Website Fitness for Purpose
Evaluate whether a website meets its end-user and functional requirements.
How to study National 5 Computing Science
Move from functional requirements to designs and implementation, trace data and code carefully, and support testing and evaluation with evidence.
Core concepts
Concept 1
Fitness for purpose is judged against the website’s stated functional requirements.
Exam cue: Cite the exact requirement and observable evidence.
Concept 2
Evidence may come from the implemented content, navigation, media behaviour and test results.
Exam cue: Explain how the evidence affects the intended end-user.
Concept 3
A useful improvement addresses a demonstrated gap in requirement coverage.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Judging fitness only from personal taste.
Guardrail: Check option route, data type, valid boundary, loop condition, array index, identifier and expected output before committing to the response.
Suggesting an unrelated visual change without a requirement or evidence.
Guardrail: Check option route, data type, valid boundary, loop condition, array index, identifier and expected output before committing to the response.
Memory anchors
Website fitness
The implemented site satisfies the stated end-user and functional requirements.
Content evidence
Required information and media are present and usable.
Navigation evidence
Users can reach required internal pages and external resources.
Interaction evidence
Required mouse-event behaviour occurs at the correct time.
Test evidence
Observed results support or challenge the fitness judgement.
Evaluation form
Requirement + evidence + user effect + justified improvement.
Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.
