Getting Started - the App "Requirements"

Let's get straight into building a demonstration App.  Typically we get this moving with a "User Story" and a "Requirements List". Our demonstration uses XPOR to build an App that manages "Off Site Visits" for a neighbour of ours - The Benefical Foundation.

Case Study

Off Site Visits must;

  • Be adequately supervised
  • Have a Risk Assessment
  • Be Appraised by the Supervisor and Owner.
  • Contribute to achieving the course objectives
  • Cater for wheel chair bound people
  • Have toilet facilities and a safe meeting place
  • Be open during student hours
  • Have parking for our vehicle
  • Be in the office calendar - things mustn't clash
  • Provide parent / carer notices
