CS 146. Spring 2009. Writing Homework 4: Due April 15th, 11:59pm.

Submit using blackboard. Your file must be in PDF,  or MS-Word.

In this writing assignment you will provide a design report for your term project. Specifically, your project is the module that your team has been assigned (i.e., the Applications System, or Registration system or the Advising System).

The format of the report must be similar to the Senior Design report requirements (there is no page limit, but keep your descriptions concise but include relevant details). These materials are linked on the lecture notes webpages  links to Writing Senior Design Reports (Prof Burke's lecture and writing manual).

• Make sure you provide all the different sections -- starting with the abstract.
  
• Your report must provide the use case diagram.
• Your report must provide the specifications for your project -- for this, feel free to use the specifications and requirements that I posted for the project description BUT use your own words (cut and paste is not allowed). In addition, you should provide the technical system specifications to the best of your ability (don't just state -- "a  fast processor"!).
• Describe the implementation plan. You can use figures to show the design of your tables -- more technical SQL code can be included as an appendix.
  
• Provide descriptions on how you will carry out the testing.
• Since you are working in a team, you can talk about the design of the entire system even if you are responsible for only one component. Since the due date is after the Phase 2 demos, you should be able to write about the entire system.
• Try to put down a labor costs (how much time you spent on the project) and the tested matrix -- i.e., breakdown of time per module/task (including report).

Once this report is graded, you will revise it and resubmit it as Writing Assignment 5. In addition, since you will be working on integration and will be adding more features to your "product", these additional technical features must also be incorporated into your writing assignment 5.
