Application Development Methodology

Activity A4.6

Check design completeness:

¤ Prepare and check record type by procedure matrix

Draw the record/procedure matrix and carry out the checks stipulated. Modify lists of record types and procedures to include additional entries required to correct missing actions in the matrix.

» Updates deliverable D4.13.1 Record/Procedure Matrix.

¤ Prepare and check linkage by procedure matrix

Draw the linkage/procedure matrix and update the lists of linkages and procedures accordingly.

» Creates deliverable D4.13.2 Linkage/Procedure Matrix.

¤ Prepare and check field by procedure matrix

This step is optional and may not be justifiable if no automatic facilities exist to prepare all the matrices from the information library.

» Creates deliverable D4.13.3 Field/Procedure Matrix.

¤ Draw the field/procedure matrix and update the lists of fields and procedures.

For each record type, produce and verify the field by procedure matrices. This is a complex task, because the problems in any one matrix can affect all the other matrices. The task is not finished until all matrices have been completed and have been shown to be correct.

ð Updates deliverable D4.13.3 Field/Procedure Matrix.

¤ Prepare completeness quality report

Following each matrix check, include any unresolved problems or weaknesses with appropriate comments.

» Creates deliverable D4.14.1 Completeness Quality Report.

¤ Carry out comparison with current systems

Compare the design with the documentation of current systems to determine if there are any elements (e.g., procedures, files, fields, etc.) not represented in the design. If you detect any omissions, update the lists of elements and make additional entries in the completeness quality report.

¤ Review for completeness

Any modifications to the model may have created inconsistencies elsewhere in the model. Quality assurance must now judge whether it is necessary to repeat any or all of the completeness checking and according to what criteria.
