COMP107 Seminars

Introducing assignment 4.

Activities

  • Identification of Application areas and users groups
  • Analysis of existing documentation of application areas
  • Analysis of current operating environments and the planned use of the information
    • Information flow
    • Types of transactions
  • Responses to user questionnaires are analysed.

As a result you should start form a place of a poorly structured set of requirements. You should use a technique to move to a more structured document.

Glossary

One way to rewrite the specification is to construct a glossary of terms. This will provide:

Term Definition Synonyms
     

Purpose of Assignment 2

The purpose of Assignment 2 is to analyse the data present in Assignment 1 to create the structure of a database.

  • You should work in groups to complete the data model.
  • You will proceed by view aggregation, producing one ER model (or EER if appropriate) conceptualising the view for each of at least 3 user categories you have identified.
    • Aim at creating 4 to 5 user stories for each user.
    • You will then design the relations tables which map the ER model.

Deliverable.

You will produce a PDF document with your report.
