Sample Design Documents

NOTE: These previous design documents did not have a section entitled "Architecture rationale". This is a new wrinkle in 3302 this quarter. Unlike previous quarters, there is no requirement to reproduce the project description in this document.

• Spiderman
  Overall good document. Clear architecture (though it could probably be contained in a smaller space and still be legible).
• Frozen Foto Gallery
  Good high-level architecture, reasonable design specification, though a bit low on detail.
• Scooby2beDue
  Very detailed design specification and thorough architecture specification.
• Jestre
  Excellent example of following a development method (in this case, the Coad/Nicola technique from CS 2390).
• ChoZen
  Architecture could be improved by including all of ZenPad, but they do handle the pieces specific to the Preference Manager. All else is very good.
• CyberTalk
  Excellent rationale. The architecture is almost perfect, but it is a bit confusing because they limited the dynamic description and the design specification is a little hard to understand because it is slightly unorthodox.

• Wok's Up...
  Architecture is sloppily described, especially the dynamic part.
• CyberFridge
  didn't have enough description of client-side architecture (Terminal Browser). Didn't show how link with existing database of information (FoxPro) fits into the picture. Architecture rationale looks OK.
