Description
Christy’s business is taking off, and she’s trying to decide whether she should quit her salon day job and focus solely on her mobile business. Her bank account looks good but at a glance, she can’t easily see which transactions are related to her mobile business or her day job.
She finds that at the end of the week, she’s using excel to record details from her bank account and credit card to figure it out. Christy would like to record a description of the transaction indicating whether or not the transaction was income or expense and more details of what the transaction was for.
Christy usually pays for supplies using her credit card. Christy’s clients usually pay her in cash or by e-transfer.
Once Christy’s business grows to $30,000 in sales, Christy will be required to collect and pay HST. For this reason, Christy would like to know how much she’s paid and collected in HST.
She’d like a more robust system than Excel to manage these details.
Your task is to read the User Story below and create a class diagram and sequence diagrams to support the scenario.
