Scenario Accove Pty Ltd is a Small to Medium Enterprise based in Brisbane that specialises in designing and building widgets for various operating systems. Widgets are small programs built to accomplish certain tasks to be integrated with other software such as a small window that displays the weather information for the user's current geographical location or a list of recent local news stories. The company has recently had an overhaul of their online presence and would like a brand new XML document to meet provide a better experience for staff and customers. Specifically, they have hired you to work with the managing director to oversee the entire project. The primary focus and purpose of the XML document is to store all relevant information related to Accove's widgets within a format that is easy to navigate and integrate into other applications. Accove expects that this will increase staff productivity and allow for consistent information about the software they produce. This should result in a reduction of costs in the company and improve overall productivity across the organisation. In short, it will function as a data storage that will contain information related to widgets such as the name, category, company that created it, date created, programmer(s), date of last update and images. There is a remote possibility that the requirements may change throughout the development life cycle. Things to consider in preparation for the practical task In order to prepare for the discussion, it is suggested that you consider several key areas. You will need to be able to demonstrate your ability to build a document using an extensible markup language including: 1. Checking an XML document against client requirements. 2. Validating the XML document on an online validator, informing the client of the results. 3. Analysing the test results gathered from this testing. Before you begin this assessment create a new folder called ICTWEB504-A4 YourName. This folder will contain your answers to the following assessment and must be submitted to your assessor for marking. Environment and context In this assessment, you will be playing the role of an expert web developer with a specialty in developing XML documents. The following assessment will require you to test that your XML document meets the client specifications, is valid and meets the audience's expectations, and the test results have been properly analysed.ICTWEB504 Assessment 4 V2.0 ICTWEB504 - Build a document using eXtensible markup language 3 | Page Task 1 Test the Document Offline against the Specifications and Confirm the Document's Validity You have finally delivered the XML document to Accove, the Managing Director is very pleased with your work. The next phase of the development cycle will involve testing. Accove has prepared a list of test cases derived from the majority of the client requirements that they would like you to review and compare to your XML document. Specifically, they would like you to use the Accove Widget XML Checklist which can be downloaded from your mystudydesk account. Download it and rename it ICTWEB504-A4 T1.docx.
