Context
Caroline runs a painting and decorating company. The company specialises in indoor
painting. Customers can call, email, or visit her store to enquire about the cost of having
their rooms painted.
Caroline needs a system that can:
• hold employee information
• generate an estimate to show the cost of painting a customer’s rooms
• monitor any outstanding customer payments.
Features of the system
• The user interface must be text based.
• Caroline must be able to:
• enter employee information
• enter customer information
• enter the dimensions of each room
• generate an estimate.
• To generate an estimate the system needs to:
• calculate the surface area of the walls in square metres (height x width)
• add £15 per square metre for paint
• add £70 per room if wallpaper needs to be removed
• add on the employee charge:
• £250 for a fully-qualified painter
• £100 for an apprentice.
• Caroline must be able to:
• search for an estimate
• view outstanding payments
• view how much money has been paid to the company (revenue).

A summary of the files supplied to you and a checklist of files you should submit is given
on page 11.
Task 1: Entering employee details
Caroline needs to enter employee details before she can assign someone to a job.
Requirements
Here is an outline design of your program.
• Display a title stating “Employee details”.
• Ask the user to enter the employee’s ID, name, telephone number.
• Ask the user to enter the employee’s qualification level using the codes:
• AP for apprentice
• FQ for fully-qualified.
• Display the employee details on the screen:
• If the user entered AP in the qualification level, it should display it as “Apprentice”,
if they entered FQ it should display as “Fully-qualified”. If any other data is entered
it should display an error message.
• Ask the user to confirm the information is correct:
• If any information is incorrect, ask the user to re-enter all of the data again and
then display the employee details again.
• Return to the title message.
The employee data does not need to be saved.

Your task
1 Write a program to implement this design. It must be easy to read and include
comments to explain how it works.
Save the final version of your source code as a file called employee in the CA folder.
You are advised to spend no more than 1½ hours on Task 1.
(Total for Task 1 = 8 marks)

Task 2: Generating an estimate
Caroline must be able to enter details of the customer and of the house that requires
painting. She also needs to charge customers VAT at 20%.
The system must then calculate how much the job will cost.
Requirements to generate an estimate
• The user interface must be text based.
• Display a welcome message.
• Ask the user for this information:
• Customer number, date of estimate, number of rooms that require painting:
• For each room, ask for the room name (e.g. lounge, dining room) and the
number of walls in the room:
• Ask if wallpaper needs to be removed – if yes, charge £70 per room
• For each wall, ask the height and width of the wall in metres.
• Calculate the total surface area of the walls in square metres.
• Multiply the total surface area of the walls by £15 per square metre for paint.
• Ask what type of employee should be assigned to the job.
• Add on the cost of the employee – if apprentice add on £100, if fully-qualified add
on £250.
• Calculate and display the total.
• Add 20% VAT to the total.
• Calculate and display the final total.
• Ask the user if they wish to generate another estimate:
• If yes, return to the welcome message
• If no, display an exit message.
The data output from this activity does not need to be saved. There is no need to
validate the user input in this task.

Your task
2 (a) (i) Develop a program to meet these requirements. It must be easy to read and
include comments to explain how it works. You are expected to decompose
your program into subprograms. The quality of your program design will be
assessed using the source code you submit.
(ii) Write and implement a plan to test that the program works correctly and that
the requirements have been met. Use the test_plan.doc template provided. A
copy of this is shown in Appendix B.
Save the final version of your source code as a file called estimate in the CA folder.
Save your test plan in a file called estimate_test_plan.doc in the CA folder.
*(b) Write an evaluation of your program that:
• assesses how well your program meets the system requirements
• explains how your program calculates the final total.
You should use correct technical terms where appropriate.
Save your evaluation in a file called estimate_evaluation.doc in the CA folder.
You are advised to spend no more than 4½ hours on developing and testing
the program and 1 hour on the evaluation.

Task 3: Tracking jobs and revenue
Caroline needs to keep track of job and revenue information. You will write a program to
enable this to happen.
The program will sort and search the file paintingJobs.txt to select and display
information about estimates and jobs.
The paintingJobs.txt file shows Estimate Number, Estimate Date, Customer ID,
Final Total (in £ pounds), Status (E for Estimate, A for Accepted job or N for Not accepted),
and Amount Paid (in £ pounds). A copy of this file is shown in Appendix A.
Requirements
• Display four options for the user to select from.
Option A Search for an estimate
Option B Display outstanding payments
Option C Display total revenue
Enter Q to quit
• The user must be able to select an option or enter ‘Q’ to quit the program.
• All data must be read from the paintingJobs.txt file.
• The program must work for all of the records in the paintingJobs.txt file.
Option A must provide a prompt for the user to enter the estimate number.
• It must find the customer ID and estimate details for the entered estimate number.
• Here is a suggested format for displaying the data.
Estimate Number: <the estimate number>
Customer ID: <the customer ID>
Estimate Amount: <the final total>
Estimate Date: <the estimate date>
Status: <the status>

Option B must show all jobs with outstanding payments. This only applies to estimates
with a status of A (Accepted). Payments are outstanding if the amount paid is less than
the final total.
• It must only show outstanding payments for jobs with a status of ‘A’.
• It must calculate and display the total of the outstanding payments.
• Here is a suggested format for displaying the data.
Estimate Number Customer ID Final Total Amount Paid Amount Outstanding
Estimate Number Customer ID Final Total Amount Paid Amount Outstanding
Estimate Number Customer ID Final Total Amount Paid Amount Outstanding
Total Outstanding: Total Outstanding
Option C must calculate the total revenue for jobs that have been accepted and
fully paid.
• The calculation must only include jobs with a status of ‘A’.
• The calculation must only include jobs that have been fully paid.
• Here is a suggested format for displaying the data.
Total Revenue
The company’s total revenue so far is <the total revenue>

• explains which method you used to extract information for each option from
the data file.
You should use correct technical terms where appropriate.
