<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My students are up to the Folio of Designs in SD at the moment.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m just wondering what should be done in the 2 or 3 designs compared to what should be left to the detailed design (of the chosen one).<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Surely the algorithm in Pseudocode can be left to the detailed design (since there wouldn’t be able to be too much difference in design here, in order to the meet the req’s of their SRS).<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But then what should the 2 or 3 designs include? Mock ups? Data Dictionaries? I’m not really sure.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks all.<u></u><u></u></p>
