The department of public works for a large city has decided to develop a Web-based pothole tracking and repair system (PHTRS). The department hired a new system analyst to analyse and design the web-based PHTRS. The analyst came up with the following description of their requirement:
Citizens can log onto a website to view and make potholes report. The report contains the location and severity of potholes. As potholes are reported they are logged with a "public works department repair system" and are assigned with the given data. The recorded potholes consist of information as follows:
an identifying number,
stored with street address,
size (on a scale of 1 to 10),
location (middle, curb, etc.),
district,
and repair priority (determined from the size of the pothole).
Further, a work order data is generated for each newly added pothole in the system. A work order is issued by an authorised PHTRS employee. A repair crew is allocated to repair…
