Iteration 5 should include the following at a minimum:
You should have a vertical prototype complete in this iteration. A vertical prototype implements one small slice of functionality using all key architectural technologies. A link to the vertical prototype should be posted on the course wiki. Because your vertical prototype environment may go away at some point, static screenshots should be posted on the team wiki (for posterity).
The architecture document should be complete. All technologies and components should be identified and described. The system organization and behavior should be clearly described to the degree that detailed designs could be generated. This document should be posted on the course wiki.
Ensure that your SRS and QA/Validation Plan are as complete as possible. Address customer concerns with your SRS.
Create a traceability matrix that maps SRS elements to Design artifacts and QA artifacts. You may choose the tool and format for your matrix. A simple table on your team wiki may be sufficient. Keep the matrix as concise and simple as possible. For example, use identifiers (e.g. UC-4) and keywords (e.g. Add Curve) rather than sentences.
You should prepare a twenty-minute formal presentation that sumarizes your requirements and architecture. Include a very brief description of the vison/scope and requirements. Spend most of the time presenting your horizontal and vertical prototypes and describing your architecture. Describe how your architecture satisfies the project's non-functional requirements (e.g. potential globalization, testability, supportability, security, performance, scalability). Include rationale for your decisions (i.e. be able to defend why you chose what you chose and give feedback on whether that was a good choice based on what you've learned so far in your vertical prototype). Every team member should participate in the presentation. This means the presentation should be well-rehearsed and transitions should flow quickly. Following your twenty-minute presentation there will be time for 5 to 8 minutes of question and answer. The presentations will be given in class on Friday, December 4. Practice presentations will be given in class on Monday, November 30.
