Steps in style sheet development life cycle
• Prepare the output requirements specification.
• Develop application style sheets.
• Test generated output for conformity with requirements.
• Adjust style sheets as layout requirements change.
Output requirements specification Steps to prepare output requirements specification
• Analyse sample output documents, identify page components and agree on a common vocabulary for components.
• Analyse the DTD or Schema and identify of important contexts and how these relate to the page components.
• Specify layout of schema elements and other page components.
Why the output requirements specification is important
• A specification enables a common understanding of the output requirements between document designers and application programmers.
• It promotes a more complete analysis at an earlier stage, thus producing a more reliable application.
• It provides a reference for testing application outputs.
• It provides an ongoing reference for future maintenance developers, avoiding the creation of "Guru" systems.
