CS-489 Phase 1 Analysis Report

The phase 1 analysis document should contain the following items:

1. Title page, including project name, team number, and names of team members.
2. Table of contents.
3. Project (phase 1 and phase 2) requirements:
   • Include any additions or clarifications elicited from the client.
   • Include any optional requirements that you plan to attempt.
   • Use a format similar to that of Chapter 5 in the textbook.
4. Use cases:
   • High-level use cases for project (phase 1 and phase 2) requirements.
   • Expanded essential use cases for phase 1 requirements.
   • Include use case diagrams in your Rose model and use case text in Microsoft Word.
5. Conceptual model:
   • Include concepts, attributes, and associations.
   • Document in one or more Rose class diagrams.
6. System behavior:
   • System sequence diagrams (Rose), with use case references or text.
   • Contracts for system operations (Word).
7. Glossary of terms:
   • Similar in concept to that described in Chapter 12 of the textbook, though you may use any reasonable format.
   • This glossary should be expanded and updated throughout the project.
8. Issue list:
   • A list of questions to be asked, decisions to be made, topics to be investigated, etc.
   • This list is to be maintained throughout the project; items should be marked "complete" when they are resolved, but not removed from the list.
9. Project management information (see process details):
   • Time spent on the project to date, by team member and phase. (It is likely that all the effort to date will be in the "planning" phase of phase 1 of the project; sorry about the duplicate meaning of "phase".)
   • Copies of the time tracking sheets (or other form of recording) of all team members.
