Project Two Guidelines and Rubric
Competencies
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies:
Implement appropriate language constructs for an object-oriented programming language
Write programs using object-oriented conven�ons in accordance with industry standard best prac�ces
Scenario
You work for Global Rain, a so�ware engineering company that specializes in custom so�ware design and development. As a junior
so�ware developer, you are part of a so�ware development team at Global Rain that collaborates to create so�ware solu�ons for
entrepreneurs, businesses, and government agencies around the world.
You have been newly assigned to a development team at Global Rain. This team is currently working on a project for an innova�ve
interna�onal search and rescue animal training company, Grazioso Salvare. Grazioso Salvare is seeking a so�ware applica�on that
will help track search and rescue animals, some�mes referred to as rescue animals. These rescue animals are obtained and trained by
the company to rescue humans from difficult (or even life-threatening) situa�ons.
A por�on of the work on this project has already been done. Your team lead has assigned you to create one new class and modify
the exis�ng driver class in the so�ware applica�on. You will deliver all the class files to the team lead, who will consolidate them
with the work from other team members and present the applica�on to your client.

Direc�ons
Your team lead has given you a specifica�on document detailing Grazioso Salvare’s so�ware needs. Other members of the Global
Rain development team have already started crea�ng the RescueAnimal.java, Dog.java, and Driver.java class files. Your team lead has
asked you to modify the exis�ng Driver.java class and create a Monkey.java class as your contribu�on to the team.
Required Pre-work
1. To gain a clear understanding of the client’s requirements, review the Grazioso Salvare Specifica�on Document, located in
the Suppor�ng Materials sec�on. As you read, pay close a�en�on to the a�ributes and methods that you will need to
implement into the program.
2. Open the Virtual Lab by clicking on the link in the Virtual Lab Access module. Then open the Eclipse IDE. Follow the
Uploading Files to Eclipse Tutorial to upload the Grazioso.zip files into Eclipse. Both the tutorial and the zipped folder are
located in the Suppor�ng Materials sec�on. The Grazioso.zip folder contains three class files. Once you upload the files,
compile the code. Although the program is not complete, it should compile without error.
3. Read through the code for each class that you have been given. This will help you understand what code has been created
and what code must be modified or created to meet the requirements.
Once you have completed the pre-work, you are ready to begin your assigned tasks.
Monkey.java Class
1. Your team lead reminded you to demonstrate industry standard best prac�ces in all of your code to ensure clarity,
consistency, and efficiency among all so�ware developers working on the program. In your code for each class, be sure to
include the following:
In-line comments that denote your changes and briefly describe the func�onality of each method or element of the
class
Appropriate variable and method naming conven�ons
2. In a new Java file, create the Monkey class, using the specifica�on document as a guide. The Monkey class must do the
following:
Inherit from the RescueAnimal class
Implement all a�ributes to meet the specifica�ons
Include a constructor. You may use a default constructor. To score “exemplary” on this criterion, you must include
the more detailed constructor that ini�alizes values for all a�ributes. Refer to the constructor in the Dog class for an
example.
Include accessors and mutators for all implemented a�ributes
Driver.java Class
In this class, you will modify and implement several different methods. You will need to refer back to the code from the other classes
to properly implement these methods.
1. As a reminder, you must demonstrate industry standard best prac�ces, such as in-line comments to denote changes and
describe func�onality and appropriate naming conven�ons throughout the code that you create or modify for this class.
2. First, you will modify the main() method. In main(), you must create a menu loop that does the following:
Displays the menu by calling the displayMenu() method. This method is in the Driver.java class.
Prompts the user for input
Includes input valida�on. If the user inputs a value not on the menu, the program should print an error message.
Takes the appropriate ac�on based on the value that the user entered.
IMPORTANT: In the Module Five milestone you were asked to create a menu loop but were not required to include input
IMPORTANT: In the Module Five milestone, you were asked to create a menu loop but were not required to include input
valida�on. Be sure to include input valida�on for your Project Two submission.
3. Next, you will complete the intakeNewDog() method. Your completed method should do the following:
Prompt the user for input
Include input valida�on. Note: The required input valida�on has already been included in the starter code; be sure to
review it.
Set data for all a�ributes based on user input
Add the newly instan�ated dog to an ArrayList
Hint: Remember to refer to the accessors and mutators in the Dog and RescueAnimal classes as you create this method.
4. Next, you will implement the intakeNewMonkey() method. Before you do this, you will need to create a monkey ArrayList in
the Driver.java class. Refer to the dog ArrayList for an example. Then, begin implemen�ng the intakeNewMonkey() method.
Your completed method should do the following:
Prompt the user for input
Include input valida�on for the monkey’s name and species type. If the user enters an invalid op�on, the program
should print an error message.
Set data for all a�ributes based on user input
Add the newly instan�ated monkey to an ArrayList
Hint: Remember to refer to the accessors and mutators in your Monkey and RescueAnimal classes as you create this
method.
IMPORTANT: In the Module Five milestone, you began implemen�ng this method but were not required to include input
valida�on. Be sure to include input valida�on for your Project Two submission.
5. Next, you will implement the reserveAnimal() method. Your completed method should do the following:
Prompt the user for input. The user should enter their desired animal type and country.
If there is an available animal which meets the user’s input criteria, the method should access an animal object from
an ArrayList. If there are mul�ple animals that meet these criteria, the program should access the first animal in the
ArrayList. The method should also update the “reserved” a�ribute of the accessed animal.
If there is not an available animal which meets the user’s input criteria, the method should output feedback to the
user le�ng them know that no animals of that type and loca�on are available.
6. Finally, you have been asked to implement a printAnimals() method that provides easy-to-read output displaying the details
of objects in an ArrayList.
To demonstrate this criterion in a “proficient” way, your implemented method must successfully print the ArrayList of
dogs or the ArrayList of monkeys.
To demonstrate this criterion in an “exemplary” way, your implemented method must successfully print a list of all
animals that are “in service” and “available”.
What to Submit
To complete this project, you must submit the following:
Grazioso.zip (Eclipse Project File)
Your submission for this project should be a zipped folder that contains all four of the following files. Use the Downloading Files
from Eclipse Tutorial in the Suppor�ng Materials sec�on to help you download these files.
RescueAnimal.java Class File: You were not required to make changes to this file, but you must include it as part of your
submission.
Dog.java Class File: You were not required to make changes to this file, but you must include it as part of your submission.
Monkey.java Class File. You created this class from scratch, implemen�ng a�ributes, a constructor, accessors, and mutators.
You should have included in-line comments and clear variable naming conven�ons.
Driver.java Class File. You were given some starter code within this file, and were asked to modify or implement a menu loop
and methods to intake dogs, intake monkeys, reserve animals, and print animals. You were also asked to include input
valida�on for certain methods and in-line comments describing your changes.
