Block 4 Checklist

Use this page for the Block 4 submission standard.

Assessment window: observation Term 2 Week 5. Submission Term 2 Week 6.

Exact Assessment Items

  • Two to three different design ideas.
  • One evaluation criteria table.
  • A recorded evaluation result for each design against the criteria.

Each Design Idea Must

  • be a genuine alternative, not a tiny variation of the same idea
  • respond to the same SRS
  • show both functionality and appearance
  • show that you considered requirements and constraints
  • be documented using ideation tools such as mood boards, brainstorming, mind maps, sketches or annotated sketches

Your Evaluation Criteria Table Must

  • be written as questions
  • be set out clearly in a table
  • allow each design to be judged against the same criteria
  • record the outcome for each design idea

Your Evaluation Criteria Should Cover The Criteria That Are Relevant To Your Solution, Such As

  • accessibility
  • accuracy
  • attractiveness
  • clarity
  • communication of message
  • completeness
  • maintainability
  • readability
  • relevance
  • timeliness
  • usability
  • cost of data and file manipulation
  • functionality
  • speed of processing
  • ease of use
  • implementation time
  • scalability
  • future modification and enhancement
  • how well the design satisfies requirements
  • how well the design copes with constraints
  • development cost and maintenance cost
  • compatibility with existing hardware, software, data and procedures
  • training requirements for users or staff

By The End Of This Block, You Should Be Able To Identify

  • which design idea is your preferred design for detailed design work

Keep This Ready For Later

  • keep the evaluation criteria editable because the same criteria will be used later to evaluate the final software solution
