[HELP] : Creating an object model and establishing test cases.

[Joe Farmer]

A library has a large collection of books organized in different rooms, rows and book-shelves that are all
numbered.
The local librarian is working on an application in which he can register the books and make inventory lists
for a given room, row, or book-shelf. Also, it must be possible to locate a given book by its ISBN number.

Task is to:
- Create an object model that represents the necessary entities.
- Establish a small set of test data.
- Add necessary object collections to enable efficient creation of the inventory lists and locating
books.
- Create objects and populate collections with the test data. Insertion speed of new books is not relevant.
- Establish a set of test cases that verifies the solution against the test data.

My approach would be somewhat backwards: start by identifying tasks / things you want to be able to do (e.g. register books, make inventory lists, find by ISBN, etc.) then look at what information you have that would be related to these activities, then identify ways to test whether a user is able complete a task. Only when that context has been established would I start trying to figure out how to organize the information around objects that would be used to complete a task.

Give that a shot and see what you can come up with then come back and ask detailed questions.
