Checkpoint 11.4 - Core

Appropriate naming conventions have been adhered to

DEECD Requirement

DEECD Guideline

Naming conventions help to standardise the management of a web site and to avoid errors in their use by browsers and client and server applications.

Requirement

Directory names and file names should be kept as short as possible and should be consistent with the project that is being worked on. Do not use full stops, spaces, ampersand or per cent symbols in directory or file names.

Recommendation

File names that include an & ampersand may cause confusion for address location in browsers or manipulation by applications.

Checking Tool

View the directory structure in the WebCMS.
