Airline or Credit Card Membership - Essay Example

Airline or Credit Card MembershipDescribe this Diagram: and the rest of the question II. Describe this DiagramThis diagram looks like the schema of a logic or flowchart for an airline or credit card membership rewards program. There is an annual present for all active Gold members, except those who opted out of the scheme during the year. Members are given points based on their level of use of service. In the example, when Lily who is a user or member logs in, the system immediately checks to see if she is a new or existing member.

This can be seen from the program’s logical options to add member, cancel member, update member information or view member information. Details that can be viewed are the member name, address, phone number, points, address, phone number, notes and member ID number. The other options that exist are to add points for a member, minus points, redeem gift certificates for a member and give the annual present. IV. System Design This is a logic system design for the project. The inner circle is the logical next step to the user’s logging in to the system (Yeates & Wakefield, 2003: 42).

The outer cordon and its connectives check the various options, for example, is the user active or not, is she eligible for a reward or not. V. Possible Future Extensions to the Present DesignPossible future extensions to the present design might include choice of selection of rewards for users depending on their accumulated points. Not only Gold members should be rewarded, there should also be something for Silver members, Platinum and Bronze, depending on the range of points accumulated during the year.

The choice of rewards also makes it more worthwhile for members, when they can choose to accumulate reward points till their target reward can be purchased. VI. What the Team Has Learned This was a good exercise in programming and logic and has not only made the team more aware of the options possible, but in doing so also helped them think out of the box to incorporate more options into the scheme that the users are sure to appreciate and enjoy.
