s probably because it is only a half day.
