Assignment Information: Pass
Produce both a requirements specification and a design for the new or updated system that meets identified client requirements.
The requirements specification must relate to the scenario you have been given.
The requirements specification must cover the topics listed in the unit content.
Produce a design based on the scenario, developing the outlines provided in the requirements specification for the inputs, outputs and processes.
Select a single systems analysis methodology and use this to create the design for the system.
Obtain feedback on their design. Use this feedback to improve their design and explain how useful the feedback was in assisting them to refine the design.
Assignment Information: Merit
Justify decisions made in the requirements specification and the design.
The justification will relate to overall decisions such as which systems analysis methodology to use as well as more detailed design decisions such as how you divided up the processing steps and how you chose particular data tables and the relationships between them.
Clearly relate your decisions back to the scenario organisation’s requirements, showing how these decisions helped ensure the appropriateness of the requirements specification and the design.
Assignment Information: Distinction
Provide a thorough evaluation of the effectiveness of the requirements specification and design against the client requirements, supported by evidence from all stages of the development.
Evaluate how the decisions and processes applied throughout the investigation and development of the requirements specification and the design impacted on the effectiveness of the system design.
Review the process to reach valid conclusions as to how the chosen systems analysis techniques provided a more accurate and usable design in comparison to alternatives.
Refer to tangible evidence to support you evaluation such as meeting notes, correspondence and time plans.
Provide well-considered, justifiable suggestions for future improvements to the design. Your evidence should be detailed and well-presented and clearly show how you design meets the client requirements
