Tài liệu Activity 7.1: Identifying Data Integrity Requirements pdf

Activity 7.1: Identifying Data Integrity Requirements In this activity, you will evaluate a set of data requirements from the Ferguson and Bardell, Inc. case study to determine areas where possible data integrity issues might arise. You will then formulate a set of data integrity requirements that must be followed by the development team for the Ferguson and Bardell, Inc. solution. Objectives After completing this activity, you will be able to: ! Identify areas where data integrity and validity are required. ! Specify data integrity requirements as they relate to data requirements. Before You Begin This activity will take place in small groups, with a class discussion following each exercise. Prerequisites To complete this activity, you will need the: ! Data requirements generated in Activity 3.1. ! Existence and relationship requirements generated in Activity 4.2. Time to complete this activity: 25 minutes 40 Activity 7.1: Identifying Data Integrity Requirements Exercise 1: Determining Data Validity Requirements In this exercise, you will identify data validity requirements for the Ferguson and Bardell, Inc. case study. ! Identify data validity requirements 1. Join the group to which you have been assigned by the instructor. 2. With your group, examine the physical data design on the next page. 3. Consider the data requirements specified in Activity 3.1. 4. Look for areas in the solution that depend upon data being in a certain format or within a range of values. These areas are data validity requirements. Your group should attempt to find five to seven data validity requirements. 5. Document each data validity requirement and its reason in the following table. There may be more rows in the table below than data validity requirements. Only fill in information that you find. Data validity requirement Description Timesheet must report positive billable hours. Because a timesheet is a revenue- generating document, it must report a positive dollar amount. Invoice cannot bill for negative amount. Ferguson and Bardell, Inc. cannot generate invoices that lead the client to expect revenue from Ferguson and Bardell, Inc. Customer address and postal code must be verifiable. All addresses within the Ferguson and Bardell, Inc. system must have valid state and postal codes. Contract end date must be later than start date. For a contract to be valid, it must be for a length of traceable time. Vehicle identification number (VIN) must be traceable through government records. The VIN must be in a format that is specified by the federal government and automobile manufacturers. Note Activity 7.1: Identifying Data Integrity Requirements 41 Employee billing rate cannot be zero. All employees must bill at a positive billing rate. When you have finished, you will discuss your findings with the class. 42 Activity 7.1: Identifying Data Integrity Requirements Bitmap found in v06_1609a_act61-answer.vsd or .bmp TypeID (FK) (N)Int FirstName VChar 25 MiddleInitial VChar 2 LastName VChar 25 Address1 VChar 40 Address2 VChar 40 City VChar 30 State VChar 20 Zip VChar 10 SSN VChar 9 E-Mail VChar 50 Salary Currency BillableRate Currency EmployeeID (PK) Int Employee ClientID (FK) (N)DInt EmployeeID (FK) (N)Int JobID (FK) (N)DInt TaskID(FK) (N)DInt Date Date Expenses Currency TotalHours Float BillableHours Float Description VChar 255 TimesheetID (PK) DInt Timesheet ClientID (FK) (N)DInt TimesheetID (FK) (N)DInt Date Date Amount Currency Work Description VChar 255 InvoiceID (PK) DInt Invoice Name VChar 60 Address1 VChar 40 Address2 VChar 40 City VChar 30 State VChar 20 Zip VChar 10 ClientID (PK) DInt Client EmployeeID (FK) Int Make VChar 100 Model VChar 100 VIN VChar 30 Year Date BeginMileage Int EndMileage Int VehicleID (PK) Int Vehicle Is Issued 1 Completes 1 1 ∞ ∞∞ ∞ Is Sent To 1 0 ∞ ∞∞ ∞ 1 1 ∞ ∞∞ ∞ JobDesc VChar 255 JobID (PK) DInt Job TaskID (FK) DInt JobID (FK) DInt JobTask_Link Has Bills Time To VehicleID (FK) (N)Int MaintenanceCost Currency MaintenanceDesc VChar 255 MaintenanceDate Date MaintenanceMiles Int MaintID (PK) Int VehicleMaint Can Have 0 ∞ ∞∞ ∞ 1 1 1 ∞ ∞∞ ∞ TypeDesc VChar 255 TypeID (PK) Int EmployeeType Is Classified As 1 1 1 ∞ ∞∞ ∞ 1 1 ∞ ∞∞ ∞ ClientID(FK) DInt EmployeeID(FK) Int StartDate Date EndDate Date Description VChar 255 ContractID(PK) DInt Contract Purchases 1 1 0 ∞ ∞∞ ∞ Is Made From Contracts With TaskDesc VChar 255 TaskID (PK) DInt Task Has 1 ∞ ∞∞ ∞ 1 0 ∞ ∞∞ ∞ VehicleID (FK) Int EmployeeID(FK) Int Vehicle_Link Can Be Assigned To 0 ∞ ∞∞ ∞ 1 Bills Time To 1 ∞ ∞∞ ∞ 1 Activity 7.1: Identifying Data Integrity Requirements 43 Exercise 2: Determining Data Integrity Requirements In this exercise, you will determine the data integrity requirements for the Ferguson and Bardell, Inc. solution. ! Determine data integrity requirements 1. Refer to the physical data design on the previous page. 2. Consider the existence and relationship requirements specified in Activity 4.2. 3. Look for areas in the data design where relationships require integrity or where the existence of entities will cause integrity issues. These areas are the relational integrity requirements. 4. Document each data integrity requirement and its reason in the following table. There may be more rows in the table below than data integrity requirements. Only fill in information that you find. Data integrity requirement Relationship requirement Timesheet must contain an existing employee, client, job, and task. Timesheet entity must have foreign keys for employee, client, job, and task entities. Contract cannot exist without a valid employee and customer relationship. Contract entity must have foreign keys for employee and customer entities. Task must be tied to a specific job. Unique foreign key in job entity is primary key of task entity. Invoice cannot be generated without a timesheet. Invoice entity must have foreign key for timesheet entity. Maintenance on a vehicle cannot exist without a vehicle. Vehicle maintenance entity cannot have null foreign key for vehicle entity. Job cannot be created without a default task. Timesheet entity cannot have null foreign key for job or task entities.
