2. Overall Description
2.1 Product Perspective
The product we are creating will be stand-alone in that it will not be part of a larger
application. The product will be comprised of HTML, Flash, and ASP.NET. A web
browser such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer 5.0 or later, on the user's
computer.
o Administrator: Someone with the ability to modify and delete entries into
the system. Ideally, there will be administrators with privileges to modify
only specific data like payment mode. Administrators will be responsible
for quality control; they will review entries into the system before they are
accepted. This person will also most likely be affiliated with our clients.
o Data entry operator: An identified, accountable user who may enter
sighting information into the system through web-based sighting wizards.
o Clients (Power Users): Someone who has been granted more access to the
database. Those can upload their updated data directly to the database.
o Anonymous Users: Someone accessing the system with read-only
privileges. That is, they may search information that has been gathered
into the system, but may not enter data into or modify data already
contained within the system. This user may also be anyone from any
background.
2.4 Operating Environment
The environment in which the software will operate is listed below
Hardware Platform:
Processor : Pentium 4
RAM : 256MB
Hard Disk : 40 GB
Operating System : Windows XP
Software : . NET Framework 1.1
Database : SQL server 2000
2.5 Design and Implementation Constraints
Language Requirements:
Front end : ASP.NET
Back end : SQL server 2000
Server : Internet Information Services (IIS)
Hardware Requirements:
Processor : Intel Pentium IV
RAM : 256MB
Operating System : Windows XP
o The product will require a powerful database server capable of storing and
querying large amounts of data.
o The database must be able to return answers quickly to the queries entered by
users via the UI (no more than 5 seconds average wait time).
o The product will require a web server and a dynamic content server capable of
serving dynamic pages in response to user data entry. Serving a regular page
(without maps or query results) should have no more than 1-3 seconds average
wait time. Serving a graphics page (one with maps), should have no more than 5
seconds average wait time. The wait times are rough estimates based on prior
usability studies provided by one of our team members.
