Prototype 1 / Specification 2

Last modified: Nov 1, 6:30 pm

The specification for the next iteration of the project should contain the same information as Specification 1.

The frozen prototype should include:

  • Text description. This should be a modified version of the text description from the specification that describes the iteration "as built" (rather than "as designed") with reference to the static screen shots.
  • Static screen shots. It is usually convenient to capture these using ALT-PrintScreen on a Windows computer and then to use paste to place them on blank powerpoint slides. Other techniques, such as using a screen capture utility to produce GIF or JPEG images are equally acceptable.
  • Evaluation results. This should be a brief description of the evaluation that you performed and what you learned from that evaluation.
  • The Java source code for the iteration, as a jar file. A README that that explains how it should be run should be included.
The frozen prototype and the specification for the next iteration should be turned in by creating a Web page that links to each required item, linking to that page from your project Web page, and then sending the professor and a TA an email stating that it is there before the beginning of class on the date that it is due.
