Week 12

In this week's content we will be looking at from client brief to software design through a realistic Level 3 IT context. You will be required to turn a client description for a device-loan tracker into testable requirements, pseudocode and a documented software design.

Steps to complete:
1. Classify sample requirements as functional, non-functional, constraint or acceptance criterion.
2. Read the Library Device Loan Tracker brief and highlight rules that must be implemented exactly.
3. Rewrite the brief as numbered, testable requirements and identify ambiguities to clarify.
4. Create data items, modular structure and pseudocode for borrowing eligibility and fees.
5. Exchange designs and respond to three client questions or change requests.
6. Write a 200-word rationale linking design choices to requirements.

By the end of the session you should have a testable requirements specification, pseudocode and a client-reviewed software design rationale.
