What SE602 Assignment 1 asks
This assignment requires you to apply software re-engineering principles to two distinct scenarios: a legacy Core Banking System and an aging healthcare management system. You will classify maintenance requests, design an implementation process for regulatory updates, and analyze system degradation using Lehman's Laws. Finally, you must propose a strategy for architectural refactoring to improve system maintainability. Your work must demonstrate critical thinking and logical reasoning regarding software evolution and maintenance.

Question 1: Maintenance Identification & Evolution Process Implementation
10 marksPart 1 requires you to map four specific banking change requests to their correct maintenance categories and provide a one-sentence justification for each. Part 2 asks you to design a non-coding implementation plan for the tax regulation update, covering impact analysis, system understanding, and release planning phases.

Question 2: Architectural Re-engineering & Lehman's Law Scenario Analysis
10 marksPart 1 asks you to explain how Lehman's Law of Continuing Change and Lehman's Law of Increasing Complexity apply to the healthcare system, citing two symptoms for each. Part 2 requires a re-engineering strategy to unbundle the monolithic system, specifically addressing system decomposition, risk mitigation, and a maintainability strategy to reduce human dependency.
