COSC 565/475: Software Engineering I
Report #2: SYSTEM DESIGN,
SPECIFICATION & DESIGN
This document is also known as Requirements Analysis Document (RAD)
The report must contain the following sections:
1. Cover Page and Individual Contributions Breakdown.
2. Table of Contents
3. Summary of Changes
Provide an itemized list of key revisions (e.g., interaction diagrams,
class and package diagrams).
4. Customer Statement of Requirements (as in Report 1, revised if required
)
5. Glossary of Terms (as in Report 1, revised if required )
6. Functional Requirements Specification (as in Report 1, revised if required
)
Elaborate only the use cases that will be implemented by the time of the
final demo.
System Sequence Diagrams to incorporate the use cases that will be completed
for the final demo.
7. Nonfunctional Requirements (as in Report 1,revised if required )
8. Domain Analysis (as in Report 1, revised if required )
9. Interaction Diagrams
Your interaction diagrams must include some of the Design Patterns that
we covered in the lectures
Explain and justify the patterns that you use in your new design. State
explicitly in what sense the use of the specific design pattern in the
particular interaction diagrams improves the design.
10. Class Diagram and Interface Specification (as in Report 1, revised
if required )
11. System Architecture and System Design
12. Algorithms and Data Structures
a. Algorithms
Describe the system use algorithms used. For example, when computing a motion trajectory for an animate figure in a game, you may use some numerical or computer-graphics algorithms. You can use activity diagrams to describe the algorithm design.
b . Data Structures
Describe the data structures, such as arrays, linked lists, trees, etc.
13. User Interface Design and Implementation
14. Conclusions and Future Work (minimum 2 pages)
Describe the technical challenges you encountered during your project.
Describe how the software engineering techniques you learned in this course
will help you in addressing these challanges
Describe what other knowledge you feel might have helped you with the
project development
Discuss future work for your project and if somebody was to improve on
your project, what directions and things to look for
15. References
The list of references should contain references and URLs of any material
that is used in the project. Most importatnly if you are using an existing
system or concept from any web resource, you must mention this in the
starting of the report and also site the reference.
