IEEE SRS Format

1.5

Technologies to be used

Programming languages:
HTML, XML: Hyper Text Markup Language and Extensible markup
Language are the predominant markup languages for web pages. It
provides a means to describe the structure of text-based information in a
document and to supplement that text with interactive forms, embedded
images, and other objects.
PHP: A server side scripting language used for database connectivity.

Tools & Development Environment

XAMPP Server: XAMPP stands for Cross-Platform (X) Apache, MySQL,
PHP and Perl, is a popular, free and open source web server package that
you can use to install a web server onto your desktop. XAMPP allows you
to develop PHP and Perl-based server-side scripting applications without
the need for a remote web server, offering you the opportunity to work
faster, develop stuff more securely, and work on your apps without an
internet connection.
The rest of this SRS is organized as follows: Section 2 gives an overall
description of the software. It gives what level of proficiency is expected of the
user, some general constraints while making the software and some assumptions
and dependencies that are assumed. Section 3 gives specific requirements which
the software is expected to deliver. Functional requirements are given by various
use cases. Some performance requirements and design constraints are also given.

Overall Description
Product perspective

The website for recruitment is aimed towards the companies who want to
reach out to the maximum eligible candidates who can provide potential services
to the company. This project envisages bridging the gap between the recruiters
and the candidates. It should be user-friendly, quick to learn and reliable
software for the above purpose. It is intended to be a stand-alone product and
should not depend on the availability of other software. It should run on both
UNIX and Windows based platform Product functions
User: Administrator
Functions: The Administrator is the super user and has complete control over all
the activities that can be performed. The application notifies the administrator of
all new registrations by companies and candidates, and the administrator can then
approve or reject them. The administrator also maintains record of candidate
profiles with results of aptitude tests. The administrator can also view and delete
entries in the guestbook.
User: Recruiters
Functions: Recruiters will have their own portals through which they can see
registered candidates for their recruitment process.
User: Candidates
Functions: Candidate will register on the site and login on candidate portal.
Candidates will be provided with the facility of CV Parsing. Candidates will be
look for companies in which they are interested. Candidates will appear for
aptitude test of corresponding companies. They will be notified about results and
further process on their account login.

Product perspective :This software is totally self contained and works relatively as efficient as other packages

SOFTWARE PROJECT PLANNING

1.

FEASIBILITY STUDY
Feasibility study is the process of determination of whether or not a project

is worth doing. Feasibility studies are undertaken within tight time constraints and
normally culminate in a written and oral feasibility report. I have taken two weeks in
feasibility study with my co-developer. The contents and recommendations of this
feasibility study helped us as a sound basis for deciding how to proceed the project. It
helped in taking decisions such as which software to use, hardware combinations, etc.
Technical Feasibility
Economical Feasibility
Operational Feasibility

1. Technical Feasibility
Technical feasibility determines whether the work for the project can be done
with the existing equipment, software technology and available personnel. Technical
feasibility is concerned with specifying equipment and software that will satisfy the user
requirement.
This project is feasible on technical remarks also, as the proposed system is
more beneficiary in terms of having a sound proof system with new technical
components installed on the system. The proposed system can run on any machines
supporting Windows and Internet services and works on the best software and hardware
that had been used while designing the system so it would be feasible in all technical
terms of feasibility.
2. Economical Feasibility
Economical feasibility determines whether there are sufficient benefits in
creating to make the cost acceptable, or is the cost of the system too high. As this
signifies cost benefit analysis and savings. On the behalf of the cost-benefit analysis, the
proposed system is feasible and is economical regarding its pre-assumed cost for making
a system.
We classified the costs of website according to the phase in which they
occur. As we know that the system development costs are usually one-time costs that will
not recur after the project has been completed.
3. Operational Feasibility
Operational feasibility criteria measure the urgency of the problem or the
acceptability of a solution .

UML (UNIFIED MODELING LANGUAGE)

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a standard language for specifying,
visualizing, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of software systems, as well as
for business modeling and other non-software systems. The UML represents a collection
of best engineering practices that have proven successful in the modeling of large and
complex systems.
Why Use UML?
As the strategic value of software increases for many companies, the industry
looks for techniques to automate the production of software and to improve quality and
reduce cost and time-to-market. These techniques include component technology, visual
programming, patterns and frameworks. Businesses also seek techniques to manage the
complexity of systems as they increase in scope and scale. In particular, they recognize
the need to solve recurring architectural problems, such as physical distribution,
concurrency, replication, security, load balancing and fault tolerance. Additionally, the
development for the World Wide Web, while making some things simpler, has
exacerbated these architectural problems. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) was
designed to respond to these needs.

