Phase Two will provide analyst and publisher access to a range of serialisations and reports.
System Requirements
Coding Standards
o To be built using python 3, using lxml for XML processing.
o Code must be written to a style guide (for example adherence to PEP8/docstring conventions, with linters added to continuous integration checks)
o Any third-party packages that are used should be well documented and well supported
o To be built under TDD principles:
Robust repeatable feature testing
Custom functionality must be unit tested (including examples of where there are edge cases in data, including mocking of HTTP requests)
o Must be easy to debug
o A number of functions and processes used by the DS are applicable to other IATI tools. The DS should where possible, reuse existing IATI components.
o The code of the DS will be published on Github with an GNU 3.0 open source licence.
Agile Management
o The proposal should adopt an agile approach to development which allows for reasonable modifications to the original specification based on feedback from the IATI secretariat and user testing
Documentation
