8.01. Further their knowledge of developments in the
analysis, specification, design, development, maintenance and testing of
software and related documents, together with the management of the development
process.
With the involvement in the designing and implementation of
the website we have gone through the necessary life cycle in building a quality
product, from the requirement gathering phase to analysis of the requirements,
designing the website, implementation of it, testing and finally undertaking
the responsibility of its maintenance.
With the experience gained in requirement specification and
analysis stage, we have been able to further our knowledge in how to deal with
clients and to write a proper and a well-organized requirement specification
document. The analysis and understanding of the exact requirements of the
client made it possible to get real life experience of what was studied as
theory in the classes.
With the designing of the site, the team was able to enhance
knowledge on database structuring, use cases and activity diagrams and proper
planning of how an implementation is actually done.
The development phase was much supportive in further
strengthening the knowledge on programming and to learn new methodologies and
techniques that we had to use in order to fulfil the customer requirements. In
testing, several techniques were followed and learned theories were put into practice
through that phase.
Apart from the enhanced knowledge on programming, document
writing and requirement specification we have been able to learn how to manage
the development process of a software. The team members had to divide the
workload among themselves and manage the work with the limited time available
which was a critical task. With all that, as a team we have been able to
further enhance our knowledge in the software engineering industry through involvement
in the aforesaid project.
