All initial posts must contain a properly formatted in-text citation and scholarly reference.

 Dissertation Topic: Advancements in Artificial Intelligence 

Your paper must be in correct APA format, use correct grammar, and will need to include at least seven (15) resources, ALL of which must:  

1) Be current. Published within the last few years.  

2) Be peer-reviewed.  

3) Relate directly to an in depth context of a topic related to your dissertation topic.  

Your submission should include an APA title page, an abstract of your dissertation, and each of your resources with annotations. Remember that an annotation is not the same as an abstract.

Discussion 1

“Functional and Nonfunctional Requirements” Please respond to the following:

Discuss some examples of functional versus nonfunctional requirements. What would exemplify these requirements in a software development project for an online college student registration system?

Describe a requirement-specification technique that would be appropriate for an online college student registration system with an enrollment of 10,000 students. 

Provide a justification as to why you would use your chosen technique over other requirement-specification techniques that are available.

Discussion 2

“Testing Nonfunctional Requirements” Please respond to the following:

Among the many nonfunctional requirements that can be included in a specification are those related to safety and reliability. 

In your own words, discuss how an organization can ensure that these requirements are testable.

Identify some examples of testing a safety requirement and a reliability requirement in the context of a software system that controls the electrical components of a roller coaster at an amusement park.

The development of a database requires thorough methodology that ensures quality within the solution. Imagine you have been contracted to develop a finance database that will help an organization track monthly expenditures by departments.

Suggest actions that one can perform in order to overcome these possible challenges.

In order to mitigate risks associated with a database, it is essential to consider common sources of database failures. Describe at least two possible database failures that may occur once a database is placed into operation. Suggest actions that may be performed in order to avoid or mitigate these possible failures.

Please respond to the following:

(3) Chapter 2 described the data analytics lifecycle which is an approach to managing and executing an analytical project. What are the benefits of doing a pilot program before a full-scale rollout of a new analytical methodology? Discuss this in the context of the mini-case study of your selected organization.
