Technologies and Approaches¶

A decision was taken to keep Technologies (QT) and Approaches (QM) separate with the possibility to create links between them. This prevents data redundancy when for example several Technologies share the same Approach. This linkage was already available in the old WOCAT database, but links need to be cleaned up.

Both Approaches and Technologies have a core part (QT core, respectively QA core) containing a basic set of questions. An additional part (QT plus / QA plus) can be used to display the full set of questions. Further links to other modules will be possible.

Sample user story¶

• User Alice wants to add a new Technology, so she logs in to QCAT
• She enters the form of the Questionnaire on Technologies and sees the Core questions by default.
• She also has the option to fill out the Plus questionnaire where she sees all the questions.
• She fills out every section with the values automatically being filled in the output format of the Questionnaire.
• At the end of the form, she has the possibility to link other Questionnaires.
  • She can add an existing Approach by searching and selecting it.
  • [It is possible that for the time being, only existing questionnaires can be linked so if she wants to link an Approach which does not exist yet, she would have to go to the Approach form and create an Approach. After that, she can go back to the Technology form and link it.]
