General Info and Scope

Classified As: component
Parent Mantis: 605
Prerequisites: any articles that must be read before to understand this?

Scope

This is a list of Countries, Airports, Ports/Terminals. It also contains an area for users to list Regions and Busiest Ports/Terminals according to business processes.

Business Requirements

Rather than just ensure there are no duplications, we need to upload, and be working from, universally accepted airport codes (from IATA), as well as Country names (United Nations), Sea Port Codes (International Maritime Organization).

Notes from Systems Architect

This section is defined by Systems Architect. It is written after #Business Requirements are defined.
The purpose of this section is to give direction to System Analysts who will write detailed specification.

Rapid Design

In some cases (component is non standard) we need to do preliminary not so detailed design before detailed final. And maybe even code it to create Prototype
This section does not have to be too detailed or too formalized. We shall not spend too much time on Prototypes - they can change many times.

Detailed Design

This section is defined by Systems Analyst.
It contains detailed technical design is written after #Business Requirements and #Technical Requirements are defined.

Summary

Geography component is a part of Admin component of CT2. In the Internal application Geography component presents as the Geography section.

The Geography section stores information what divided to five groups:

Regions
Countries
Airports
Ports/Terminals
Busiest Ports/Terminals.

User Interface

Info of each group located in the separate tab of Geography section. The tab names are the same as the group names.

Functionality / Use Cases

This section you could spit into two. But often it is hard to do since often most of functionality is UI related

Special Cases and Misc

Relationships between Country and Region

In the CT2 is used the following rules of relations between Countries and Regions:

1) One Region can to include many Countries (rule 1: one region -> many countries).

2) One Country can only belong to one Region (rule 2: one country -> one region).

As confirmed in mantis #0002040, CT2 functionality must to provide a needed validation and prevent the existing of several countries with the same name:

1) validation executes on the Countries Tab upon saving data in "Add Country" window.

2) when Country with Printable Name already exists in DB:

- System shows warning message window with text "Country with this Printable Name already exists"

- and doesn't save data.

3) user ought to correct the entered name or stop adding this country.

QA

This section is to be written by QA Engineer or QA Manager or Systems Analyst.

Test Cases

List unusual scenarios - things that user most of the time would not do but system must handle well
Do not list Common Test Cases - link to them

Look and Feel

This section is to be written / defined by Graphic Designer and UI Designer.
This includes: final graphics, final layout
Layout defined here should refine, provide more detials to "functional definitions" of UI as defined in #Functionality / Use Cases section above

If Y then remove this link from here --> BR to be updated
If Y then remove this link from here --> Design to be updated
If Y then remove this link from here --> QA to be updated

Update types: Re-design / Tweak / Etc
Ideally update all sections of spec (see above) right away. If you have no time to update spec now or multiple people have to be involved then define task here and come back to update later. In this case add links from here to "TBU wiki tag articles" - see above.

Update Description

Briefly explain what was done and list links to updated sections.
