1. PROJECT QUALITY STANDARDS

The quality standards listed in Table 2 shall be applied for the EduStream project.

[Instructions on what to include in the following table: Use this section to build up your understanding of key standards that you will need to apply when you are working in the industry.Therefore, it is recommended that you put some rigour into completing this.

Key sections of the table should cover:

• Project management/procedural standards. Begin by looking at the standards that would be applied to manage the project formally. As an initial hint - we have been talking about the most important of these throughout the semester. Next, make sure that you include the various general quality standards that will be applicable (e.g. ISO 9000 and the others discussed in the Topic 6 lecture).
• Product/System Standards. There is a wide range of system standards with which we are going to have to conform.The easy starting point for defining these is to look at the technical architecture overview information and then investigate key standards that will be appropriate for each system element, application and interface (e.g. standards for RTSP, TCP-IP, ODBC, etc.). This can be done through the web sites discussed during the Topic 6 lecture/workshop and doing some additional internet research.
• Operating Systems.In parallel with your investigation of the preceding standards, make sure that you take into account the various operating systems for which we will need compatibility in the Client software.These include:
• PCs (Windows 7 to Windows 10);
• Apple computers/phones/tablets going back to 2009 (e.g. builds from Snow Leopard (10.6) to Big Sur (11.0), tvOS9 to tvOS13, Apple TV 3.0 (Tiger) to 7.0, iPhone OS3 to iOS 13, iPadOS 13, etc.;
• Android 2.0-clair to 10.0-Q (API 29) (and ensure that it will conform with Android 11 when it is released); and
• Smart TV operating systems, which include those listed in the following web site(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_smart_TV_platforms_and_middleware_software).
• Laws and Regulations.Think about key laws and regulations.For this project, these would include the following: Broadcasting Services Act 1992 (Cth), Classification (Publications, Films and Computer Games) Act 1995, Commonwealth Classification (Publication, Films and Computer Games) Act 1995, Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), Flemington Childcare Co-operative Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Policy, Copyright Act 1968 (Cth), Copyright Amendment Act 2006 (Cth), Education and Care Services National Law Act 2010, Education and Care Services National Regulations 2011, Freedom of Information Act 1982, National Quality Standard -Quality Area 7, Leadership and Service Management - Standard 7.3, Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), Spam Act 2003 (Cth), and Trade Marks Act 1995 (Cth). When investigating these types of laws/regulations, you may also replace the Australian laws with similar pertinent legislation in your country and list those within the following table instead.

HOW MANY EXAMPLES DO YOU NEED TO INCLUDE IN THE TABLE?

At minimum you must include five separate pertinent standards/laws/regulations for each of the four categories. For the product/system standards make sure that you draw from a range of sources, such as ISO, AS/NZ, W3C, etc. If you include just five pertinent standards for each of the four categories, you will receive a maximum score of about 60% for this section of the QMP. Higher scores will be allocated if more examples are provided and the analysis is more rigorous.

As you investigate the standards applicable in the four categories, you need to include the appropriate information in the columns ofTable 3. Insert the information as follows:

• Standards to be Applied. In the left-hand column insert the standards/laws/regulations that are applicable. When entering these, ensure that:
• you include the standard number where one is available and the title of the standard (as discussed in the Topic 6 lecture/workshop), or
• the entire title for laws and other general standards that do not have a standard number; and
• a web address for the site that contains the information on that standard.
• Equipment/Systems/Methods/etc. to which the Standards are applicable. In the right-hand column list every key element of the systems or processes to which that standard/law/regulation would be applicable. Keep these short, but make sure that it is clear from your description where that particular standard would be applicable (e.g. the Privacy Act would be applicable to the Client Database, including all personal information collected and managed). Alternately, where the standard is broadly applicable you can make a more general statement (e.g. for the ISO9001 standard, you would state something like: 'All pertinent Quality Management processes applied within this project').

1. It is recommended that youstart working on this as soon as possible after completing the Topic Week 6 lecture/workshop, and finalise this after a few weeks, by merging the information that has been identified. When doing this merge, make sure that you don't double up entries, and rationalise the content so you create a single coherent listing.]
