Chapter 2.1, Problem 14E

(Data processing) a. A national medical testing laboratory wants a new computer system to analyze its test results. The system must be capable of processing each day’s results as well as retrieving and outputting a printed report of all results meeting certain criteria, such as all results for a particular doctor or for hospitals in a certain state. Determine three or four major program units into which this system could be separated. (Hint: One possible program unit is “Prepare Daily Results” to create each day’s reports.)

b. Suppose someone enters incorrect data for a test result, and the error is discovered after the system has entered and stored the data. What program unit is needed to correct this problem? Discuss why such a program unit might or might not be required by most systems.

c. A program unit has been developed that allows users to change data that has been entered and stored incorrectly. Discuss the need for including an “audit trail” that would allow reconstructing the changes later as well as when they were made and who made them.

What are the steps you will follow in order to check the database and fix any problems with it? Have in mind that you SHOULD normalize it as well. Consider that the database offline is not allowed since people are connected to it and personal data might be bridged and not secured. Provide three refernces with you answer.
Should software manufacturers should be tolerant of the practice of software piracy in third-world countries to allow these countries an opportunity to move more quickly into the information age? Why or why not?
