Functional and Non-functional Requirements for a


University Library Management System

Introduction:
A university library management system requires both
functional and non-functional requirements to ensure
efficient operations and a good user experience. Below are
the key requirements for such a system:

Functional Requirements:

o Book Cataloging: Ability to add, update, and delete books.
o User Management: Registering, deleting, and managing user accounts
(students, staff).
o Issue/Return Books: Track books issued and returned by users.
o Search System: Search for books by title, author, or category.
o Notifications: Send alerts for due dates, fines, and reservations.
o Reports Generation: Generate daily, weekly, or monthly reports of
issued/returned books.

Non-functional Requirements:

o Performance: Handle multiple user requests with max response time of 2


seconds.
o Scalability: Ability to scale up as user and book numbers increase.
o Security: Role-based access, encryption of user data, and secure payment
systems for fines.
o Usability: Easy navigation for both users and administrators.
o Reliability: System uptime should be at least 99.9%.

Conclusion:
By fulfilling these functional and non-functional
requirements, the library system will ensure efficient book
management, user satisfaction, and data security.

2. Proposing an Agile Framework for a Company


Transitioning from Waterfall
Introduction:
Transitioning from the Waterfall Model to an Agile
framework offers flexibility, iterative development, and
continuous feedback, which is particularly useful in dynamic
environments.

Framework Choice: Scrum


o Rationale: Scrum offers iterative development and continuous feedback,
making it ideal for managing changing requirements and delivering value
faster.

Key Processes:

o Sprints: Time-boxed iterations (2-4 weeks) where a working product


increment is delivered.
o Daily Standups: Short meetings to assess progress and identify obstacles.
o Sprint Planning and Review: Planning scope for the next sprint and
reviewing the outcomes of the current one.
o Sprint Retrospective: Reflecting on the sprint to learn and improve for the
future.

Adaptability:
Scrum is flexible and allows easier adaptation to
changing requirements, unlike Waterfall's rigid,
sequential structure. For example, a software company
transitioning to Scrum could release working features
after each sprint rather than waiting for the entire
project to finish.

Conclusion:
Scrum is an excellent framework for a company looking to
transition from the Waterfall model, promoting faster value
delivery and flexibility.
3. Comparison of Models in Terms of Risk Assessment
and Risk Management

Introduction:
Each software development model approaches risk
assessment and risk management differently, impacting the
project’s adaptability to change and uncertainty.

later ones

Conclusion:
While the Waterfall model struggles with addressing risks
late in the process, Agile and Spiral models focus on
continuous risk management, making them better suited for
projects with changing requirements.

4. Significance of Requirement Negotiation in


Software Development

Introduction:
Requirement negotiation plays a vital role in ensuring that
client expectations align with technical and financial
constraints during the software development process.

Example:
A company is developing a retail website. Initially,
stakeholders request advanced features like complex
filtering and multiple payment gateways. However, the
development team points out that some features are
costly and time-consuming.

Requirement Negotiation:
After discussion, both parties agree to prioritize critical
features (e.g., payment gateways) and defer less
essential ones (e.g., advanced filtering) to later phases.

Significance:
This negotiation ensures that development efforts are
focused on delivering core functionality within time and
budget constraints while meeting the client’s immediate
needs.

Conclusion:
Requirement negotiation balances the needs of the client
with the practical limitations of the development team,
ensuring a feasible and successful project outcome.

5. Quality Assurance Methods in Software


Engineering

Introduction:
Quality assurance (QA) methods are essential to ensuring
that the software developed meets both functional and non-
functional requirements while maintaining high standards of
reliability and performance.
 Methods:
Code Reviews: Peer review of code to catch bugs
and ensure quality before deployment.
o

 Effect: Reduces defects early in development, improving code


reliability.
 Example: Tech giants like Google and Facebook use code reviews
to maintain high-quality standards in large teams.

Automated Testing: Running unit, integration,


and regression tests automatically.
 Effect: Speeds up testing and ensures that software remains
functional after updates.
 Example: Automated testing is widely used in CI/CD pipelines,
ensuring fast and continuous testing.

Continuous Integration (CI): Automating the


integration and testing of code changes in real-
time.
 Effect: Detects errors early, ensuring faster delivery of high-quality
software.

User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Final testing by


end users to ensure the software meets their
requirements.
 Effect: Ensures client satisfaction by validating that all
requirements are fulfilled before release.

Static Analysis: Analyzing code without executing


it to find potential errors like code complexity.
 Effect: Improves code maintainability and reduces future risks.
