Your client, Create Magazine, has hired your consultancy to recommend and test their new web server. Your job is to find out what their business priorities are to justify their need for a web server. If they go ahead and obtain a web server you are to make sure it works as expected before going “live”. If it doesn’t work, it could cost their organisation dearly, so you need to develop and perform tests, and make appropriate recommendations for future server capacity.

Part 1 Business Analysis Report

a) Use existing business data sources (eg company documents) to develop  critical business questions.

b) With these questions, conduct  individual interviews and a  group survey to gather business data.

c) Create a professionally presented Business Analysis Report which contains an  executive summary of business priorities, a  recommendation whether to proceed with a web server, followed by a copy of the  data gathering tools you used

You may need to meet with your client’s representative (teacher) to clarify their requirements.

Due by 26th Oct (Week 13) Competent ICAICT509A 1. Identify key information sources ICAICT509A 2. Gather data  ICAICT509A 3. Prepare data analysis for review (6 marks) Additional (up to 6 Grading marks)

Part 2 Select and develop test tools You need to test the following functions of the web server:

a) web pages are served securely using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). You will need to  research and  configure this feature.

b) server content can be remotely administered with an easy to use graphical interface. You will need to  research and potentially  install this feature.

c) server response times are sufficiently low. You are required to  develop a HTA (HyperText Application) with VBScript to measure this performance.

d) server access logs can be automatically scanned for unusual activity. You are required to  develop a HTA that reports this activity.

You may need to meet with your client’s representative (teacher) to clarify their requirements.
