1.6 Outline of approach/Methodology Used

This project will use object-oriented approach. The reason of using:
Testability/Increased Quality
Automated testing can increase speed of testing and increase quality.
Maintainability
If designed correctly, any tier of the application can be replaced by another that implements
the correct interface(s), and the application will still work (can use multiple user interfaces,
can swap out data providers, etc.)
Reduces large problems to smaller, more manageable ones

The code can be reuse, if any problem occurs the programmer just need to solve the problem
having in class.
Fits the way the real world works

It is easy to map a real world problem to a solution in object-oriented code.

Programming
4.1 Introduction
This chapter is going to explain the coding which had been implementing in cinema system.
The programming language that I used to develop this system is VB.Net.
4.2 Source Code and Descriptions
Get Latest ID
Public Shared Function GetLastID() As String
Dim strSQL As String = "SELECT StaffID FROM Staff ORDER BY StaffID DESC;"
Dim id As String = String.Empty
Dim ds As DataSet = Nothing
Try
ds = GetDataSet(strSQL)
If ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count > 0 Then
id = ds.Tables(0).Rows(0)("StaffID")
Else
Throw New NotFoundException()
End If
Finally
If Not ds Is Nothing Then ds.Dispose()
End Try
Return id
End Function
The coding above is used to retrieve the latest staff id, and it will throw a custom exception
named NotFoundException if there is not data inside the staff table. This function is perform
for the purpose of generate new id for staff.
60 | P a g e
Cinema System
Generate New ID
Private Shared Function GetNewID() As String
Dim lastID As String
Dim newID As String = String.Empty
Try
lastID = StaffDA.GetLastID
newID = "S" & (Convert.ToInt16(lastID.Substring(1)) + 1).ToString("000000000")
Catch ex As NotFoundException
newID = "S000000001"
End Try
Return newID
End Function
The coding above is generate a new id for the new staff by using some calculation with the
latest staff id. If NotFoundException is fired, which mean there is no staff in database, then it
will return the first valid staff id S000000001.
Generate Random Number

Private Function GetNewRefNo() As String
Dim refNo As String = String.Empty
Dim availableNo As String = "1234567890"
Dim random As New Random()
For i As Integer = 0 To 9
refNo &= availableNo(random.Next(availableNo.Length))
Next
Return refNo
End Function
The coding above is random generate 10 digit for online reference purpose. The valid number
is from range 0-9.
61 | P a g e
Cinema System
Access XML Configure File

Configure File
<appSettings>
<add key="CompanyID" value="B000000001"/>
<add key="CompanyName" value="YuZong Cinema"/>
<add key="ContactNo" value="017-1245678"/>
<add key="Address" value="Gurney Plaza"/>
<add key="Description" value=""/>
</appSettings>
This is XML configure file which hold company information.
Coding to access configure file

Public Shared Property Value(ByVal key As String) As String
Get
Return AppSettings.Get(key)
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
UpdateAppConfig(key, value)
End Set
End Property
In order to access information under appSettings inside config file, the coding above can
simple retrieve the information by simply Imports
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager, then create a property which allow
programmer easily call out the information in any form.
62 | P a g e
Cinema System
Change value inside configure file

Private Shared Sub UpdateAppConfig(ByVal key As String, ByVal value As String)
Dim xmlDoc As New XmlDocument()
xmlDoc.Load(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ConfigurationFile)
For Each xElement As XmlElement In xmlDoc.DocumentElement
If xElement.Name = "appSettings" Then
For Each xNode As XmlNode In xElement.ChildNodes
If Not xNode.Attributes Is Nothing Then
If xNode.Attributes(0).Value = key Then
xNode.Attributes(1).Value = value
End If
End If
Next
End If
Next
By using above code, it allow user to change the value inside configure file by simply
provide the key and new value to be changed.

