Security Rule Engine

The engine will provide an interface to accept/reject any kind of [security] at a given date.

The engine will provide 3 rule implementations:

• Dividend Rule: reject [equity] that have dividend falling within a week, accept otherwise.
• Coupon Rule: reject [bond] that have coupon falling within a week, accept otherwise.
• Issuer Rule: Only accept security issued by a given [issuer].

Version

1.0.0

Implementation

• Program accepts type of security by user and validates it

Enter selection number: 1. Equity 2. Bond
2

• Program then accepts due date for dividend / coupon, validates it and checks whether due date is within the next 7 days of the current date. If yes, the security is rejected and the program terminates. This is the implementation of the dividend and coupon rule.

Enter next due date (YYYY-MM-DD) for coupon
2014-12-32
Invalid date, try again
2014-12-21
Security rejected.

• At this stage, the program accepts the issuer name and checks it against a set of accepted issuers. The security is accepted only if the issuer an accepted one. This is the implementation of the Issuer rule.

Enter Issuer Name
issuerTest
Security Accepted!

Technologies

The application is built using Java, JUnit and Eclipse IDE.

Future Scope

• Coupon / dividend generation
• Enhanced UI
