Software Requirements Specification

1.0 Introduction:

The purpose of the project is to build an Online Polling System which shall maintain the

Eclipse – Integrated Development Environment

Server – WAS Websphere Application Server 6.0

1.6 Overview: The SRS will include two sections, namely:

Overall Description: This section will describe major components of the system, interconnections, and external interfaces.

Specific Requirements: This section will describe the functions of actors, their roles in the system and the constraints faced by the system.

2.0 Overall Description:

2.1 Product Perspective:

The Web Pages are present to provide the user interface on client side. Communication between client and server is provided through HTTP/HTTPS protocols.

HTTP/HTTPS

TCP/IP

Web

SQL

HTML Client

Client Software (System User)

Client Side Application Server

Database Server



The client software is to provide the user interface on system user client side and for this TCP/IP protocols are used.

On the server side web server is for Web pages and database server is for storing the information.

2.2 Software Interface:

Client on Internet: Web Browser, Operating System(any)

Client on Intranet: Client Software, Web Browser, Operating System(any)

Database Server: DB2 Express-C, Operating System(any)

Development End: WSAD (J2EE, JAVA, Servlets, HTML), DB2, OS (Windows), Web Server

2.3 Hardware Interface:

Client Side Software Processor RAM Disk Space Internet Explorer 6.0(or higher)

Pentium III at 1 GHz 128 MB 100MB

Server Side WAS Pentium III at 1 GHz 512 MB 1 GB DB2 Express-C Pentium III at 1 GHz 512 MB 1 GB

2.4 Product Function:

Candidate Information All the information in respect of the candidate of that locale shall be displayed on site.

Voting The voter has to be registered first and should have the right to vote for his locale only and from any mobile location he wants. The candidates of that locale shall be displayed with full profile.

Quick Supervision The votes are not biased and can be managed easily with such a system. The data is also secured.

2.5 User Characteristics:

User has to well verse with the use of computer (mainly access of internet and use of web browser). He need not have any knowledge about the programming.

2.6 Constraints:

GUI is English only.
