ICT3 Excel Project Documentation

As you develop your system in Excel you must document each of the system life cycle stages form your Analysis and Design to your Implementation/Testing and Evaluation.

The key to success in documentation is to include all headings (to be advised). Any omitted will significantly affect your final mark.
It is also important that your work is cross-referenced. This will help the reader to follow more easily how each of the sections within your project link together.
The current mark scheme for ICT3 projects is as follows:-
Specification 13 marks
Implementation 20 marks
Testing 12 marks
Evaluation 6 marks
User Documentation 9 marks
Total 60 marks
Specification (13 marks)
• A detailed requirements specification has been produced for the identified problem, which matches the needs of the stated end-user(s).
• The input, processing and output needs, which match the requirements specification, are clearly stated.
• Effective designs have been completed which would enable an independent third party implementation of the solution.
• An appropriate test strategy has been determined. An effective test and full testing plan has been devised.
• The testing plan includes the test data and expected outcomes and directly relates to the requirements specification.
The specification can be divided into two parts:- Analysis and Design
*Analysis*
The first section in your project is entitled ANALYSIS. In this section you will analyse the previous system, identify users while demonstrating a clear understanding of the workings and limitations of the...
