Legacy Transcripts Development Meeting Summary
Development Meeting
LEGACY TRANSCRIPTS
May 28, 2020
OBJECTIVE
•
To show progress on development of the application.
•
Re-introduce the project to existing workgroup
members and bring new members up to speed.
•
Get answers to some questions of usage and
functionality.
ITERATIVE DEVELOPMENT
3
Iterative development is a way of breaking down the software development of a large application into
smaller chunks. In iterative development, feature code is designed, developed and tested in repeated
cycles. With each iteration (called Sprints), additional features can be designed, developed and tested
until there is a fully functional software application ready to be deployed to customers.

WHAT IT IS
•
Legacy Transcripts is a web-based application.
•
Data is pulled from legacy systems into a single
database.
•
Usage is for colleges that have transitioned to
ctcLink.
•
Meets OCIO standards on security, accessibility
•
Responsive design
4
TEST APPLICATION AND EVALUATE
•
Iterative development process
repeats if testing produces errors
or missing design elements
•
Initial testing will begin at the end of Sprint 4
•
SBCTC and workgroup evaluates results from
testing
DEPLOY
•
SBCTC deploys
application
•
Workgroups assists with
developing system
communication
•
SBCTC maintains project web
site
•
SBCTC monitors and reports on
project activities and timelines
OTHER DUTIES
QUESTIONS & CLARIFICATIONS
•
New legislation for suppressing transcripts for
punitive actions – what effects?
•
Wording if student record not found student search –
Next Steps.
•
Students with multiple SIDs in same school, search
failures, how often?.
•
Junk records – (missing names or marked with **,
etc) remove?
7
QUESTIONS & CLARIFICATIONS (2)
•
Explain Merge/Deduplicate (split?) and functionality
needed.
•
Privacy block – simple yes/no? What are the
restrictions and overrides?
•
Allow any editing of SSN? Student and/or staff.
•
Which address should print on transcript? Student’s
account or that in the transcript data?
8
QUESTIONS & CLARIFICATIONS (3)
•
Are additional fields from legacy needed? Advisor ID,
Branch, Transcript Tracking, etc.
•
Do we need an Address 2 field? Not in legacy, but
could be of use?
•
Note that test data is obfuscated – data is generated
and randomized.

Legacy Transcripts project aims to show progress in developing a web-based application to pull data from legacy systems into a single database for colleges transitioning to ctcLink. The iterative development process involves reviewing, testing, and deploying the application in smaller cycles until it meets standards on security and accessibility. Workgroups are involved in testing, evaluating, and maintaining the project, with a focus on addressing questions and clarifications related to new legislation, record search failures, junk records, and functionality requirements.
