Project Artifact Report Tracking System (PARTS)
Concept Statement


The purpose of this project is to create a software application called PARTS which will facilitate the collection of information on artifacts or work-products created during a software development cycle. This includes the status of the artifact and problem reports related to the artifact. The data collected shall be stored and accessible for the following purposes:

1. Showing what artifacts are being tracked for a given project;
2. Monitoring the status of an artifact;
3. Recording a problem, or change request for a given artifact;
4. Assigning a team member to a problem relating to an artifact;
5. Assigning a change request of an artifact to a team member;
6. Making queries related to any artifact for the purposes of generating a status report.

The users of this system will be small to medium sized software development teams.
