TURN-IN: 2 copies of your document should be turned in. One copy will be graded and the other will be given to your design team.

GOAL:

The purpose of this assignment is to prepare a Software Requirements Specification. The document should present the requirements and a system model for the educational game you are developing.

DESCRIPTION:

Write a Software Requirements Specification including the following information:

• Introduction
• Project Overview/ Problem Statement
• Document Overview

• System Model
• Choose a model that is most appropriate for the educational game you are developing;  your most likely options are Data Flow Diagrams, an Object Model, or State Machine diagrams.  (Be sure that the model you choose is consistent with the analysis method you have chosen)
• Provide a clean, electronic drawing of your model
• Include explanatory text as needed

• Functional Requirements
• Be sure to state your requirements clearly.
• Include a numbering scheme that will allow traceability.
• You may provide a brief design rationale for any requirement which you feel requires explanation for how and/or why the requirement was derived.
• Non-functional Requirements
• Be sure to state your requirements clearly.
• Include a numbering scheme that will allow traceability.
• You may provide a brief design rationale for any requirement which you feel requires explanation for how and/or why the requirement was derived.
• Also, remember to include system, performance, and usability requirements in this section.
• Validation Criteria
• Requirements Validation: How do you know that you have the right requirements? What steps did you take to make sure that you had enough information? What steps did you take to make sure that you had correct information?
• Testing Plan Overview: How will you make sure that your system is developed according to the requirements stated? How will you make sure that your requirements are validated and verified throughout the development process?  You do not need to go into specific testing plan strategies (i.e. white box, black box, etc.).
• Appendix
• Methodology Analysis: What analysis methodology did you chose and why?
• Elicitation Techniques: What elicitation techniques did you use? What information were you seeking from each technique? Also, include in this section any sample surveys, interview questions, etc. that you used.
• Sources & Bibliography
