Hi Eugene,
I cannot tell you what Sun are looking for (I don't know any more than anyone else in this forum). But some things for you to think about:
If a column was added to the database, could your program handle it? If not, how big a change is required to get your program to handle it?
If the order of columns in the database changed, could your program handle it? If not, how big a change is required to get your program to handle it?
If the name of a column in the database changed, could your program handle it? If not, how big a change is required to get your program to handle it?
If the users want to be able to search on an additional field, how big a change is required to get your program to handle it? Would it require a change of screen layout (requiring retraining of staff?
)
If the user needs to enter an additional piece of information (instead of only entering numbers of seats required), how big a change is required to get your program to handle it? Would it require a change of screen layout (requiring retraining of staff?
)
Can you see where I am going with these questions? I am sure if you try, you will be able to find other potential changes to the system, and you could then think about how big an impact they would have on your application or on the users.
Regards, Andrew
