General comments

The database for Steve Roberts has been developed in OpenOffice™, as an alternative to Microsoft Office®.

Only criterion E has been provided with this example. Notes are provided for understanding the client’s problem and inadequacies (criterion A). Some functionality of the product may be lost when copying or downloading it and will require the macros to be reattached. This information is available by following the link on the cover page for the student work.

Criterion A: Initial investigation

The client is identified. The present situation and the inadequacies are explained. The conversation that was held, with note-taking, can be considered to be a consultation. If it had not been recorded, it could not have been considered.

Criterion B: Analysis

Not provided for this example. Only notes are provided regarding the solution.

Criterion C: Project schedule

Not provided for this example.

Criterion D: Product design

Not provided for this example.

Criterion E: Product development

Complex and simple techniques are identified. The product development has been organized according to these techniques.

Three complex techniques have been justified. The relational database contains at least three related tables. Even though there are imperfections, the “best fit” is 7 marks.

Criterion F: Product evaluation and future product development

Not provided for this example.

Criterion G: Required elements

Not provided for this example.
