Software Requirements Specification

1.0 Introduction:
1.1 Purpose:

E-mentoring is a relationship that is established between a more senior individual

(mentor) and a lesser skilled or experienced individual (mentee), primarily using electronic
communications, and is intended to develop and grow the skills, knowledge, confidence, and
cultural understanding of the mentee to help her succeed.

1.2 Scope:

We know support in the workplace increases staff recruitment and retention. We

also know mentoring is an effective support mechanism which increases staff job satisfaction
and reduces workplace stress and burn out. However, geographical and professional isolation can
make it difficult to access a mentor, let alone an appropriate mentor.

This is where e-Mentoring comes into its own. E-Mentoring is a mentoring using
online communication tool ranging from email, text messaging, web conferencing and web cam.

“We must open the doors of opportunity. But we must also equip our mentee to walk through
those doors.”

2.2. Software interfaces :

E-MENTORING FOR WOMEN is a multi-user, multi-tasking environment.

It enables the user to interact with the server and attain access to the Internet and also leaves a
recording the inbuilt database. It uses java servlets as the front end programming tooland SQL as
the backend application tool.

2.3 Hardware Interface(example):

The server is directly connected to the client systems. Also the client hasthe access to the
database for accessing the account details and storing the logintime.
The client access to the database in the server is only read only

2.4 Product Function

Hephaestus will contain six main phases. The first five phases cover its span of the product
lifecycle, and the sixth evaluates the effectiveness of Hephaestus as a development process.

Certain phases may be either broken down further, or combined, in order to address scalability
concerns. All phases are iterative; changes in any phase may necessitate changes in previous
phases. Details will be explicitly spelled out in the Hephaestus User Document.

The phases listed below and the line items in Figure 1 are not intended to be isomorphic. Figure
1 shows a possible breakdown of a product lifecycle.

 Requirements Phase

 This is the initial phase of the development process wherein the development team works
closely with the customer to determine the customer's requirements for the product. The
requirements phase identifies the functionality, performance levels, and other
characteristics which the product must satisfy in order for it to be acceptable to the
customer. N.B. The requirements developed in this phase serve as a foundation for the
remaining phases of the development process, and as the customer acceptance criteria.

 Architecture Phase

VYCET-MENTORING/VRS&YRN COLLEGE 8
 E-Mentoring for women Version 1.0
Software Requirement Specification
Vycet-Mentoring

 During this phase of the development process, the development team will use the
requirements identified in the Requirements Phase to design the system architecture. The
architectural specification, which is the end result of this phase, will provide a general
overview of how the system will function, identifying the system's components, their
roles and interactions with each other and interactions with any other related systems.
 Detailed Design Phase

 During this phase the design team uses both the Requirements Specification and the
Architectural Specification provided by the previous phases to develop a detailed design
of the system. This design will provide a detailed specification for each component,
thoroughly describing interfaces and functions provided by each component. This
detailed design will serve as the basis for the implementation phase.

 Implementation Phase

 During this phase of the project, the actual product is developed using the documents
created in the previous phases. The product will then be tested to ensure that it meets the
requirements defined in the Requirements phase.


User Characterstics:

The users of the Hephaestus Process fall into 3 broad categories: DCNS Development staff,
DCNS Development management, DCNS Development customers.

The primary users of Hephaestus are DCNS Development staff: full-time permanent staff,
voucher employees, and part-time student staff (UROP). Development staff possess skills and
experience which exhibit a wide variety of talents and backgrounds, ranging from users who
have had very little experience with a structured development process to those who have worked
many years within such a process (usually in other environments). Development staff will be
involved extensively in all phases of the development process.

The management side of DCNS Development understands the benefits of structured

programming and an organized development process. Management will be involved to some
extent in all phases of the development process. One of management's responsibilities in the
process is to facilite and ensure compliance with the Hephaestus process. It is expected that both
DCNS Development management and staff will derive great benefit from a structured
development process, increasing productivity and product quality.

Customers of DCNS Development services will also be occasional or frequent users of the
Hephaestus Process. Their perspectives may be different though, depending on their roles as
participants in the process or upon the level or amount of service they require. These
perspectives include those of the documentation group, who may be involved in the creating the

documentation of a product; the operations group, who may be involved in maintaining a server
component of the product; user support, who may be involved in supporting the product for the
end user; and the end user, who will of course be using the product.

Customers may or may not understand the benefits of an organized development process,
depending on their background and the urgency of the service they require. Customers will be
involved intensely in some phases of the Hephaestus Process. It is expected that customers will
benefit greatly from the development process, in terms of improved quality and predictability of
service.

2.6 Constraints

Hephaestus will adhere to all Institute policies.

Architecture Design

During this phase of the development process, the development team will use the

requirements identified in the Requirements Phase to design the system architecture. The

architectural specification, which is the end result of this phase, will provide a general overview

of how the system will function, identifying the system's components, their roles and interactions

with each other and interactions with any other related systems.
