Assumptions

This chapter lists the known assumptions regarding this phase of development.

1. Generally speaking, we are not necessarily trying to create new functionality for the External User at this time. Rather, we are trying to further define the functionality originally outlined during Phase 1, and resolve questions that have arisen from that original outline before programming continues.
2. This application is not being shipped to any outside users in Phase 2c.
   1. Therefore, within Phase 2c, it will continue to be deployed through the Java WebStart tool, and no time will be spent trying to "package" the application with a different deployment tool (such as InstallShield or similar).
   2. Therefore, this phase concludes when user acceptance testing has been completed.
3. Job types
   1. Development during this sub-phase is only for Unplanned job types
4. Only MD developers will be working on the Java code during this phase.
5. The system will run on the following computer platforms:
   1. Windows 2000
   2. Windows XP
   3. Windows NT
   4. Mac - OS/X 10.2 and newer
