Overview Introduction Requirements Project Plan Design Demonstration Retrospective

Introduction Wastewater Treatment Facilities Generate Biosolid Waste Waste Information Collection –Guided by Federal Regulations (USEPA 40 Part 503) –Current systems Paper Forms Limited Standalone Computer Systems Geographically Dispersed Sites Limited Systems Analysis –Manual compilation of raw data Paper Limited Computer Systems –No ability to view data in relation to Source Geography Destination Geography 1st Goal: Automate Wastewater Biosolid Information Collection & Reporting

Introduction Continued… Geographical Information System (GIS) –Linking spatial (geography/maps) with Non-spatial (attribute data - e.g. soil composition, dominant vegetation) 2 nd Goal: Demonstrate Viewability of Submitted Data Graphically with GIS Analysis Functionality Proof of Concept System from two goals: WBIMS Wastewater Biosolids Information Management System

Biosolid Requirements Functional Requirements Non-Functional Requirements Use Case Model

Functional Requirements Universal Access Credential Verification Ability to Input Biosolid Information Some Analysis Capability Ability to display : –Buildings –Topology –Land Application Site

Non-Functional Requirements Usability - keep typing to a minimum, Users Manual Reliability - automatic reboot upon failure Performance concurrent users Supportability - EPA office, federal system, other OS support Implementation –Biosolids Data Management System (BDMS) EPA approved system Mandated by the client for wholesale inclusion into this project Will provide the ‘SubmitInfo’ structure to the new system Drafts adherence from those who presently use the BDMS –Graphic Display Capability Started with ArcGIS and ArcIMS Migrated to GoogleMaps Supports demonstration capabilities to IEPA representatives –Interface – Web Access

Biosolid Plan Software Lifecycle Testing Deployment Risk Management

Software Lifecycle Waterfall Model with Sub Projects –Team Organization / Sub Project Focus –Ideal for Concurrent Development –Iterative Lifecycle Not Appropriate Due to Larger System Size / Limited Time

3 Phases of Testing Unit Testing –Sub Project Dependent –Primary Coder / Coder/Reader Integration Testing –Between Sub Projects –Sub Project Primary SME Coordinated System Testing –Single User Functionality Testing

Deployment During Project –Capture Configurations System Component Configuration (IIS, Microsoft SQL Server) Front End Configuration Google Map Configuration BDMS Configuration Prior To System Testing –Create Software Installation Documentation Document System Pre-Requisites (e.g. IIS Web Server) Primary Configuration of Custom Software Validate in Testing At Close of Project –Transfer All Documentation to Clients –Clients Have Technical Skills and Resources –Oversee Successful Deployment to Client Workstation

Hardware/Software Mapping Routing Subsystem runs on the Server Biosolid Login & Main Menu runs on the Web Server BDMS System runs on the Web Server GIS System on the Web Server –Access to Google via API. Consolidated Database is housed on the SQL Server

Persistent Data Management This project uses a relational database for all persistent data instantiation. BDMS system uses forms with fields that can save data to the database via the DBMS. Each data access system will be shifting from direct data access (Microsoft Access) to an indirect access via Microsoft SQL Server DBMS. –This layering will protect the data from concurrent users, system shutdowns and other various data risk activities.

Project Demonstration

Retrospective The Biosold project went well. –Design was solid. –Schedule had enough built-in time to absorb delays. –We were able to interface BDMS with Googlemaps –We added statistical charts needed by Clients –Testing has been catching areas needing improvement Some Hurdles to Overcome: –Non-functional requirement to use ArcGIS/ArcIMS ArcGIS works Great ArgIMS works Great ArcIMS with ArcGIS doesn’t work at all – needed –Project Interference Employers over employing Personal Issues
