ITGS Project - Criterion E
Criterion E: Product development
The product is created using the information submitted in the requirements specification (criterion B), project schedule (criterion C) and the product design (criterion D).
The student must present a list of the techniques used in the product at the start of this criterion.
A complex product is defined as one that includes at least three appropriate advanced techniques.
A simple product cannot be awarded more than 4 marks for criterion E.
The information in the documentation linked to the development of the product must provide a detailed account, using extended writing, to justify the following.
• The structure of the product and why it is appropriate
• The techniques used, including screenshots, in the development of the product, and reasons why they are appropriate to it. You must describe the three advanced techniques that you used in the creation of the product and provide screenshots showing the work you performed accompanied by a written description. Your choice of techniques MUST BE JUSTIFIED, why was this technique the most appropriate in this situation?
• Additional technical information, if appropriate, that will support the functionality of the product, such as web hosting or security information
Any reference material such as templates, program code, applets or other materials that have been used or
modified must be acknowledged. Failure to do so will be considered a significant omission.
Acknowledge the resources you used!
