Design review 2

Your role in design review 2 is primarily to gather information.

The second design review takes place after final functional specifications for the system are complete. This means the overall logic for each program in the system is defined, as well as the interface and interactions between programs. Audit and security requirements are defined at this point, along with most data requirements. When design review 2 is successfully concluded, its output is an approved set of final functional specifications.

Everyone who attended design review 1 should attend design review 2. People from test and maintenance groups attend as observers to begin getting information for test case design and maintenance. Those concerned with auditing and security can also attend.

Your role in this review is still primarily to gather information. You also look at:

• Whether the specifications meet user requirements
• Whether the relationship between data items is correct
• Whether any of the required data already exists
• Whether audit and security requirements are consistent with user requirements
• Whether audit and security requirements can be implemented