Software Testing
64 | P a g e
Cinema System
Software Testing
5.1 Overview
Conducting the software testing is the process of executing a system with the intent of finding
errors. There is not software that able to come with 100%, therefore, testing the system is
basically involves series of activities aimed at evaluating an attribute or capability of the
system and also determine that the system is usable in practice and meets its required results.
An implemented system is not unlike other physical where inputs are received and outputs
are produced, but the system can fail in many bizarre ways.
Software bugs will almost exist in implemented software module with moderate size. It is
because the complexity of software is generally intractable and also limitation of human
ability to manage complexity.
Regardless of the limitations, testing is an integral part of activities in software development.

It is broadly deployed in every phase in the software development cycle. One of the purposes
for system testing is improve quality of the system.
Performing the system testing able to estimate the system reliability, the reliability of system
software has important relations with any aspect of the software, including the structure and
amount of testing it has been subjected to.

Conclusion
6.1 Overview
In this project of YuZong Cinema System, it is basically done in successfully in which the
objectives of the system is clearly defined and understand. This system able to operate
throughout different of platform in which it could split into administration part and also
counter staff part.
Most of the tools that use to build YuZong Cinema System are Microsoft product, each of
these tools are available in Microsoft website. One of the major tools that use for developing
YuZong Cinema System is Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. An Integrated Development
Environment that support various development languages and contains a lot of build-in
feature that facilitate the development job.
In additional, this project would be has a full concept and more idea for practical wise for
next project in future. It just can going on more smooth since got the experience through the
development life cycle in this project. This project would become a good base for any future
project exploration.
6.2 Problem Encountered

There are some problems occurred in the development process. Since this is a group project,
team conflict cannot be avoided when idea are put into discussion. In most of the time, we
will conduct a brainstorming session to introduce new idea and evaluate the feasibility of
certain idea. Conflict happen when one member is in dispute with the idea of another team
member. Sometime one of the team member may loss motivation, this will affect the progress
of the entire project, so each of the team member have to take initiative to motivate another
team member. In order for this project to complete within the timeframe set previously, we
always help each other when another is facing some problem.
For system implementation, there could be problem of logical structure. In order to gather
more about knowledge and idea for the structure, research has been done through World
Wide Web. Besides that, several handbook of system development or programming has been
read and take it as references, so that it can assist us to complete the logic structure.
69 | P a g e
Cinema System
Sometimes the problem may unable to solve from resources found, the problem has been
solved by taking advice from the friends who has experiences of related problem.
6.3 Suggestion for future development

Understand the needs of end users are never end, users requirement and system requirements
is rapidly change and increased day by day. The system is considered complete and function
able, however, there are still lots of improvement that can be make for this system.
Enhancements can be made to improve the system to be more effective and reliable way. For
future enhancement, the system could add on the new feature such as custom setting for id
generator and date display format. With this feature, the administrator able to set the id
format for their own business rules, and date display format can fit to difference country
culture. Another enhancement can be make is, the report generation, more option can be
provided for example the report layout, the paper size and so on.
With the help of the above suggested enhancement on the system, the future improvement of
the system could be able to benefits both customers and also system users.

6.4 Personal Reflection

This final year project takes me about half year to complete, starting from documentation
until system testing. The problem faced during the development of the system is lack of logic
skills. Although vb.net has been teach during first year second semester, but the logic on how
object-oriented programming and three-tier design works is still very confusing, especially
three-tier design for system structure. To solve this problem, revision for the object-oriented
programming is done and several online research are carried out in order to recall back what
had been taught and improve the basic knowledge for login skills.
Furthermore, another problem faced is creating report. At first I plan to use crystal report, but
the problem is I dint learn how to using crystal report, so I switch to using print document to
replace crystal report.
Another problem faced during final year project is validating the input data. Most of the input
fields need validation to improve data integrity. Input fields such as name, IC number, email
address, and price need format validation. The unfamiliarity of validation code in vb.net had
causes some difficulties to validation those fields. Therefore, a lot of findings are done and I
found a useful method for validation which is regular expression. Finally all the input fields
are validated to make sure that all input data are in the required format.
Throughout this final year project, a lot of valuable experiences and lessons are gained. One
of the lessons is time management. This is important to make sure that all the required
document and deliverables can be submitted before deadlines.
