Assignment: Software Design Specification (SDS) Document

In this assignment, you need to create a Software Design Specification (SDS) document based on the first three phases of this project. Once your SDS is completed your team should be able to move on to system implementation using your designs as a blueprint.

To assist you with completing this document, please examine the following example: https://www.slideshare.net/RaviYasas/example-for-sds-document-in-software-engineering

Write a Software Design Specification document in which you:

– Summarize the main points for the first three phases of this project.

– Create all of the required diagrams from Phase 2 and 3 and fill in any gaps that may – have been identified as you have progressed through this course.

– Demonstrate in your SDS a thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in this course by providing new thoughts and insights related to the previous phases.

– Use at least four quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources

1. Fully develop your ideas:  While there is no specific page requirement, students are expected to fully develop their ideas using business communication language.  This means you must demonstrate to your professor you have absorbed the material and understand it.  A statement of fact should be supported by two or three sentences.  A paragraph should only contain one idea.  A fully developed idea doesnt mean an exhaustive explanation in which students write everything they know, just enough to get the point across to the reader.

2. Make sure you do your own work: 

Include charts or diagrams created in MS-Project. The completed diagrams / charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted.

Remember to review the syllabus expectations for initial discussion posts and peer replies.

Discuss the following: 1. Compare blockchain to traditional browser server (B/S) and client server (C/S) frameworks used for human resource information management systems. You are required to cite this weeks assigned readings in your paper. You may also cite prior week’s reading assignments and external sources if you wish.

Use the following headings to organize your paper: Introduction, Question 1, Conclusion, References.

Submit your paper as a Word attachment in the discussion forum. I provide feedback within the paper and will not grade your post unless you submit it as an attachment. Your response to the discussion prompt should contain a minimum of 500 words and it should be submitted no later than Tuesday before 11:59 pm EST.  Your response should be formatted in APA style and reference this week’s readings.

Please use following material:
