Build Instructions

Development Environment Description

• Programming Language: Java 17

• IDE: IntelliJ IDEA / Eclipse / VS Code (Java support)

• Database: PostgreSQL 15 (or compatible version)

• JDBC Driver: PostgreSQL JDBC Driver 42.6.0 (postgresql-42.6.0.jar)

• Download from: ​https://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html

• Add to project classpath or IDE libraries

• Operating System: Windows / Linux / macOS

• Build Tool: None required (plain Java compilation via IDE or javac)

Software Required

• Java JDK 17 installed and configured (java -version to check).

• PostgreSQL installed and running.

• PostgreSQL JDBC driver included in the project classpath.

• IDE (IntelliJ/Eclipse/VS Code) or command line compiler to build Java project.

Build Instructions

1. Clone the project from your Git repository:

   git clone <repository_url>
   

2. Open the project in your IDE.

3. Add PostgreSQL JDBC jar (postgresql-42.6.0.jar) to the project libraries.

4. Compile all .java files.

5. Ensure database schema is created in PostgreSQL:

• Run create_tables.sql to generate all tables.

• Optionally, run insert_sample_data.sql for test data.

Launch Instructions

1. Ensure PostgreSQL is running and accessible.

2. Update JDBC connection settings in JDBC.getConnection() method with:

• Host

• Port

• Database name

• Username

• Password

3. Run the main class:

   java University
   

or via IDE Run Configuration.

4. The CLI menu will appear:

• Administrator: manage universities, add professors/students

• Professor: assign grades to students

• Student: enroll in subjects

Testing Instructions

Administrator Use-case Test

1. Launch program, select Administrator (1).

2. Add a university.

3. Verify in the database that table University contains the new entry:

   SELECT * FROM University;
   

Professor Use-case Test

1. Launch program, select Professor (2).

2. Assign a grade to a student for a subject.

3. Verify that table Student_Subject has updated Final_Grade and Status = 'PASSED':

   SELECT * FROM Student_Subject WHERE Student_Id = <id> AND Subject_Id = <id>;
   

Student Use-case Test

1. Launch program, select Student (3).

2. Enroll in a subject.

3. Verify that table Student_Subject has a new row with Status = 'ENROLLED':

   SELECT * FROM Student_Subject WHERE Student_Id = <id> AND Subject_Id = <id>;
   

Usernames and Passwords

• Database: Use your local PostgreSQL credentials.

• Application CLI: No usernames/passwords required for the prototype (IDs are selected from lists).

Step-by-Step Mini Guide

1. Launch application.

2. Choose actor from main menu: Administrator / Professor / Student.

3. Follow on-screen menus:

• Admin: Add University → Add Professor → Add Student

• Professor: Assign Grade → select professor → subject → student → grade

• Student: Enroll in Subject → select student → select subject

4. Verify actions in the database using SELECT queries.
