Week 2 Milestone: Course Project Design Proposal

A good design can make the software development process flow smoothly. The Course Project Milestone for Week 2 is a design document. The level of detail in your design document should be enough that you could pass the document off to a classmate and he or she could build the web application you have in mind. The deliverable must includes at least the following.

Presentation Layer Design

• Wireframe diagrams or screen captures for
  • Log In/Account Creation page;
  • User Account Details page; and
  • User Account Confirmation page.

• List of control names, IDs, and types for each page (See Week 1 Lab Step B.2 for an example.)

• Identification of links and other navigation aids

Data Layer Design

• An entity-relationship diagram (ERD) or other document that identifies the tables and fields in the database. You should have tables for user account information, past applications, and any other tables you feel are necessary.

• Prototypes of methods (or behaviors) for accessing the database

Business Layer Design

• Validation rules for web form input fields

WHAT TO SUBMIT

• All design documents in a single zipped archive
