I meet up with my group mates and brainstorm over what ideas to conceptualize and after a long discussion, my group mates and i come up with the idea of developing a system the tracks the distribution of drugs by the national medical stores.
Write a concept paper and submit!!!
Write a concept paper and submit!!!
Week 2
The concept paper is approved and Mr Kamulegeya Grace is assigned as our supervisor.
I refine the idea and narrow the scope of the project. I resubmit the concept paper for verification.
Week 3 & 4
I do an initial field study of the project we propose to develop. I check out the National Medical Stores Website such that i see if there is any relevant information about this Government organ. I also go to the NMS offices in Wandeyega alomg Bombo Road on Esami Building where i am referred to the main offices in Entebbe. From there, i am able to collect the relevant information that is resourceful to the our proposal, i am able to understand how the current distribution system of drugs operates, identify the loopholes and how our proposed system mitigates these problems.
Proposal writing
Using the information i gathered, we sit down as a group and structure it. I am able to come up with the first version of our proposal.
Meeting the supervisor
I meet Mr. Kamulegeya Grace. He reviews our work and put emphasis on sections where alterations are to be made. Iam also informed that he will be meeting us on a weekly basis to monitor our progress.
After several modifications and evaluations of the proposal, I am able to submit in to our Supervisor.
Proposal
Documenting of the SRS
I start documentation of the software requirements specifications. Here, due to time constraints, we divide the different sections of the document among ourselves. Each member focuses on a section which they write in their own timing. We meet as a group and discuss, rationalize as well as compile the work.
After several modifications and reviews from our supervisor, i am able to conclude our requirements document.
SEMESTER 2
Design documenT
Here, i am working the the system architecture where i sub divide all the functional requirements into independent modules. I use microsoft visio to illustrate the relationships between the modules and how how they are interface with the various system users.
I then go further ahead to explain what does module does in the system.
I also use a software known as balsamiq mockups to come up with screen mockups for our system. I come up with the login screen, home page, make complaints page, view available drugs page, view delivery schedule page among others. I go further to explain what each screen shot does and how it is manipulated by the user. I then come up with a representation of the logical flow through all the screen shot as manupilated by the user.
I am working on the physical data design. Using a class
still working on our proposal
