1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose

The purpose of this System Requirements Specification is to outline the functional, nonfunctional and business requirements of the Student Registration System of Rajarata
University of Sri Lanka. The document provides a detailed overview of the software product, its parameters and goals.
The requirements are documented in such a way that facilitates developers to understand
the functionality to be developed along with the constraints they meet. The document
would also provide assurance to the client that the development team has fully understood the needs of the system and would also support in validating the product delivered.

1.2 Scope

The main objective of the Student Registration System is to allow internal students of the
university to register for a new semester via internet. The system will maintain 3 categories
of user accounts in performing the tasks. They are namely Super user, Administrator
and Student.
The Super User is given supreme privileges in the system and therefore is able to do
anything in the system. S/he will also control the privilege access matrix of Administrator
and Student accounts. The Administrators are of different levels of privilege depending
on the tasks they perform. The administrators are entitled to manage other user accounts,
to make amendments to subjects, to add new subjects and also to view student details.
Students are of the lowest privilege level with only being able to register for a new semester, edit or view profile information, view previous and current semester information
and to view notifications.
All 3 categories of users must login to the system with the user name and the password
to perform any of the operations. Other than the above mentioned 3 user categories the
system will also allow guest users. However the guest users can only view the results of a
particular student by entering the student registration number and the index number.
Since the existing registration process is a manual one, the proposed Student Registration
System will increase the efficiency of the registration process quite significantly while
3|Page

providing time and cost benefits. Furthermore it will provide a sophisticated system for
the enrollment thus enhancing the decision making process of the administration.

1.3 Intended Audience

The document is designed for the developers of the system, ICT academic staff, and administration of faculty of applied sciences and also for any party who is interested.

1.6 Overview of the Document


The next chapter of the document is on functional requirements of the system. It covers required
features of the software product and the services it provides in detail using Activity diagrams,
use case diagrams.
The 3rd chapter of the SRS is on non-functional requirements. This includes the emergent system
properties and constraints on the system such as reliability, portability, response time.
The 4th chapter includes Entity relationship diagram and class diagram.
The Final chapter includes the verification and validation methods used in the Student Registration System.

7. Verification and Validation


Verification and Validation is a process that should be applied to all stages of the software
development life cycle.

7.1 Verification
Verification is the process of assuring that the software meets its specifications. This is a human
based approach to ensure that the software is as per the requirements specification.

Validity check :

Checking the extent to which the requirements of each stakeholder is met and the compromises
made.

Consistency check :

Checking whether the requirement contradict with each other.

Completeness check :

Checking whether the SRS covers all the functional requirements of the Student Registration
System

Realism check :

Checking whether the identified requirements can be met with the existing technology, budget
and time constraints.
To perform the above checks we will be using the following activities.

Requirements review :

This approach is where the requirements are analyzed by a review team systematically. The
review team will be consisting of members of the development team and academic and nonacademic staff members.

Inspection :

This is involves a team of inspectors who will be given the code and associated documents to
discover errors. The inspection team will consist of some of the developers and representatives
of the client.
48 | P a g e

Walkthroughs :

This is an informal approach which involves both developers and the client of the Student
Registration System. This will be helpful in achieving a common understanding and to gather
feedback.

7.2 Validation
This is the dynamic mechanism of validating and testing the Student Registration System. This
involves executing the code.

Prototyping :

An executable model of the Student Registration System will be given to the client and the end
users. The prototype then will be used to identify necessary changes to the requirements.

Test case generation :

Test cases are generated based on test scenarios produced. There will be number of test
scenarios for the Student Registration System on which test cases are developed.
e.g.: Checking the functionality of the login button.
The test cases for this scenario will be:
o
o
o
o
o

Click the button without entering the user name and password
Click the button after only entering user name
Click the button with wrong username and wrong password
Click the button with correct username and wrong password
Click the button with correct user name and correct password

Component Testing :

The different components of the Student Registration System is tested in Isolation.


e.g.: Login component: test whether the component can check the validity/invalidity of a given
username and password.

49 | P a g e

Integration Testing :

Testing the system for correct interactions between the system components. This will be done
by developer/testers with the use of test cases. Integration testing will discover the
inconsistencies in the combination of components.
E.g.: testing whether login component route to the student component without causing
problems when a student successfully login to the system.

Stress Testing :

This is the test which is performed to test how a system behaves when it fails. Stress testing is
carried by exercising the system beyond its maximum design load or by taking away resources
to identify the breaking point.
e.g.:
o Test how the system reacts when 125users/sec log in to the Student Registration System.
o Shut down or restart of network ports randomly
o Turning the database on and off

Security Testing :

This involves testing the Student Registration System in order to identify flaws and gaps from
security and vulnerability point of view. The following aspects of the system is tested under
security testing;
o
o
o
o
o

Confidentiality
SQL insertion attacks
Data security
Authorization
System is according to all security regulations
