Design and Developement project in school!? Well see we used Visual Basic Expression Edition 2005 to create a program. I did a heaps basic one, a quiz of 10 questions about Grey's Anatomy. Its incredibly simple and stuff, with radiobuttons for answers and a lable for the question with pictures and stuff, but I was wondering if anyone could help me make up a flow chart, and ipo chart, test data and a desk check?

It has a simple scoring system with the variable score and +1 for every correct radiobutton clicked.

add me to msn ... rabbitkit@cluemail.com

or reply here with suggestions, adivce, ANYTHING! lol

all help is thankfully taken!

You're the only one who can do the documentation because you know the software best. And just do what you just wrote in your question! You described the basic function of the software. Write about the goals, architecture (how you laid out the UI and how that interacts with the logic of the program), the requirements it fulfills, etc.

Testing? That is a learned art. You should abuse your program. Try to break it. Do things to it that you never designed for and see how it behaves. You'll find a lot of bugs this way. Like try not answering any of the questions, try to choose more than one answer, choose all the same answer to each question, try to resize the window, etc, and this is a funny one: just let it sit there for many hours and see if it dies on its own.
