9. A supermarket needs to develop the following software to encourage the regular customer. For
this, the customer needs o supply his residential address, telephone number, and the driving
license number. Each customer who registers for this scheme is assigned a unique customer
number (CN) by the computer. A customer can present his CN to the check-out staff when he
makes any purchase. In this case, the value of his purchase is credited against his CN. At the
end of each year, the supermarket awards surprise gifts to 10 customers who make the highest
total purchase over the year. Also, it awards a 22 carat gold coin to every customer whose
purchases exceed Rs. 30,000. The entire values against the CN are reset on the last day of
every year after the prize winners’ lists are generated.
a) Draw the DFD for above defined Supermarket Prize Scheme.
b) Draw the Use Case Model for above defined Supermarket Prize Scheme.
