Airline Reservation

You are to develop an airline reservation system. The airline reservation system must be able to: • Create and add new airline companies • List all companies An airline company must be able to: • Create and add new flights (A flight has a start destination, an end destination, a take-off time and a landing time) • Add passengers to flight (make a booking) • Remove passengers from flights (cancel a booking) • Display all flights • For any flight, display all passengers on that flight There are two types of passengers: • Standard class who can only be booked on two flights for any one airline • Business class who can be booked onto up to four flights for any one airline You should develop a user interface (UI) menu system that allows users to have access to all of the features of your system. (None of the functionality of your airline reservation system should be coded in your UI) The data that is entered into the system should be stored in appropriate data structure(s) and serialized. When the airline reservation system starts the user should be given a choice to load the serialized data or start with a blank system. Testing You should provide a comprehensive JUnit test suite for the main classes in your program. If you are unsure about which classes to provide testing for you should speak with the module leader for clarification. Advanced Features Marks will be given for the advanced features listed below Design Patterns (5%) You are required to use the observer pattern at an appropriate place in your program. It is up to you to decide where is appropriate. Graphical User interface GUI (10%) In addition to your UI you should develop a graphical user interface (GUI). Your GUI should be able control and view all of the features of your airline reservation system. (None of the functionality of your airline reservation system should be coded in your GUI) Programming Technique not taught During the Module (10%) Marks will be allocated for the correct use of any programming technique which was not taught during the module. This is your opportunity to demonstrate that you can learn and apply software development techniques on your own (This is what all employers look for when asking for a reference). Report You should write a report explaining your design, paying particular attention to the data structure where you store the data. You should explain why you chose this particular data structure. You should also explain where and why you have used polymorphic programming interfaces and enumerators. Your report should also discuss the main features of your UI and GUI, if using one, and include screen shots. If you have used any programming techniques not taught on the module you should discuss what techniques have been used, where they were used and why.
