This document contains the formal design specifications for the access and analysis components of the BI application. It contains report layouts, screen designs, interface designs, calculations for reports and queries, and the design of the online help function. In addition, it contains the programming specifications for every access and analysis component. Portions of this document will be given to different application developers to code the program modules and query scripts.
Application test plan
The application test plan should include the purpose for each test, a schedule for running the tests, and the test cases, including input criteria and expected output results. A test log should accompany the test plan, documenting when the tests were run, who ran the tests, and what the test results were.
Application programs
All access and analysis programs and scripts for the BI application should be coded and tested. If an OLAP tool is being used, all of the OLAP functions should be developed and tested .
Application program library
All access and analysis programs and scripts should reside in the application program library or OLAP tool library. All access and analysis programs and scripts should have been integration tested or regression tested, performance tested, QA tested, and acceptance tested.
Training materials
Training materials include presentation slides, instructor notes, student workbooks, and exercises and their solutions, as well as any additional pertinent handouts.
