Introduction

Before you begin this assignment, be sure you have read the Udo, Marian, & Uduak Corporation (UMUC) Case Study. Also, you should review your completed Stage 1 & 2 assignments and the Stages 4 & 5 individual assignments to get an understanding of the future projects that build on this stage.

Purpose of this Assignment

This assignment gives you the opportunity to apply the course concepts to develop a Decision Table and a Decision Tree for one aspect of the new billing and payment system. This assignment specifically addresses the following course outcomes to enable you to:

• Effectively communicate with stakeholders to determine, manage, and document business requirements throughout the SDLC

• Perform modeling to assist with analysis and decision making

• Translate business requirements into systems by applying appropriate SDLC methodologies and incorporating industry best practices

The Deliverable

Using the Udo, Marian, & Uduak Corporation (UMUC) Case Study, build on the Requirements Document you developed in “Stage 1 – Requirements Document” and the diagrams you developed in Stage 2 to create a decision table and decision tree that describes how the organization determines which discounts, if any, are to be applied to products purchased.

Create a document that includes the following:

• The paper should consist of the two (2) diagrams (Decision Table and Decision Tree).

• Cover and a Works Cited page are also required. These are not included in the page count.

• The Cover page must include an appropriate title and your name.

• Use the Works Cited page to correctly cite and reference any sources you use with APA format.

• Use the Grading Rubric to be sure you have covered everything.

• Submit your paper via your Assignment Folder as a Microsoft Word or Power Point document with your last name included in the filename.

• If you use Visio or some other drawing tool, be sure it can be opened without a password or special software other than Microsoft Office.

• Decision Table o Create a decision table that describes how the organization determines which discounts, if any, are to be applied to the products purchased. o This diagram should look similar to the one shown in: Textbook, Structured System Analysis and Design Fig. 8.5: Complete decision table for payroll system example.

• Decision Tree o Create a decision tree that describes how the organization determines which discounts, if any, are to be applied to the products purchased.

o This diagram should look similar to the one shown in: Textbook, Structured System Analysis and Design Fig. 8.8: Decision tree representation of the decision logic in decision tables shown in figures 8.5 and 8.6, with only two choices per decision point.

• Completeness – Have all conditions and combinations of conditions that determine which discounts, if any, are to be applied to the products purchased been depicted?

• Correctness – are the all the conditions and combinations of conditions correctly depicted?

• Formatting – Decision Table and Tree are properly formatted and professional in appearance; spelling is correct.
