Question

This needs to be written in Python. I'm writing this but I'd love to see how others would do it.

I have idea to make a program to keep track of reading. Set goal per day. Input minutes per day & book read. Could accumulate for whole month.

Input daily, but you can input it all at the end of the week if you want. I want the user to be prompted to enter a numerical value and book for each day. How would I go about prompting/keeping track of that? Maybe I should prompt the user to enter the date and keep track in a range of 7 days and start there.

Output: Hours total per week, book(s) read, average per day. Determine if goal was met.

Option to include genre into input/ output, but not required. I'd like the program to be able to run with or without it.

Below are the assignment requirements. A test plan is also required.

• Full pseudocode should be included in the comments.
• It must have at least one input and at least one output.
• It must validate the user input. This means the user is not allowed to just enter any value. You must check the value, and ask the user to enter it again, and repeat this loop until the user enters a valid value.
• Your program must use at least two loops in meaningful ways. The loops you use for input validation count for at most one of the two required loops. If you use loops to validate two separate inputs, that does not count as two loops for satisfying this lab requirement.
• It should be organized into separate modules (one module for input, one module for output, and one module for each separate calculation or action that the program is to perform [that is, each module should be "cohesive" and should only do one thing]).
• Use parameters and arguments to pass values into your modules (don't use global variables).
• The Python code should run correctly, and the logic should match your pseudocode.

The test plan should meet all of the following requirements:

• Follow the format given in the example test plans (one below, and one on the Testingpage). You can download and copy the test plan document below and use it as a template: replace the content of each section with your own content.
• Write the test plan as if for someone who cannot see your source code (utilize black-box testing). They can only run the program, provide inputs, and observe outputs.
• For each test case, include at least the following fields: Summary, Test Procedure, Test Data, Expected Result. Feel free to add more fields if you want to. (See Test Case for additional fields.)
• Include test cases for all important categories of input (valid, invalid, boundary, etc.). If your program passes every test case in your test plan, you should be confident that it functions correctly.
  • Be sure to run your program against the test plan to determine its correctness, and fix any bugs found.

TEST PLAN BOOK READ TRACKER:

Program Description Calculates hours total per week, books read, average per day and goal reached in the daily book read tracking activity in a week. Input Set_goal: The goal time to set for read a book in a day. Duration: The time spend to read a book in a day. Books_read: The book read in a day. Output sum_duration: Total duration of time spent to read the book. len_books_read: Total books read in a week. avg_per_day: Average time spent to read a book in a day. goal_reached: If statement to check the sum of set goals <= sum(duration) Test Plan Overview System tests using black-box testing of all functions of the program. Valid as well as invalid inputs are tested. Test Cases Test Case 1: Invalid Inputs Summary Verify that invalid inputs produce an error message Test Procedure When prompted for the number of minutes to set the goal, enter the input Test Data check Expected Result Message indicating that a whole number must be entered. Invalid Input! Input must be a numeric. Summary Verify that invalid inputs produce an error message Test Procedure When prompted for the number of minutes spent to read the book, enter the input Test Data adfsdf Expected Result Message indicating that a whole number must be entered. Invalid Input! Input must be a numeric. Test Case 2: Valid Inputs Producing No Output Summary Verify that input of the value lessthan 0 does not produce any output Test Procedure When prompted for the number of minutes to set the goal, enter the input Test Data -5 Expected Result Invalid Input! The minutes must be a positive. Summary Verify that input of the value lessthan 0 does not produce any output Test Procedure When prompted for the number of minutes spent to read the book, enter the input Test Data -120 Expected Result Invalid Input! Minutes should not be negative. Test Case 3: First 3 inputs of Day 1 Summary Verify that input of 30 and 50 to store the book records for Day1 Test Procedure When prompted for the minutes to set the goal and time duration to spend the time to read the book and the book name, enter the input Test Data 30 50 Introduction to algorithms Expected Result The output will be generated at the end of the program based on the weekly data. Test Case 3: Multiple inputs in a week Summary Verify that input greater than 2 produces the hours total average, books read and average per day.
