System Administration

We choose an Iterative Process with 2

complete iterations over 2 quarters.

Initial Planning

Setup of the team website, pick our process,

and meet the customer.

Planning

Define the project’s scope and organize

schedules. Project scope was determined

during meetings with the customer and reevaluated at the beginning of the

second iteration.

Requirements

Gathering requirements was a major activity that covered much of our project’s

running time. There were 77 functional requirements in the final SRS.

Analysis & Design

Ruby on Rails is designed with a Model-View-Controller architecture. This

limited the area that the team needed to design to the database.

Implementation

Implementation was done using Ruby on Rails. Each team member was given a

system feature to develop and results were discussed at the weekly meeting.

Testing

The testing strategy used

was designed along the V-model.

Acceptance tests were conducted by

Nokia, all other testing was conducted

by team IntelliGents.

Nokia has a mobile email application called Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email. It is

currently in use world-wide in enterprises, by business users and by consumers,

through global service providers. In order to enhance the end user’s initial setup

experience, Nokia’s Boston System Test Group has requested a troubleshooting

system.

This Nokia Intellisync Troubleshooting Wizard is a Web-based knowledge center

which facilitates end users troubleshooting their own initial setup and

configuration issues without the need to contact their IT administrator or Nokia’s

technical support.
