SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION
INTRODUCTION
SRS is the document that completely describes what the proposed software should do without describing how the software will do it. The basic purpose of SRS is to bridge the communication gap between the parties involved in the development of the software. SRS is a medium through which the client and the user needs are accurately specified. A good SRS should satisfy all the parties – something very hard to achieve and involves trade-offs and persuasion. Another important purpose of developing an SRS is helping the user to understand their own needs.
The main advantage of SRS is
• It establishes the basis of agreement between the client and the supplier on what the software product will do.
• It provides a reference for validation of the final product.
PURPOSE
The purpose of SRS is to describe the external requirement of project. The main purpose is to translate the ideas in the mind of client into a formal document. SRS is the medium through which the client and user needs are accurately specified to the developer. Through SRS, the client clearly describes what it expects from the proposed system and the developer clearly understands what capabilities to build in the software. SRS helps the client determine if the software meets the requirements.
The purpose of this project is to automate the office work. The current system in the office is a manual system which includes paper document. In such a system its very difficult to keep track of all the records. Our project aims at creating an application which will automate the processes in a college office.
SCOPE
The name of the project is “OFFICE AUTOMATION”.
Our project “OFFICE AUTOMATION” aims at creating an application which will automate the processes in college office. Using this it is possible to keep a database of college information like information about the students studying in various courses, employee information in various departments, staff and non staff details etc. Transaction involving fee and salary is also stored. Fees receipts are generated for students. Reports are maintained for future usage. Search engine is used to search required information.
DEFINITIONS, ACRONYMS AND ABBREVIATIONS
