[Year 12 SofDev] SRS needed

[Kevork Krozian]

Hi Maggie,

 Here is the original definition/standard of the SRS attached.

Quoting from p 40 of the assessment handbook (SAC31) :
The study design states that a software requirements specification (SRS) is required. Teachers should consider the main aim of this outcome to be the production of an SRS. In preparation for the instruction of students, teachers should familiarise themselves with the format of a typical SRS but also note that what is required in this outcome is a brief subset of what would be produced in professional practice. A common component of an SRS is a use case diagram. Use case diagrams are one of the tools within Unified Modelling Language (UML). Again, teachers should familiarise themselves with UML in general, with an understanding that the majority of the tools within UML are not listed in the VCE Software Development study. The tools and techniques that are used to analyse the data flows within the existing system are necessary to inform the SRS, and should be included within it.

Quoting from the study design glossary:
SRS -
A comprehensive description of the intended purpose and
environment for purpose-designed software solutions. It documents
the key tasks associated with the analysing stage of the problem solving
methodology. The software requirements specifications
(SRS) fully describes the functional requirements (what it is required
to do) and non-functional requirements of the solution (solution
attributes) such as user-friendliness, response rates, robustness,
portability, reliability and maintainability, the conditions affecting
the solution (constraints) and the parameters of the solution
(scope). Software requirements specifications fulfils the purposes of
breaking down the problem into component parts, providing input
to the designing stage and serving as a reference point for further
stages of the problem-solving methodology.


SAC31 – Key skills
. write an SRS to document the requirements, constraints and scope.

This will take some serious sieving to get sorted.

Conference presenters: Please will at least one of you produce an SRS as an example for the rest of us?

OR -- would some brave soul upload one to this list so we can examine it and learn more.

Perhaps there is one already on Mark's website?
