Everything the rubric rewards (methods, findings mapped to SRS categories, visible labelling work, method rationale) must appear on the poster itself.

# Context Diagram vs Data Flow Diagram — What Goes Where
-Hamilton College · Year 12 · 2026

One of the most common errors in C2-2 is treating these two diagrams as interchangeable — or producing a second context diagram and calling it a DFD. They are different levels of the same model, and each has strict rules about what can appear on it.

A context diagram is the **highest-level** view of your software system: one shape for the whole system, the external entities it talks to, and the named data flows between them. Nothing inside, nothing extra. It is the diagram that defines the **scope** of what you are building — and it is the foundation every later diagram (Level-1 DFD, use case) must stay consistent with.

On context diagrams and data flow diagrams, students frequently draw only the humans they can think of — *"Student"*, *"Teacher"* — and miss every external system their software talks to. Missing an entity is a rubric error at every level above 3–4, because the rubric rewards *"relationships between the existing system, entities and data flows"*.

In **C02** you *created* the Use Case Diagram, Context Diagram, and Data Flow Diagram (the analytical tools). In **C03** you *document* those diagrams inside your formal SRS — that's a different job.

The third SAT criterion covers the full Software Requirements Specification (SRS) — the formal document you produce after your data collection. You will write functional and non-functional requirements, define scope using MoSCoW, document constraints across five categories, describe your users, and specify the technical environment. You will also practise critical thinking by writing, evaluating, and following up on questions that test your own SRS.

# Evaluating Your Own Questions

For C3-2, the **7–8 band** requires you to *evaluate* your critical analysis questions — rating each one as High, Medium, or Low against what it would actually improve in your SRS. Most students assign High to every question. That is not an evaluation; it is a claim. The rubric is checking whether you can honestly judge your own work.

One of the most common errors in C3-1 is writing performance targets ("the app shall load in under 2 seconds") under functional requirements, or writing feature steps under non-functional requirements. These two requirement types are defined differently — and the C3-1 rubric checks both at 5–6 band.

One of the most commonly skipped steps in C4-2 is linking evaluation criteria back to the SRS. Students often write criteria that sound plausible but weren't in the requirements they set at the start of the project. The rubric penalises this — criteria that float free of the SRS cannot provide genuine evidence that your solution met its goals.
