Identify the program you plan to develop


Assignment

You have assumed the role of managing the technology infrastructure at a zoo. You will develop a working program (a monitoring system) for the zoo designed to follow the specifications outlined in the overview. You will also provide detailed documentation describing your development process. The following forms as the basis of your program. It should be in java.

Monitoring System

As a zookeeper, it is important to know the activities of the animals in your care and to monitor their living habitats. Create a monitoring system that does all of the following:

• Asks a user if they want to monitor an animal, monitor a habitat, or exit

Displays a list of animal/habitat options (based on the previous selection) as read from either the animalsor habitats file, (which are attached in separate files)(Asks the user to enter one of the options)

• Displays the monitoring information by finding the appropriate section in the file

• Separates sections by the category and selection (such as "Animal - Lion" or "Habitat - Penguin")

• Uses a dialog box to alert the zookeeper if the monitor detects something out of the normal range (These will be denoted in the files by a new line starting with *****. Do not display the asterisks in the dialog.)

• Allows a user to return to the original options

You are allowed to add extra animals, habitats, or alerts, but you may not remove the existing ones.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

I. Process Documentation: Create process documentation to accompany your program that addresses all of the following elements:

A. Problem Statement/Scenario: Identify the program you plan to develop and analyze the scenario to determine necessary consideration for building your program.

B. Overall Process: Provide a short narrative that shows your progression from problem statement to breakdown to implementation strategies. In other words, describe the process you took to work from problem statement (your starting point) to the final product. Your process description should align to your end resulting program and include sufficient detail to show the step-by-step progress from your problem statement analysis.

C. Pseudocode: Break down the problem statement into programming terms through creation of pseudocode. The pseudocode should demonstrate your breakdown of the program from the problem statement into programming terms. Explain whether the pseudocode differs from the submitted program and document any differences and the reason for changes.

D. Methods and Classes: Your pseudocode reflects distinct methods and classes that will be called within the final program. If the pseudocode differs from the submitted program, document the differences and reason for changes.

E. Error Documentation: Accurately document major errors that you encountered while developing your program.

F. Solution Documentation: Document how you solved the errors and what you learned from them.

AI. Program: Your working program should include all of the specified requirements. The comments within your program will count toward the assessment of the documentation aspects of your submission.

A. Functionality

1. Input/Output: Your program reads input from the user and uses system output.
2. Control Structures: Your program utilizes appropriate control structures for program logic.
3. Libraries: Your program utilizes standard libraries to pull in predefined functionality.
4. Classes Breakdown: Your program is broken down into at least two appropriate classes.
5. Methods: Your program utilizes all included methods correctly within the classes.
6. Error Free: Your program has been debugged to minimize errors in the final product. (Your program will be run to determine functionality.)

B. Best Practices: These best practices should be evident within your working program and process documentation.

1. Formatting Best Practices: Provide program code that is easy to read and follows formatting best practices as defined by the industry, such as with indentation.

2. Documentation Best Practices: Include comments where needed within the program in appropriate detail for communicating purpose, function, and necessary information to other information technology (IT) professionals.

3. Coding Best Practices: Ensure your program supports clean code through descriptive variable names.

Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:

1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.

2. The response also include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.

3. Also Include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
