Some of the specifications: Posting the new Notices with Edit and Delete options. Click on the specific notice category to view all notices in it. Automatic display of Notices to the users with respect to the Expiry date.

Group coursework / Software system deliverables: Students have to apply any real-time software application from working environment and able to produce the following deliverables for this group work. The documents which might be produced are for large scale software development: A requirements definition and (partial) specification. An outline architectural design. A prototype of part of the system user interface. (There are no marks available for any login system.)

In these software development systems, students are expected to produce the following documentation: A fully developed requirements specification Use Cases, An outline architectural design. A detailed design specification. Class diagram, ERD, A test specification.
