Project-CriterionB

=Criterion B: Analysis=

The student must ensure that the proposed IT solution addresses the inadequacies identified in criterion A. The analysis form must be used. The analysis must consist of the following two parts, which must be submitted as a single document.


 * A completed requirements specification using the first section of the form
 * Justification for the proposed solution, as extended writing using the second section of the form

Requirements specification
The following information must be included.


 * System interaction
 * Input and output requirements
 * Processing
 * Security
 * Specific performance criteria that are evaluated in criterion F to determine the effectiveness of the solution

Justification of proposed solution
The rationale behind the choice of the proposed solution must be in extended writing justifying how the choice of this particular product is the most effective IT solution to the problem identified in criterion A. It is expected that this is based largely on the information within the requirements specification.

Other information that can be included in the justification for the proposed IT solution may refer to:


 * whether the student has the IT skills and access to the software required to develop the IT solution
 * whether the client’s hardware and software is compatible with the IT solution
 * the level of training necessary for the client to use and maintain the proposed IT solution
 * to what extent the input and output requirements of the client are met by the IT solution
 * whether the data required for the IT solution can be obtained by either the client or the student
 * how any security implications for the development and operation of the IT solution can be resolved.
