Small Project Development Case : Artifacts

Table of Contents

This section of the development case lists the artifacts that are part of the process, along with guidance on the tools used to create them, comments (which may include tailoring), and whether or not the artifact is a formal deliverable.

Formal deliverables are provided to the customer and must be approved by the customer. Other artifacts are project-internal.

Artifacts
Artifact Tools Used Comments Formal Deliverable?
Architectural Proof of Concept, Prototypes   Project risks will be addressed as early as possible using executable architectural prototypes. No
Design Model (and all constituent artifacts) Rational Rose The Design Model is expected to evolve over a series of brainstorming sessions. No separate Analysis Model is created. The Design Model will only be maintained as long as the developers find it useful.

No

 
Data Model Rational Rose   No
Software Architecture Document Rational Soda, Microsoft Word A description of the architecture will be captured which briefly describes the architecturally significant use cases (use-case view), identification of key mechanisms and design elements (logical view), plus definition of the process view and the deployment view. Yes

ImplementationTo top of page

Workflow

For details see the Implementation Overview. This project is small enough that no separate subsystem integration is performed (components are directly integrated into the overall system). High level integration planning is described in the project schedule. Detailed integration planning is done informally and as-needed.

Implementation Model (and all constituent artifacts, including Components and Builds)

<development tools - compiler, debugger etc.>,

Rational Rose, Rational Test Manager, Rational Test Factory, Rational Robot, Rational PureCoverage.

Rational Rose will be used to generate the initial component code. Unit Tests will be scripted using Rational Robot and organized into suites using Rational Test Manager. Scripts generated by Rational Test Factory will supplement hand-generated tests.

Rational PureCoverage will be used to help determine if component testing is adequate.

 Yes

Test Plan Microsoft Word   No
Test Script, Test Data

Rational QualityArchitect, Rational Test Factory, Rational Robot, Rational Quantify, Rational Purify,<database tool used by the application>

User Interface (UI) component test scripts and test data are created using Rational Robot and Rational Test Factory. Non-UI components test scripts and test data are created using Rational QualityArchitect.

 

 No
Test Suite, Test Log Rational Test Manager Rational Test Manager is used to create Test Suites and execute them to produce Test Logs and reports. No

Artifacts
Artifact Tools Used Comments Formal Deliverable?
Business Case Microsoft Word The business case is produced and approved by company management. It is not expected to be maintained. No
Software Development Plan (including Risk List, and Iteration Plan)

Microsoft Word,

Microsoft Project

 The schedule and resource information will be generated as reports out of Microsoft Project. No
Review Record Microsoft Word This is mandatory and deliverable only for customer reviews. Yes

Iteration Assessment, Status Assessment

 

 Microsoft Word, email

Status Assessment is be combined with the Iteration Assessment because the iterations are frequent (one or more each month).

The Project Manager will meet with each project team member on a weekly basis to determine progress, and help identify and resolve issues.

At the end of each iteration, the team will meet to discuss the project status and brainstorm improvements.  The intent is to capture lessons learned. This is followed by a review with the Project Reviewer.

 No

 

EnvironmentTo top of page

Workflow

The environment for this project is already set up. The process is assessed each iteration, and improvements are implemented accordingly.
