The Occupational Specialism project served as the final assessment for my T-Level course. This project
challenged me to develop a functional prototype based on a detailed project brief while also producing
comprehensive documentation to plan, design, and explain the prototype’s code and functionality. The
brief was centered around a hypothetical scenario involving a client named Riget Zoo Adventures,
requiring me to apply my problem-solving skills, technical knowledge, and software development best
practices to create an effective solution.
To develop the prototype for Riget Zoo Adventures, I
implemented secure code using C# with Windows Forms for the front-end and SQL for stored procedures and
database queries in the back-end. I gathered and prepared all necessary assets, such as images and
icons, and maintained an assets log to document the sources, content, purpose, and retrieval dates.
During development, I employed iterative testing to verify inputs, calculations, validation, and
processes with appropriate test data, and documented the iterative approach and any changes made. I
ensured that the code was maintainable by third parties and focused on delivering a high-quality user
experience. Additionally, I adhered to all legal and regulatory guidelines and standards, with
comprehensive documentation reflecting the development process and modifications.
