Solution Design Document (Draft) and Test Plan

The purpose of a Solution Design Document is to provide a thorough and complete description of your proposed solution.

It has to include the logical (network topology, addressing, naming, VLANs, VPNs etc) as well as the physical design (which equipment to use, chosen LAN and WAN technology etc) for solutions and provides information on how the design is to be implemented (Installation plans, user guides, administration plans etc). The design decisions that you have made need to be justified by referring back to the customer requirements set out in the Requirements Specification. You will need to show how your proposed design is a valid solution to fulfil these requirements. An electronic copy of the templates for the Design Document can be found in the resources section of the ITC306 Interact site.

Test plan

The purpose of a test plan is to clearly document the testing parameters for the system you are building in order to ensure the system is accurately evaluated against the system requirements documented in Assessment Item 2.