UML DIAGRAM TYPES

1. USE CASE
A use case is a set of scenarios that describing an interaction between a user and
a system. A use case diagram displays the relationship among actors and use cases. The
two main components of a use case diagram are use cases and actors.

2.4

Use case Model Survey

Given below is an overall picture of the system, as depicted in the above use-case
diagrams:

1. System:

Database Management: Control the database and keep track of all records of
customers and employee details.

Contact and Giving Permission to Corporates: Contact with the vendors and give
permission to sell their product under the site after testing the products quality.

View all details: View the details of all employees and control the whole site.

Advertising the Site: Responsible for making advertisements for the site.

Regulating Payments: Keep track of all the payment transactions made by the
customers and update the payment information.

Consulting with Banks: Responsible for contacting the banks for the validation of
the a/c number provided by the customer while purchasing and make the transaction
from the given a/c.

2. Customers:

Choosing and comparing products: Can view all available products and can
compare them and make a choice for purchasing products.

Purchasing: Can purchase any product through valid credit card.

Giving Feedback to Customer Care: Can give feedback to the 24X7 Customer Care
Service center about their impression for the site and services.

3. Shop Owner:

Taking Permission from Administrator: Vendors must take permission from the
Administrator for selling their products under the site. Administrator will test
products quality according to its market price to permit vendor for selling purpose.

Consulting with Administrator: Can consult with the Administrator regarding

products quality and advertisements.

Advertising Vendors Own Products: Responsible for making advertisements of his

products, but the site will not be responsible for any kind of advertisements about
products.

4. Customer Care:

Getting Feedback from the Customers: Responsible for receiving complaints,

queries and feedback from the customers.

Providing Solutions to Customers: Provide feasible solutions to the customers on

their complaints and queries.

1.1 Assumptions and Dependencies

The details related to the product, customer, payment and service

transaction provided manually.
Administrator is created in the system already.
Roles and tasks are predefined.

3.1

Specific Requirements
This section of the SRS should contain all the software requirements to a level of
detail sufficient to enable designers to design a system to satisfy those
requirements, and testers to test that the system satisfies those requirements.
When using use-case modeling, these requirements are captured in the use cases
and the applicable supplementary specifications. If use-case modeling is not
used, the outline for supplementary specifications may be inserted directly into
this section.
Use-Case Reports

In use-case modeling, the use cases often define the majority of the functional
requirements of the system, along with some non-functional requirements. For
each use case in the above use-case model or subset thereof, refer to or enclose
the use-case report in this section. Make sure that each requirement is clearly
labeled.
3.2

Supplementary Requirements

Supplementary Specifications capture requirements that are not included in the

use cases.

3.3

Performance requirements are:

1. good working pc with all the requirements as stated in the hardware interfaces
2. works for medium size information databases
3. should not be overloaded

4.

Supporting Information
The supporting information makes the SRS easier to use. It includes: a) Table of
contents, b) Index, c) Appendices. These may include use-case storyboards or
user-interface prototypes. When appendices are included, the SRS should
explicitly state whether or not the appendices are to be considered part of the
requirements.

Future Developments :

Support for large database

HTTPS support.

DESIGN PHASE
In the design phase the architecture is established. This phase starts with the
requirement document delivered by the requirement phase and maps the requirements
into an architecture. The architecture defines the components, their interfaces and
behaviors. The deliverable design document is the architecture. The design document
describes a plan to implement the requirements. This phase represents the ``how'' phase.
Details on computer programming languages and environments, machines, packages,
application architecture, distributed architecture layering, memory size, platform,
algorithms, data structures, global type definitions, interfaces, and many other
engineering details are established. The design may include the usage of existing
components.
Architecture

The architecture defines the components, interfaces, and behaviors of the system.
The components are the building blocks for the system. These components may be built
from scratch or re-used from an existing component library. The components refine and
capture the meaning of details from the requirement document. The components are
composed with other components using their interfaces. An interface forms a common
boundary of two components. The interface is the architectural surface where
independent components meet and communicate with each other. Over the interface,

components interact and affect each other. The interface defines a behavior where one
component responds to the stimuli of another component's actions.
