Development
This page of the website is the entry point for project developers. Since development has not yet begun, this page is at present a place holder.
Non-developers are free to browse this part of the project, but much of the content may not be of interest to non-technical stakeholders. The important point is that the project will be entirely open-source. Any interested party may view any and all aspects of project development as it proceeds.
The sample projects linked on the Examples page show a standard development organization. This organization, or one very much like it will be used for the development of this year's scheduler project:
- requirements -- user-level functional requirements for the project
- specification -- formal specification of the functional requirements
- prototype -- operational prototype, with limited functionality
- design -- architectural software design
- implementation -- implementation source and executables
- testing -- testing plans and results
- administration -- administrative and managerial information
- documentation -- audience-specific documentation, such as website content and end-user help documentation
