Project Environment:
The system developed is intended to help all regional secretary’s store county pool players personal records and information regarding games played. To produce both monthly league tables and ranking tables per region.
Objectives:
The main object of this project is to produce a County Pool Database System (CPDS). The system will replace the paper based system and spreadsheets – for tables, used at present. The new system should give the regional secretary’s a more accurate and efficient system.
Product Aims:
The aim is to maintain a unified database for each region that can easily be sent and used by the English Pool Association (EPA), who produces national statistics from each regions figures.
A structured methodology will be adopted to help produce the project document through the various stages systems development covering analysis, design and implementation. The appropriate Computer Aided Software Engineering tools and techniques will be used to convey the proposed model.
Analysis Stage: A full systems investigation will take place to determine what the system requirements are. A proposed model will be formulated, agreed and documented.
Design Stage: Determine how the system requirements (analysis) are to be met and achieved. Produce a design specification to provide the information necessary to build the system.
Implementation Stage: Determine the system functions to be implemented in the time scale remaining. Build the relevant systems functions by coding the tables, forms, queries & reports. Test individual components and the complete system by following a test plan. Produce and document relevant test plans and results.
Maintenance Stage: Produce the maintenance documentation which covers User Guides, Operation strategy for changeover from old to new, maintenance (fine tuning/bug fixing/upgrade) and Future enhancements.
Academic Aim:
To utilise the skills and knowledge gained in HND Computing (IT) modules, in particular, Applications in IT, Systems Analysis & Design and Database Development.
Research and adopt a Systems Methodology for project development.
Resources & Constraints
The choice of hardware & software will be restricted to that available in the School of Computing.
Conform to the University of Teesside’s standards for coding & documentation.
Schedule:
It is intended that all stages of the project will be completed within the time scales of 26 weeks. The approximate schedule is – Analysis (6 weeks), Design (7 weeks), Implementation (10 weeks), and Documentation to be completed over a 26-week period.
