Specification

Introduction

A suitable system to implement. This system must be a data processing system that concerns the creation, storage, management, processing and visualising of a set of data with which you are currently involved. 

This implementation MUST be undertaken using the Python 3 programming language (as per the work you have done in your learning sessions).

Part 1 – System Build

Provide a concise written description of your selected data processing system (guideline word count 500 words). This can include diagrams or images if this is required to best support your description. Also, include the user stories that describe the functionality of the system. Whilst this will not directly accrue any marks, it is required to establish if your software implementation satisfies the requirements of the system.

Produce a Python 3 implementation of your chosen system. This must provide the data processing and visualisation relevant to your system and provide a graphical user interface (GUI) to this processing and visualisation.

You must utilise object-oriented programming where appropriate and structure your solution using the module and package approach adopted by good idiomatic Python 3 implementations (also referred to as being Pythonic). It is expected that the structure of your submitted Python project will also reflect this

structure, utilising a main project folder (with any necessary sub-folders) and appropriate Python 3 script files.

You are also expected to provide full documentation of the details of your implementation by including appropriate code comments within your Python 3 script files.

Part 2 – Automated Testing

Provide a set of automated unit tests (using a suitable Python 3 automated testing  framework  such  as  the  unittest module)  that  exercise  and demonstrate the correct functionality for 4 separate methods taken from a class (or classes) that is involved with part of the data processing in your system. You can choose methods related to any of the CRUD functions. Do not include any method which would require testing of the GUI (this is beyond what was included as part of your learning during the module). Ensure you fully document your test code using appropriate code commenting.

Your automated unit tests must be provided within the Python project in a way that properly separates these tests from the production version of your implementation. Also, the automated unit tests must be able to be run from within the PyCharm Community Edition IDE you have worked with in your learning sessions, using the automated unit testing integration offered by this IDE.

Part 3 – System Function Traceability Report

Produce a report that traces the functionality provided in your software implementation back to the specific requirement for that function in your system description. This must be done by mapping the user stories that represent your system requirements to the various classes and methods of those classes that you have implemented in your software solution.

You must also provide for each trace back a short explanation as to how the mapped class and /or method directly contributes to satisfying the “So that…” aspect of the user story involved.

A recommended approach here is to tabulate your mappings so they can be easily traced.

Part 4 – Reflective Report

You are to write a short reflective report (guideline word count 500 words) focussing on one future trend in computing and considering how new ideas and theories could be applied in the application domain you have developed for this assignment.

You should consider both the potential benefits of the new ideas as well as the inherent complexities and present your reasoned evaluation and conclusions regarding the application of those new ideas within your chosen domain.

If your application is work related, you could conclude your reflective evaluation with recommendations relevant to your employer regarding the adoption, or otherwise, of new advanced computing techniques.

For this reflective report you could consider any one of the following topics or chose any other current computing topic:

  Big Data / Data mining or analytics / Data visualisation

  Artificial Intelligence / Machine learning

  Robotics and Social Interaction

  Virtual or Augmented reality

  Security within Cloud computing

  The internet of things (IoT)

  Autonomous Transportation

  Wearable devices and sensors

You are not expected to reference research papers or present a very technical explanation of the topic – rather you are expected to focus on the advantages and complexities of applying the theory in your application area.

You should start your reflective report with a short description of your chosen topic (250 words or thereabouts would be appropriate for this) before presenting your evaluation of its application.

Citations of web sources for this is perfectly fine but your sources must be correctly cited and a reference list provided (as per the Harvard referencing scheme).

Quotations should be kept to a very minimum and 90% of the words should be your own.

Deliverables

A zipped archive of your main Python project folder which must include all relevant files need to both run your software implementation and run the automated unit tests. Also, include in this archive the word processed document that contains the concise description of the system and the associated user stories  (as  required in  Part  1).  Any details of  further  instructions  or  any additional Python 3 libraries (beyond those in the standard Python 3 installation) must also be provided in a  readme.txt file (to ensure your software implementation can be run). Provide this archive as a single zip file. This archive will be used when you provide your demonstration of your system.

A single word processed document that contains the traceability and reflective reports required for the Part 3 and Part 4 tasks. Make sure this document is

clearly organised into titled sections and that any diagrams and images are referenced with a figure number. Ensure it is evident which of these sections relates to which assessment task to avoid any ambiguity when your work is considered during marking. 

Also, ensure you provide any referenced work within this document (as per the normal Harvard referencing scheme).

You are tasked with examining Artemis Financial’s web-based software application by conducting a vulnerability assessment. Implementing what you have learned so far and using the supporting materials provided to assist you, review and analyze the security vulnerabilities specific to Artemis Financial’s web-based software application and document the following in the Vulnerability Assessment Report Template.

1. Interpreting Client Needs: Review the scenario to determine your client’s needs and potential threats and attacks associated with their application and software security requirements. Document your findings in your Vulnerability Assessment Report. Consider the following regarding how companies protect against external threats based on the scenario information:
   • What is the value of secure communications to the company?
   • Are there any international transactions that the company produces?
   • Are there governmental restrictions about secure communications to consider?
   • What external threats might be present now and in the immediate future?
   • What are the “modernization” requirements that must be considered, such as the role of open source libraries and evolving web application technologies?
2. Areas of Security: Use what you’ve learned in Step 1 and refer to the Vulnerability Assessment Process Flow Diagram provided. Think about the functionality of the software application to identify which areas of security are applicable to Artemis Financial’s web application. Document your findings in your Vulnerability Assessment Report and justify your reasoning for why each area is relevant to the software application.

*Please note: Not all seven areas of security identified in the Vulnerability Assessment Process Flow Diagram may be applicable for the company’s software application.

1. Manual Review: Refer to the seven security areas outlined in the Vulnerability Assessment Process Flow Diagram. Use what you’ve learned in Steps 1 and 2 to guide your manual review. Identify all vulnerabilities in the code base by manually inspecting the code. Document your findings in your Vulnerability Assessment Report. Be sure to include a description identifying where the vulnerabilities are found (specific class file, if applicable).
2. Static Testing: Integrate the dependency check plug-in into Maven by following the instructions outlined in the tutorial provided. Run a dependency check on Artemis Financial’s software application to identify all security vulnerabilities in the code. Specifically, record the following from the dependency check report in your Vulnerability Assessment Report:
   1. The names or vulnerability codes of the known vulnerabilities
   2. A brief description and recommended solutions provided by the dependency check report
   3. Attribution (if any) that documents how this vulnerability has been identified or documented previously
3. Mitigation Plan: Interpret the results from the manual review and static testing report. Identify steps to remedy the identified security vulnerabilities by creating an action list that documents how to fix each vulnerability in your Vulnerability Assessment Report.

*Please note: You do not need to fix these vulnerabilities in this project.

As Hite and Seitz (2016) discuss in Chapter 2, “Wealth and Poverty,” the Millennium Development Goals were created to provide developing countries support through the partnership of developed countries. The first goal is to “eradicate extreme poverty and hunger” in the world.

According to the textbook, population is still increasing in the world’s poorest regions. Take a look at the The Millennium Development Goals Report [PDF]. 

• The report notes that progress in reducing extreme hunger is uneven across regions of the world. Looking at the graph on page 21 of the report, which regions have the least reduction in extreme hunger? Which regions have the greatest reduction in extreme hunger? What factors contribute to this uneven progress? What are some possible strategies for creating more progress in these regions of the world?
