Design Reading Assignment

 

Team Leader:  Scope the Quality Assessment work

All teams are REQUIRED (for the grade points) to apply the "Design Inspection" preparation techniques, presented in class on 2/28, to inspect Sections 3.3 and 3.4 of your teams SSAD.  This should be an “OORT style Inspection" with the preparation using the reading techniques taught on 2/28, AND all team members should participate!

Inspection operational guidance:  All team members participate:  Project Manager should decide which techniques make sense to use on your project.  Make sure to record why you chose or did not choose each technique in the Technique Choice Rationale form.  The chosen techniques should be divided up among the team such that each team member applies at least two of those techniques, one from the Vertical and one from the Horizontal set, during individual preparation.  If you have a four/five person team, all should participate (exceptions permitted WITH APPROVAL only; there will be an alternate individual assignment in this case).  If you do have all team members participating, it is suggested that two members act as testers: each should go through the entire document, but their "official" responsibility should be split.  This split should make explicitly by the moderator, and documented on the announcement in "OORT design inspection formsv1".

As in any Fagan's Inspection, the Moderator is responsible for filling out the Inspection Report forms. 

The team leader, working with the LCP author, should see that the "Quality Management" section of the LCP for Inception and Elaboration is updated to reflect the use of the Design Reading technique in the LCP.

 

The “DesignReadingAssigment.zip” package contains all the related documents and forms.

 

0.  Do the technical work of updating the document, information gathering and modeling. 

1.  Write the sections of the SSAD document called for in the SSAD[DR=OORT]_LCA_ECv0.doc Exit Criteria file.

The exit criterion in the file SSAD[DR=OORT]_LCA_ECv0.doc are to be followed as presented.

The document should be BOTH

· Spell checked:  Style/Format/Language: English (United States) and

· Grammar checked: "Technical" Writing style.

BEFORE the quality assessment activity is under taken.  If an inspection is being performed, the Moderator should check this during the planning meeting.

3.  Perform the Quality Assessment Activity:
Inspection of RLCA-SSAD using the OORT Reading Techniques where applicable [all of §3.3 and §3.4].

3.a. Inspect the document, or parts there of, using the process taught in class and documented in the class notes EC-14, EP-01, EP-02, EP-03, EP-04, EP-05, EP-06 and EP-07.

3.b.  Submit (in paper form):

· The background questionnaire, "BackgroundQuestionnaireV1.xls", is to be provided (one per "inspector").

· The relevant Document as inspected (BEFORE changes are made; one copy only)

· The Exit Criteria that relate to the document/sections being inspected.  This should be "SSAD[DR=OORT]_LCA_ECv0.doc" for all teams.

· ALL inspection forms:  "OORT_design_inspection_formsv1.xls" – a spreadsheet with

Pairs of worksheets:  Content & Field Descriptions

- Announcement

- Consent Form (one per "inspector")

- Individual Preparation Log (one per "inspector")

- Issue Log – Horizontal Reading Technique (at least one per "inspector")

- Issue Log – Vertical Reading Technique (at least one per "inspector")

- Defect List Cover page

- Defect List [continuation pages]

- Detailed Report

- Inspection Summary Report

- Technique Choice Rationale

· COQUALMO Form "FormSPD-8.doc" (also submit on line, if possible).  Instructions for the form available in "TableSPD-8.doc". 

· The final experiment questionnaire, "FinalQuestionnaireV1.doc", should be completed by each participant in the reading experiment.

 

· Submit only the changes such as modified Operations Model, Classification Model, etc., done in your SSAD document after the Design Reading Assignment due to March 19th, 2001.

 

The printed COQUALMO form is "FormSPD-8.doc" and its instructions or in "TableSPD-8.doc".  Both are from "Cost Estimation with COCOMO II".  COQUALMO is described in Chapter 5.5.
