The report describes the iterative development process used, including requirements gathering, design, implementation, and testing phases. It provides details on functional and non-functional requirements as well as system design diagrams. The goal is to apply software engineering practices to the development of this sample application.
This document summarizes a presentation on trends in the independent aftermarket truck business in Southeast Europe. It finds that while knowledge and development of the markets is uneven, there are interesting growth opportunities, particularly in Hungary, Romania, and Turkey, where the independent aftermarket still holds strong positions despite increasing pressure from original equipment manufacturers. A main future challenge will be improving workshop quality standards and expertise through support initiatives to handle more complex repairs. Concerted efforts are needed to strengthen awareness of quality among workshops and fleets through persistent education.
