3.07. Strive to fully understand the specifications for software on which they work.
As it is conveyed in the code of conduct, software engineers should endeavor to understand the specifications of the software that they are currently working on or they are going to develop in the future. It is very important that they completely understand the requirements given by the client to reach the expected results. If failed to identify the specifications completely it would eventually lead to several unfavorable effects such as wrong outputs from functions, inappropriate designs, unsatisfied clients and users and etc. Therefore the complete understanding of specifications is considered essential with regard to developing of the software.
Pertaining to ReputeU website which we are intended to develop, we are responsible for what we understand from the specification and what we develop accordingly. Hence we put our maximum effort to comprehend the specifications of the site and its domain. In order to do so our team had several meetings with the client in every stage of the development. In our meetings the discussions took place on clarifying the problems arose and to make sure that the client is well aware of our work and its progress. The client viewed the work and placed his comments and suggestions with regard to the functionalities as well as design of the site. Those suggestions and comments were taken into consideration for improving the site further.
Apart from those meetings, we had team meetings on every week in order to discuss the issues each member had and those were also supportive in understanding the specifications clearly. It was not necessary to use requirement gathering techniques such as questionnaires or interviews as the specifications were clear and well understood after several meetings with the client. To gain a better understanding on how to implement several functionalities our team studied and researched websites with similar functionalities and went through some tutorials wish provide us a great benefit.
