 \section*{Summary}
 To assess that you have achieved the learning objectives for the course,
 you need to design and evaluate the architecture for a complex system.
-\begin{itemize}
-    \item propose a non-trivial software project,
-    \item identify the primary quality attributes which would enable success of the project,
-    \item design an architecture suitable for the aims of the project,
-    \item deploy the architecture, utilising any techniques you have learnt in or out of the course, and
-    \item evaluate and report on the success of the software project.
-\end{itemize}
 
-\noindent
-The successful completion of the project will result in three deliverables, namely,
-\begin{enumerate}[label=\roman*]
-    \item a proposal of a software project, the proposal must clearly indicate and prioritise two or three quality attributes most important to the project's success,
-    \item the developed software, as both source code, and a deployed artifact, and
-    \item a report which evaluates the success of the developed software relative to the chosen quality attributes.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-\noindent
-Your software deliverable must include all supporting software (e.g. test suites or utilities) that are developed to support the delivered software.
 
 \section{Introduction}
 TradeOverflow wishes to provide a more dynamic shopping experience than traditional auction sites.
 Rather than items being listed for auction over a period of time, with a fixed end date,
 the sales model will be a trading platform.
 TradeOverflow will scan all items that are listed for sale on the site.
-It will aggregate all items of the same type.
+It will aggregate all items of the same type into a trading set.
 (e.g. It will find all copies of the Dune Ultra HD Bluray that are for sale, and aggregate them into a single trading set.)
 
 Once items have been aggregated into a trading set, the system will provide a dynamic trading platform for the item.

 You should make use of an appropriate architectural view that allows you to demonstrate how the architecture achieves the non-functional requirements described above.
 
 
 \section{Evaluation}
 You need to describe how you would test the TradeOverflow system to demonstrate that it delivers its key non-functional requirements.
-What infrastructure and test environment would be needed to perform adequate testing?
+This needs to describe the infrastructure and test environment that would be needed to perform adequate testing.
+You need to justify why the proposed testing strategy would be sufficient to provide confidence that the system meets its functional and non-functional requirements.
 
 
 \section{Report}

+You need to submit a report that includes the following content.
 \begin{description}
     \item[Diagrams] C4 diagrams of the system's architecture.
     \item[Architecture] Textual description of the software architecture.
     \item[Justification] Describe how the architecture delivers the key non-functional requirements. Justify the architectural choices you made in the design. Explain why the selected AWS services are suitable to deliver the key non-functional requirements.
+    \item[Security] Describe the potential digital attack surface of the system and how it should be designed and implemented to reduce the risk of unauthorised access to the system.
     \item[Evaluation] Summarise how the TradeOverflow system could be tested.

 You do not need to have sections for each topic above, though your report needs to contain the content summarised above.
 For example, the architectural description and diagrams could be interleaved with each other.

 You must complete a presentation as part of this supplementary assessment.
 You cannot pass the assessment without completing the presentation.
-The presentation will consist of a five minute summary of your architectural design.
+The presentation will consist of a six minute summary of your architectural design and justification of your design choices.
 You should use diagrams from your report to help the audience understand your architecture.
 
-After your five minute summary, you will need to answer questions about your architectural design.

 \section{Academic Integrity}
 As this is a higher-level course, you are expected to be familiar with the importance of academic integrity in general, and the details of UQ's rules.
