Appendix A

1. The use-case diagram shown in Figure A-1 captures the Student billing function but does not contain any function for accepting tuition payment from students.

We should apply an engineering grounded method for developing a system when to better the quality of the production procedure. Engineering-based methods incline to attempt to plan out a large part of the procedure in great discussion for a long span of time, this functions well until things alter. So their quality is to...
