Thanks, Claudia. Congratulations on your elevation to VCAA!<br><br>In my practice task, I was following the style of the detailed example in the study design, which had the distinct aroma of a case-study. <br><br>In that, it was interesting to note how simple the programming requirements were.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">One of the things I’ve noticed in this outcome that’s different from past study designs is students must create a solution to an SRS presented to them, i.e.
the analysis is provided. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Even though this is written in the Area of Study intro I believe that it is as directional as the actual outcome statement.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">So in fact you don’t really need a case study but should have something written in the form of – scope, functional, non-functional requirements and constraints.
Now of course for a ‘small information problem’ that may appear a lot of work, but I suppose it models good SRS practice for students.</span></p>
