Study Case

We want to create a tool capable of calculating the geometry for a dike reinforcement.

A dike reinforcement is a series of operations that take place on a previously defined dike. These operations will afect its structure, and therefore its geometry.

The user will provide the following input:

• Dike profile characteristic points (8 points, 4 polderside, 4 waterside).
• Reinforcement data:
  • Height
  • Width
  • Cost of material.

The user wants to know:

• The costs for all possible reinforcements with the data given.
• The geometries for all possible reinforcements with the data given.

Minimal functional requirements.

• The tool can be used a python library.
• The tool outputs the data to a directory given by the user.

Minimal non-functional requirements.

• The tool has 80% code coverage.
• The tool has no failing tests.
• The public methods are documented.

Extra

• The tool accepts an ini file (or other) containing all required input data.
• The tool generates all output in one file.
• The tool has a CLI interface.
• The tool has a GUI interface.
• The tool can be run as a stand-alone exe.
• Both minimal functional and non-fuctional requirements should still be met.
