and keep carefully detailed notes of all your sources of materials for material you have used in your work,
including any material downloaded from the Internet. Please consult the relevant unit lecturer or your course
tutor if you need any further advice.

 Unit Learning Outcomes

LO1: Produce a Software Design Document by analyzing a business-related problem and deduce an
appropriate solution including a set of initial requirements.
LO2: Use design and development methodologies with tools and techniques associated with the
creation of a business application.
LO3: Work individually and as part of a team to plan and produce a functional business application
with support documentation.
LO4: Evaluate the performance of a business application against its Software Design Document and
initial requirements

Assignment Brief and Guidance

As a start-up company, you are approached by a client called HealthInvesto to design and develop a hybrid
application to meet the following requirements.

The client wants to build a SaaS (Software as a Service) application to serve the local private hospitals where
the hospitals can list the specialists and manage them under their particular hospital.

On the other hand, a general public who requires the consultation of a medical practitioner wants to use a
mobile application to search a particular doctor / consultant based on the hospital and or specialization and or
date of consultation.

Considerations
• They require a cloud-based solution so that data can be shared across multiple deployment environment
(Web, Mobile & Etc)
• The client is more favourable towards a hybrid application as the budget is limited where the single
code based can be utilized for cross platform deployment.
• As a company you are expected to practice agile methodology to realize the solution.
• You're also expected to complete the project in 3 sprints (where each sprint is of 2 weeks). Thus, you
are expected to familiarize with the agile methodology and plan accordingly
• You're expected to identify at least 3 functional requirements in the web based application and at least
2 functional requirements in mobile app.
• You're allowed to make reasonable assumptions considering the best interest of the end users.
• Your planning should reflect almost equal responsibilities to each of your team members (for group
only).
• You are required to refer the existing samples and select tools and technologies appropriate to realize
the clients’ requirements.
Assignment Brief and Guidance
Part 1
Do an analysis of the scenario given with the real-world context to fill in gaps, use any form of data gathering techniques
that you have acquired from Unit 09 (SDLC), once the analysis is complete use the Software Specification Report to
produce a full detailed requirement specification, you may attach the samples of analysis data as evidence to the
appendix. Risk analysis should be included in the System Features (Functional Requirements) of your SRS

Part 2
Write a report researching into the relevant technologies, software tools, IDEs, programming methodologies and
development methodologies that are relevant to this application, you must compare these finding with other similar
technologies, software tools and methodologies. These must be compared and justified (you must continue with your
selected methodologies, tools and software in the next parts, therefore select carefully)

Part 3
You must prepare a presentation to pitch (present) your idea to others and the lecturer, your product idea will be rated
according to the peer evaluation sheet provided with this assessment. An individual report must be also submitted along
with this document describing the contributions done by you

Part 4
Develop application individually based on the original Software Specification from Part 1, comments, important
algorithms should be extracted as code snippets and explained

Part 5
You must submit your developed application which you will develop based on the selected methodology, tools and
techniques identified in part 2, and according to the specifications analyzed in part 1, provide the relevant user
manuals etc.

Part 6
Critically review and produce a quality assurance report for the application that you have developed with key areas
that focus on how your application has addressed the relevant user requirements, include any development pitfalls
and other issues that were encountered
