...DOCUMENT TEMPLATES FOR STUDENT PROJECTS IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING Declan Delaney and Stephen Brown Department of Computer Science, National University of Ireland, Maynooth Date: August 2002 Technical Report: NUIM-CS-TR2002-05 Abstract This technical report outlines the contents of a minimal set of software development documents, tailored for use by students in software engineering projects, and firmly based on IEEE standards. The document set is designed to support software development activities. It provides a framework for use in undergraduate software engineering projects, both individual and team-based, that helps students to learn best practice. A supplementary report describes the content of each document in more detail. 1. Background. Projects form an important part of the education of software engineers. They form an active method of teaching, as defined by Piaget, leading to a "training in self-discipline and voluntary effort" [1], which is important to software engineering professionals. Two purposes served by these projects are: education in professional practice, and outcomes-based assessment, as identified in the ACM/IEEE Computing Curricula 2001 [2]. An infrastructure must be provided whereby the students are well guided in their learning, yet have an opportunity to display their individual achievements for the purposes of assessment. This corresponds to the ‘ integrational’ and ‘ differential’ modes of education as described by Cook in ...

...China. The COO of Riordan Manufacturing, Hugh McCauley has initiated a service request. This request is labeled SR-rm-022. The purpose of this request is to integrate a variety of the human resource tools into a single application. This document is to addresses the planning and analysis phase of a service request. The request is to encompass all plant locations. Design methods will be established to meet this request, requirements will be collected, the project scope and feasibility will be recognized, the stakeholders will be identified, and key factors to guarantee success in gathering information will be clarified. Project Scope The project scope is for a new system for the human resource department. The new human resource systems purpose is to take advantage of the more sophisticated, state of the art, information systems technology. It is extremely important that the scope be identified during initiation of the project as it guides the feasibility study and requirements. The boundaries of the project are identified by the scope of a project. The following must be identified while defining the scope: • Project...

...revenues reaching over the amount of one-billion dollars. It is highly important to use methods of integrating new systems into Riordan Manufacturing. The method of System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a great way to understand the problem, analyze the problem, design the solution, and implement the project. Riordan Manufacturing must revamp its out of date Information Systems, not only in the Human Resource section but in all other sections as well, in order to meet current industry standards, increase efficiency, lower overhead, increase worker productivity and many other factors which will add tremendous value to the company. These values are both tangible and intangible values that cannot be measured by a dollar value alone. This update is in accordance to Service Request SR-rm-022. The most efficient way to update the Human Resource Department would have to include hardware and software that is compatible in the companies’ various locations. Focus will be set on the Human Resource section but all departments will be effected by the new system since the current information systems are, (University of Phoenix, 2013), antiquated and there are severe deficiencies throughout the present Information Systems.

De Jesus RLKJJ Premium Software Providers Prepared on: PROJECT PROPOSAL INTRODUCTION Today, computer technology is at a very fast phase. Many business sectors are becoming more and more competitive by trying to make them exposed to such by upgrading their own computer systems. The use of software has become a very important aspect for a company. It changed, though not totally, the manual ways of managing their company data. It made a huge impact, especially in a company’s accounting department. The use of software has made accurate computations on the monthly payroll. It offered an easy way of putting input in the database by having all the data needed like the employees’ names, working hours, and wages. It is easy to use, effective, and efficient in organizing and computing the company’s payroll. The proposed Payroll Management System aims to be of a great help to a company’s management.

Executive Summary The process for creating and publishing software documentation at Oracle is lengthy and involves several roles and departments. The software documentation departments and the number of products they are responsible for have grown tremendously over the years due to acquisitions. However, the documentation process and its tools have not scaled well. There is no overall set of tools for the entire process. Email is the primary communication method, and is the basis for routing work from one step and role to the next. These steps are not automated, and the steps which are automated use out of date, non-integrated tools. The process is overdue for a comprehensive analysis and redesign...
