Computer Science 307 – Assignment 1: Configuration Management
If you have a Study.com College Saver membership and are seeking college credit for this course, you must
submit an assignment and pass the proctored final exam. You must submit your assignment before
registering for the final. Below you will find prompts for writing a report and instructions for submitting your
assignment.
About this Assignment
Software systems are constantly changing during development and use. Bugs are discovered
and must be fixed. System requirements change, and you must implement these changes in a
new version of the system. New versions of hardware and system platforms are released, and
you must adapt your systems to work with them. Competitors introduce new features in their
system that you must match.
As changes are made to the software, a new version of a system is created. Most systems,
therefore, can be thought of as a set of versions, each of which may have to be maintained and
managed. When several people are involved in developing a software system or working on a
component, their changes must be coordinated. Otherwise, one programmer may make
changes and overwrite the other’s work.
In this course, you learned about the purpose and importance of configuration management
policies and processes. For this assignment, you will write a 750 to 1,000 word essay on that
topic using the three prompts shown below. Your essay should be double spaced and use a 12point Times New Roman font.
Prompt
Please address all three prompts in your assignment.
1. Define configuration management.
2. Identify five components of a configuration management plan. (Refer to Chapter 12, Lesson
10: What Is Configuration Management? – Definition, Process & Tools)
3. Explain five possible setbacks a company could face if they don’t develop effective
configuration management policies and processes.
Using Sources
You may refer to the course material for supporting evidence. You may also use other primary
and secondary sources as needed and cite them using APA format. If you use any Study.com
lessons as sources, please also cite them in APA (including the lesson title and instructor’s

Computer Science 307 – Assignment 2: Designing UML Diagrams
If you have a Study.com College Saver membership and are seeking college credit for this course, you must
submit an assignment and pass the proctored final exam. You must submit your assignment before
registering for the final. Below you will find prompts and instructions for submitting your assignment.
About this Assignment
In this course, we’ve used the Unified Modeling Language (UML) for the requirements modeling
phase of a project. UML is a standard language used to both visualize elements within a system
and provide a picture of the software’s design.
In this assignment, you will develop a full UML suite. You will be designing an in-home smart
thermostat, creating a UML case diagram, a sequence diagram, and a deployment diagram for
this system.
Upon completion of this project, you will be able to:
Design a UML case diagram
Create a UML sequence diagram
Develop a UML deployment diagram for this system
Scenario
You are the IT lead in a start-up company that has started marketing smart thermostats for
residential heating and cooling systems. Leadership has tasked you with designing a system that
consumers can install in their homes. These systems should be easy to install and user-friendly.
Before you can start writing any code for these devices, you will need to come up with a design
that both the business and your IT staff can understand. In order to keep the project organized,
each flowchart will be developed separately.
Here is what you will need to deliver for this assignment:
A UML case diagram for an in-home smart thermostat system
A UML sequence diagram for the thermostat system
A UML deployment diagram for the thermostat system
A written report that defines each type of diagram, explains their importance and use, and justifies
the design decisions in your diagrams

subscription for, Balsamiq, LucidChart or diagrams.net which are free to create your UML
diagrams. You should write your report in Microsoft Word or another word processor.

submit an assignment and pass the proctored final exam. You must submit your assignment before
registering for the final. Below you will find prompts and instructions for submitting your assignment.
About this Assignment
In this course, you have learned how to create class-based component design.
In this assignment, you will develop a complete class-based design for an in-home smart
thermostat that controls heating, air conditioning, and a fan.
Upon completion of this project, you will be able to:
Define class-based component design
Develop a data flow diagram, state chart, activity diagram, and interface descriptions
Design a user interface
Develop a testing plan
Justify the design for the user interface and the testing plan.
Scenario
You are the IT manager of a company that makes in-home smart thermostats. Before you
develop any code or build any product, you will need to create a system design that can be
reviewed by your IT departments and key users.
This requires you to establish a design that is both functional and easy to use. You have decided
to use a class-based design for the product, and so all subsequent design decisions flow from
this. After developing the class-based design, you will establish the technical flow diagrams (data
flow, state chart, etc.). These should be clear and understandable to the IT staff.
Once the flowcharts are constructed, you can continue with a user interface design, always
thinking from the users’ point of view. You may think you know what a user wants, but many
companies also bring in end-users to provide feedback on your design.
Finally, you’ll need to justify your design and decisions to upper management before you can
move forward.
Here is what you’ll need to complete for this assignment:

Develop a data flow diagram, state chart, activity diagram, and interface description for the in-home
smart thermostat system
Design a simple user interface for the thermostat system (the design is a visual plan/drawing)
Write a report that includes the following:
An explanation of the purpose and use of class-based component design
A proposed testing plan for your software. Your testing plan should identify possible testing
gaps and account for components that can’t be tested before launch.
A justification of your user interface design and testing plan. Use Study.com lessons and
outside sources to find evidence that will support your choices.
Please use Microsoft Visio or free online programs such as Balsamiq or LucidChart to create
your UML diagrams. You should write your report in Microsoft Word or another word processor.
