What Project 2 is all about


Project 2 is your major project, forming 30% of your final grade.

The scenario: A local business or organisation has asked you to examine their system with a view to designing a new computerised system.

You need to find out how they keep records of customers/members and stocks at the moment (assume initially that they don't use a computer).

You must show that you have tested your system properly.

You will then design a database system to keep records for them.

It is most important that the system is fully documented with a detailed user guide.

Finally you will evaluate your system, describing its strengths and weaknesses, and suggesting where it could be improved.
