Academic
Misconduct
Academic Misconduct is a serious offence. Depending on the seriousness of the case, penalties can vary from a written warning or zero marks to exclusion from the course or rescinding the degree. Students should make themselves familiar with the full policy and procedure available at: http://www.mit.edu.au/aboutmit/institute-publications/policies-procedures-and-guidelines/Plagiarism-
Academic-Misconduct-Policy-Procedure. For further information, please refer to the Academic Integrity Section in your Unit Description.
Purpose of the assessment:
The purpose of this assignment is to produce and submit a consolidated FIRST VERSION of the Software Requirement Specification (SRS) Document and MS Access Prototype for your chosen project.
Form a team of exactly 5 people and write a Software Requirements Specification, based on a selected
project
Projects Selection:
Students can choose/select any website/application/system/software with enabled database component as a reference for their project from the following domains (industries) to investigate, analyse, and prototype:
o Education o Shopping o Library o Airline o Financial o Entertainment
Task:
Once students select their project, they need to do in-depth analysis for the project to complete Software Requirement Specification document and then develop MS Access prototype that relate to their selected project. Students need approval from lecture / tutor for their selected project.
Guidelines:
Follow the IEEE 830-1998 Recommended Practice for Software Requirements Specifications as your guide. I recommend reading the entire document before starting your project.
Another good source of guidelines for software requirements specifications is :
http://www.processimpact.com/articles/qualreqs.html
Format:
Your SRS document should follow the template of the IEEE standard.
Your Assignment 1 SRS document should include the following:
1. The SRS Document Version 1.0 (Templates and guideline are available on MOODLE):
a) Introduction
b) Purpose
c) Scope
d) Glossary
e) References
f) Document Overview
g) Product Description
h) Functional and non-functional requirements
i) Technical assumptions and constraints
j) Context Diagram, Use Case Diagram, Entity Relationship Diagram (First Version)
2. The Access prototype should include (Reference, week 01 LAB DB File and available on MOODLE):
a) The prototype will have a splash page at the start.
b) All the tables and attributes properly documented and structured.
c) Enough functionality to see the prototype working.
d) The corresponding reading and writing forms for the tables.
3. An up to date copy of the Project Activity Journal where you show the weekly working of the group.
Team submission:
This is a group assignment hence, only one member from a group will upload the ONE ZIP FILE on MOODLE.
Submission guidelines:
The report should have a consistent, professional, and well-organized appearance. Your report should include the following:
1. Cover page must identify students’ (name and number), teaching staff, and assignment.
2. The pages of the assignment must be clear on each page.
