Q1:
Purpose of this Assignment:
Establish the high-level requirements for a software product
Problem:You are to determine the user requirements for a web phone-mail product.
The primary purpose of this product is to give phone-mail users (e.g., faculty and
staff) the ability to access the functionality of the phone-mail system from a web page.
In general, the product should enable users of the phone-mail system to do their usual
phone-mail activities via a web page.
You will need to determine what are those activities, in the form of product
requirements.
Customer: You will need to assume the role of a hypothetical customer to identify the important user-
level requirements. You will also need to assume the roles of engineer and user in order to develop the
full requirement specification.
See the requirements supplement for an outline of what you need to do.
1. Determine requirements for the web phone-mail interface. This should include any requirements
that you think are necessary or very desirable in order to meet the customer needs.The initial
requirements should include 10 functional requirements and 10 nonfunctional requirements.
2. Evaluate these requirements. Do your requirements satisfy the eight criteria: Understandable,
Verifiable, and Independent of implementation, Consistent, Complete, Unambiguous,
Realistic, and Necessary? Explain your answers. Weed out any requirements that you do not
think are good user requirements.
3. Prioritize the requirements as to whether they are (1) absolutely necessary, (2) desirable, or (3)
optional.
4. Assume there is a development team of 5 programmers and this product is to be delivered in 6

months. What are the primary risks associated with implementing a product that meets your
requirements?
5. System requirements. Pick one of your user requirements, and translate it into a list of system
requirements. These should be specific enough that the engineering team can design the software
that will meet these requirements.
You should submit your responses to the above 5 questions in one

document.
Solution:
Requirements.
Because the web phone mail system is to provide the basic functionality of the existing system, it should
probably include most of the following:
 Users will be able to review the set of messages in their mailbox

 Access to the user's mailbox will be password protected
 The messages that are new messages will be identified.
 Users can delete and save messages in the mailbox
 Users can forward a message to another user.
 Users can listen to a message
Some additional capabilities like the following are plausible. These are probably of lower priority.
 Date and time and message length will be shown for each message in the mailbox
 Users can pause, fast forward, rewind, and stop the messages that are playing.
 Users can reply to a message if they have a microphone attached and they are on campus.
 Users can change their password.
 Users can change their answering message (if they have a mike and are on campus).
Some of the nonfunctional requirements might include:
 (Performance) Response time should be interactive (< 6 seconds delay to play a message) if
users are on campus.
 (Security) Communication should be secure (e.g. with encryption)
 (Reliability) e.g. single user failures will not crash the entire system
 (Maintainability) - Design will include provisions for periodic software updates
 (Security) - Unattended sessions will require re-login
 (Usability) - Users will be able to access the mailbox
2. Requirement evaluation.
All the above requirements satisfy the 8 criteria: Understandable, Verifiable, and Independent of
implementation, Consistent, Complete, Unambiguous, Realistic, and Necessary.
3. Prioritization.
The first six functional requirements are high priority. All of the above non-functional requirements are of
high priority; none of them are optional.
4. Risks:
There is a significant risk that the programmers will not be able to produce the product in time, especially
if they are not experienced. Other likely risks include the likelihood that the customer will change the
requirements, or that some of the staff will leave, or that the funding will be cut.
5. System requirements:
Review mailbox contents. When user requests "view mailbox" the mailbox contents will be transparently
encrypted and transmitted to client browser.
 A locking mechanism will guarantee that only one user session can update the
mailbox at one time.
 All user accessible fields of the phone-mail database will be displayed and selectable
in an html form
 Users will select action to perform by mouse click.
 After action is selected, user input will be validated for correctness before converting
to a proposed database update.
 User display will be updated displaying proposed changes before allowing more user
input actions.
 Database updates will be finalized when user logs out.
