Analysis and Design Document and Peer Review

Complete the analysis and design portion of the Course Project. See the Course Project page in the Introduction & Resources area under Modules for more information.

On mission-critical software projects, a great deal of quality control takes place. One effective and common technique is to employ a variety of reviews on the work being performed. Now that you have completed your analysis and design work for the course project, your documentation can be reviewed and evaluated by your peers. Don't worry; this is not meant to be threatening or harshly judgmental. It is merely a technique for improving the quality of the product by getting more perspectives.

Each project team must upload their analysis and design document.

Each student must review the documents written by the other teams and provide feedback on them. Do you like something they did? Did you see a problem that they overlooked? Can you think of any scenarios that they might not have considered?

Once you have received feedback from your classmates, read each of their comments and consider how you might improve your work as a result of the feedback you received. When you present your project at the end, we want to hear how the feedback shaped the final product.
