This project allows candidates to develop their knowledge and understanding of ICT. The project is a substantial piece of work requiring analysis and design over an extended period of time, which is organised, evaluated and presented in a report.
Collaborative working
Candidates choose, in conjunction with a third-party user, a well-defined client-driven problem that enables them to demonstrate their skills to:
- analyse a problem;
- design a solution to the problem;
- develop the software solution;
- test the solution against the requirements specification;
- document the solution;
- evaluate the solution;
- work with another person/people to successfully complete the above steps.
Candidates should identify a problem that requires solving rather than a project to complete. Each candidate must submit a report on their work, supported by evidence of software development and testing.
