Fundamentals
of
Technical Design
A Four Day Instructor Led Course
Course Synopsis
What is it that Systems Analysts and Programmer/Analysts really do?
They routinely create complex technical solutions to meet a business need that has been expressed through a Business Requirements document. This process is frequently called Systems Analysis, or Specification Writing. It is followed in the software development life cycle by the Programming, Testing, User Acceptance Testing, and Implementation phases.
This course addresses the key steps in preparing a written technical specification suitable for development activities. Our focus is on mid-size projects, however, we address both large scale endeavors and smaller projects as well.
Our goal is to provide a comprehensive course for Systems Analysts and Programmer/Analysts which can also serve as reference material. The information presented in this course us essential to organizing and performing systems analysis and specification writing while performing development life cycle activities.Seminar Objectives
To improve the content and completeness of the following technical life cycle deliverables which are produced, or significantly modified by, the development staff:
Medium Design Document (Medium-sized Projects)
Documentation and Training Plan
Conversion and Implementation Plan
Quality Assurance and Testing Plan
Business Solution Design (Large-sized Projects)
Technical Design (Large projects)
Small Project Packets
This training course will help students understand the content of these deliverables and how to prepare appropriate design content. The result will be more complete and consistent technical design deliverables. To complete this objective, the course will:-- Improve the level of knowledge and consistency of approach for developers assigned to projects.
-- Expand the developer’s awareness and skills regarding techniques which can facilitate a more complete and accurate Technical Design.-- Gain experience through an extensive case study which permits application of techniques and writing specifications during the course.
-- Improve the traceability of Requirements through the Business Solution Design (BSD) and the Technical Design phases thus improving user satisfaction and increasing the effectiveness of developers by reducing re-work and testing.
Course Contents
During the course of this four day seminar each attendee will understand the specification process
required to develop a design document suitable for programming, testing, and deployment.
Through lecture, exercises and hands-on experience the attendees will learn:
