The Repair Shop application is a software system to support an auto repair shop. The app lets a customer register and create a profile and then can book an appointment. The administrative assistant will schedule and maintain available timeslots. The system also sends reminders to customers to book appointments for regular maintenance.
Our class diagram has nine classes and one abstract class. The RepairShop class has compositions with the BookableService, Business, TimeSlot, appointment, bill, and the abstract class named Person. We named this abstract class “Person” instead of user because user is a reserved word in SQL. We have a generalization from the Technician, Customer, Owner, Administration classes to the Abstract Person class.
