Summary
Dev Team expressed concerns to me about what SAs put into wiki spec. To address them we agreed to the following.
Agreements
- Main role of SA
- It is in most cases to:
- receive and review Business Requirements from BA,
- point out on missing elements
- help them finalize Business Requirements
- provide brief additional technical information required for developers
- No ZUL
- No zul code should be created by SA. Reasons:
- a) time consuming;
- b) UIs should be created by developers
- No mock-up
- Same reasons as above
- UI/functionality prototype
- a) Due to changes above UI and functionality can be presented for review AFTER it was coded on Demo server. We call this Fully Functional Prototypes. This is replacing a mechanism of demonstrating solution by presenting UI mock ups.
- b) in some cases UI mock ups will be used. Examples:
- *in Design Ideas section; in pdf based proposals to Clients
- *if Proposal is required as a request to RFP
- SA Notes
- Section "Detailed Design will be replaced" with "SA Notes"
- Related specs must be linked
- Keep it simple
- First things first
- Explain most important things first... then stop. If you have more time say more.
- Exemplary specs
- Create a list of specs that comply to the new standard. See #Exemplary specs
- Impact on existing code
- SA should state in SA Notes section what impact will have proposed change on existing components if any (reports, etc)

- Alex: SA Notes section possibly too detailed. When do we pass this task to developer? What is the role of SA? Should he discuss XML design specifics with Descartes here or it is a developers job?
