AUTOMOBILE SERVICE BOOKING SYSTEM
An automobile service company needs an AUTOMOBILE SERVICE BOOKING SYSTEM
(ASBS) to enable its customers to schedule their car service bookings on a particular date and
time. ASBS should accommodate 2 type of users namely Admin and Customer. Each of these
users will be required to perform the following functionalities:
Functionalities of Admin
i. Login to Access System
ii. Maintain Available Booking Slots
a. Add Available Booking Slots
b. Delete Available Booking Slots
iii. Display
a. Available Booking Slots on a particular date*
b. Booked Slots on a particular date
c. Booking details of all customers on a particular date (this includes booking
slots, customer name, contact number and car registration number)
iv. Search all booking records for a particular Customer
v. Exit the system
Functionalities of Customer
i. Register to create account for Login
ii. Login to Access System
iii. Modify Personal Details
iv. Book Available Booking Slot(s) on a particular date#
v. Cancel Booked Slot(s)
vi. Exit the system
Note:
1. The service centre operates 10 hours a day from Monday to Friday only (8AM to 6PM)
a. Each booking slot is of an hour duration.
b. All minor service requires maximum of one hour to complete
c. All major service requires at least two hours to complete
d. Customer needs to indicate the type of service (minor / major) during booking and the
system should automatically book one slot for minor service and two slots for major
service
e. The service centre has two service bays hence two cars can be serviced at the same
time
2. Program code in # needs to get the help of the program code in * for viewing the available
slots before booking
3. Bookings done cannot be modified
a. To modify, customer need to cancel the existing booking and make a new one
b. All new bookings and cancellation of existing bookings should update the Available
Booking Slots and Booked Slots
You have been hired as a programmer by the service centre and required to program the ASBS.

1.0 REQUIREMENTS
i. This is a group assignment and requires two members in the group. Each member
shall focus on programming either Admin OR Customer functionalities and finally
integrate both programs as one.
ii. You are required to carry out extra research for your system and document any
logical assumptions you made after the research.
iii. Your program should use symbolic constants where appropriate. Validations need
to be included to ensure the accuracy of the system. State any assumptions that you
make under each function.
iv. You are required to store all data in text files (only .txt format is allowed – other
formats are strictly not allowed). There is no limit on the number of text files that
can be used but they should be kept minimum (maximum 5 text files).
v. You are expected to use list and functions in your program. Your program must
embrace modular programming technique and should be menu-driven. Use of
dictionary is not allowed.
vi. You may include any extra features which you may feel relevant and that add value
to the system.
vii. There should be no need for graphics in your program, as what is being assessed, is
your programming skill not the interface design. The marking scheme for the
assignment has been provided so that you clearly know how the assessment for this
assignment would be done.
viii. You should include the good programming practice such as comments, variable
naming conventions and indentation.
ix. In a situation where a student:
– Failed to attempt the assignment demonstration, overall marks awarded for
the assignment will be adjusted to 50% of the overall existing marks.
– Found to be involved plagiarism, the offence and will be dealt in accordance
to APU regulations on plagiarism.
x. You are required to use Python programming language to implement the solution.
Use of any other language like C/C++/Java is not allowed.
xi. Use of global variables is not allowed and use of built-in functions other than the
ones taught in class require prior permission.

2.0 DELIVERABLES
Submission is required to be made in 2 parts.
In part one you are required to submit the softcopy of design artifacts (pseudocode and
flowchart) by end of week 11. The file should be submitted as one
NAME_TPNUMBER.pdf file – that incorporates basic documentation standards such
as header and footer, page numbering and includes:
– Cover page
– Table of contents
– Captions and brief explanation
– References using APA Referencing (if any)
For part two, you are required to submit a softcopy of the following by end of week 13:
i. Program coded in Python – submitted as .py file.
– Name the file under your name and TP number (e.g.
KATHY_SIERRA_TP123456.py)
– Start the first two lines in your program by typing your name and TP number
(e.g. as follows):
#KATHY SIERRA
#TP123456
ii. Text files created through test data – submitted as .txt files. Text files should be
zipped before uploading.
iii. A documentation of the system – submitted as NAME_TPNUMBER.pdf file –
that incorporates basic documentation standards such as header and footer, page
numbering and includes:
– Cover page
– Table of contents
– Introduction and assumptions
– Additional features with explanation (if any)
– Screenshots of sample input/output with explanation
– Conclusion
– References using APA Referencing

4.0 PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Distinction (80% and above)
This grade will be assigned to work which meets all of the requirements stated in the question.
The program runs smoothly when executed. There is clear evidence and application of Python
concepts up to advanced level. The program solution is unique with excellent coding styles and
validation. The program implemented maps completely against the design (pseudocode and
flowchart) as seen in the documentation. The design of the solution varies in styles and has
unique logic with hardly any errors / omissions. The documentation does not have any missing
components. Sample inputs/outputs documented have clear explanation. Student must be able
to provide excellent explanation of the codes and work done, show additional concepts / new
ideas used in the solution, able to answer all questions posed with accurate / logical answers /
explanation provided with sound arguments and clear discussion. Overall an excellent piece
of work submitted.
Credit (65%-74%)
This grade will be assigned to work which is considered to be of good standard and meets most
of the requirements stated in the question. The program runs smoothly when executed. There
is clear evidence and application of Python concepts up to at least intermediate level. The
program solution is unique with good coding styles and validation. The program implemented
maps well against the design (pseudocode and flowchart) as seen in the documentation. The
design of the solution varies in styles and has unique logic with minor errors / omissions. The
documentation does not have any missing components. Sample inputs/outputs documented

Overall a good assignment submitted.
Pass (50%-64%)
This grade will be assigned to work which meets at least half of the basic requirements
(approximately 50%) stated in the questions. The program runs smoothly when executed.
There is clear evidence and application of Python concepts at basic level. The program solution
is common with basic coding styles and validation. The program implemented somewhat maps
