3. VPA Project Goals • Develop software application allowing VPA to: • 1. Maintain data on client companies, applicants & job openings • 2. Allow applicants Web access to apply for available positions • Allow practical application of project building: • 1. Rapid Application Development of a prototype • 2. Analysis & Design utilizing Unified Modeling Language and GUIDS • 3. Application Construction and Deployment • 4. Web Construction and Deployment

4. Phase One • Rapid Application Development (RAD) The rapid development of a functioning prototype. Based on initial requirements from the client. Development of basic Forms or Graphic User Interface design.

9. Benefits of RAD • Presented to Virtual Placement Agency This preliminary presentation of the application displays the functionality of application for approval by the client. This allows for modification of application. Changes can be made to the application before costly development has taken place.

10. Phase Two

11. Definitions from Deborah Kurata Goal-centered design Goal-centered design defines the objects and the scenarios outlining how the objects work together to meet the requirements previously specified in the requirements prerequisite. User Interface design User-interface design examines how the user will view and communicate with the application. The project team uses the requirements and information collected during the Goal-centered design to design a user interface that meets the goals of the business and the user. Implementation-centered design Implementation-centered design defines the system architecture and internal framework of the application and the components and classes that are the building blocks of the application. The classes are defined from the objects identified in the Goal-centered design. The properties and methods for these classes are detailed. Key procedures, business logic, and algorithms are also defined in this step. This design is documented in a design document. Data design Data design involves reviewing the data associated with each class and defining how that data will be stored. Depending on the requirements of the application, data can be stored in a file, database, internal memory, or the Registry. Strategies for Construction Strategies for construction define the approach that will be taken during the implementation (coding). These strategies include the following: qBuy versus build qConventions and standards qConfiguration management/source code control qInspection and testing procedures qImplementation planning and scheduling GUIDS
