1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose

<Identify the product whose software requirements are specified in next chapter, describe the
need for development of the product. State Very abstractly what the system does to fulfill the
needs of the end user. >

1.2 Motivation

<Describe the rationale behind development of the project and selection of the theme of
project.eg. tell about what inspired you to select the topic. And what is the idea.>

1.3 Project Scope

<Provide a short description of the software being specified and its purpose, including relevant
benefits, objectives, and goals. Relate the software to corporate goals or business strategies.
specify the role the project would have after implementation. The possibility of using the project
in solving real world problem eg. Understanding the practical design and implementation issues
of web applications, consolidating various web technologies and integrate these to develop
innovative Rich internet application>

1.4 Literature survey

< After selecting the a relevant topic (project theme), review information from various sources
(books, journals, conference proceedings, web sites, product literature, etc.), and formulate a
coherent report about that topic. Add reference numbers wherever relevant.>

2. Overall Description
Provide the product perspective here. <Describe the context and origin of the product being
specified in this SRS. For example, state whether this product is a follow-on member of a product
family, a replacement for certain existing systems, or a new, self-contained product.>

2.1 Product Features

<Summarize the major features the product contains or the significant functions that it performs or
lets the user perform. Details will be provided in Section 2.3, so only a high level summary is
needed here. Organize the functions to make them understandable to any reader of the SRS.

2.1.1 Functionality Requirements

<Itemize the detailed functional requirements associated with every product feature. These
are the software capabilities that must be present in order for the user to carry out the
services provided by the feature, or to execute the use case. Include how the product
should respond to anticipated error conditions or invalid inputs. Requirements should be
concise, complete, unambiguous, verifiable, and necessary. Use “TBD” as a placeholder to
indicate when necessary information is not yet available.>

<Each requirement should be uniquely identified with a sequence number or a

meaningful tag of some kind.>

REQ-1:

Example: functional requirements to Submit Request for Proposal to Suppliers

REQ-1: Select suppliers to whom the RFP(REQUEST PROPOSAL) will be submitted. These
suppliers should be on the list of qualified suppliers. If they are not, there should be some evidence that
they would be appropriate candidates for performing the work to be subcontracted. See Appendix H,
Guidance for Selecting Suppliers.
REQ-2: Contact suppliers to determine whether they wish to receive the RFP. If so, identify the
individual at the supplier’s site to whom the RFP is to be submitted.
REQ-3: If necessary, execute a nondisclosure agreement with suppliers who wish to receive the RFP.
REQ-4: Deliver the RFP to the suppliers by the most expeditious route, confirming receipt by each
supplier.
REQ-5: Record the list of suppliers to whom the RFP was submitted in the proposal evaluation report.
REQ-6: Respond to questions submitted by suppliers. Communicate clarifications or
corrections concurrently to all suppliers who received the RFP. Revise the RFP as necessary
according to the project’s change control process.

2.2 Operating Environment

<Describe the environment in which the software will operate, including the hardware platform,
operating system and versions, and any other software components or applications with which it
must peacefully coexist.>

2.3 External Interface Requirements

2.3.1 User Interfaces

<Describe the logical characteristics of each interface between the software product and the
users. This may include sample screen images, any GUI standards or product family style guides
that are to be followed, screen layout constraints, standard buttons and functions (e.g., help) that
will appear on every screen, keyboard shortcuts, error message display standards, and so on.
Define the software components for which a user interface is needed. Details of the user
interface design may be documented in a separate user interface specification(manual )
and added in appendix .>

3.1 Design and Implementation Constraints

<Describe any items or issues that will limit the options available to the developers. These might
include: corporate or regulatory policies; hardware limitations (timing requirements, memory
requirements); interfaces to other applications; specific technologies, tools, and databases to be
used; parallel operations; language requirements; communications protocols; security
considerations; design conventions or programming standards (for example, if the customer’s
organization will be responsible for maintaining the delivered software).>

Hints

3.2 Assumptions and Dependencies

<List any assumed factors (as opposed to known facts) that could affect the requirements stated
in the SRS. These could include third-party or commercial components that you plan to use,

Dept. of ISE, RVCE Page 4

Web Programming Mini Project Report Template 2010

issues around the development or operating environment, or constraints. The project could be
affected if these assumptions are incorrect, are not shared, or change. Also identify any
dependencies the project has on external factors, such as software components that you intend
to reuse from another project, unless they are already documented elsewhere (for example, in the
vision and scope document or the project plan).>

Tables are created in MYSQL

Web browser compatible with the versions used.

Plugins used.

3.3 System Architecture

<This section should provide a high-level overview of how the functionality and responsibilities of
the system were partitioned and then assigned to subsystems or components. Don't go into too much
detail about the individual components themselves (there is a subsequent section for detailed
component descriptions). The main purpose here is to gain a general understanding of how and why
the system was decomposed, and how the individual parts work together to provide the desired
functionality.>

6.2 Integration Testing

Integration testing (sometimes called Integration and Testing, abbreviated "I&T" is the
activity of software testing in which individual software modules are combined and tested as a
group. It occurs after unit testing and before system testing. Individual forms which had been unit
tested are integrated and then tested to check whether navigation is possible from one form to the
other in a seamless manner. Thus, the working of connectivity can be tested.
