| Purpose of this assignment
Scenario:
Assume that you are planning to build a new desktop computer to play high end games where resources like high memory, higher processor and high end graphics card is needed. As acomputer expert you need to build a new computer system to meet your current needs. Your proposal should take the form of; (Task 1, 2)
· anoverall informative section on computer specifications related to Hardware & software · the detailed specifications of hardware components and features of Operating system · system integration testing plans Additionally, you need to produce (Task 3)
2. AUser Document that explains how to use the system 3. A Security Policy Document that specifies the security policyof your built system. 4. A Health and Safety documentwith conformance details for health and safety requirements
Carry out research onlatest hardware & software with a demonstration of good technical understanding, correct referencing and an appealing presentation. |
|
| Task 1 (LO: 1.1, 3.1, 3.2, M1, M3, D2)a. Depending on your needs, specify the overall system configuration of the new system (Here you just need to specify the overall specifications of hardware & software). [Assessment Criteria: 3.2]
b. Provide a detailed specification of your Hardware & software, including costing and sources. (It should specify the machine components or sub-systems appropriate to the requirement.)[Assessment Criteria: 1.1, 3.1] c. Evaluate the performance of the new system [Assessment Criteria: 1.2]
|
|
|
Task 2 (LO: 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, M2,M3 & D1)
a. Contrast the functions and features of any two type of operating systems available in the market [Assessment Criteria: 2.1] b. Suggest on how your selected OS can be customised after installation. [Assessment Criteria: 2.2] |
|
|
i. Task 3 (LO: 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, M3, D2 & D3 )
a. Produce a test plan that explain your strategy for testing the whole system after completeassembling and installation of OS. [Assessment Criteria: 4.1] b. Produce a user documentation explaining on how to use the new built system. [Assessment Criteria: 4.2] c. Suggest some security policy for your new system. [Assessment Criteria: 4.3]
d. Suggest some Health and Safety requirements in order to use the system. [Assessment Criteria: 4.4]
