Certainly!
The Requirement Analysis section of your capstone project is crucial as it lays the foundation
for your system’s design and development. Here’s a detailed outline you can follow:
Requirement Analysis
1. Introduction
Purpose: Explain the purpose of the requirement analysis and its importance in the project
lifecycle.
Scope: Define the scope of the analysis, including what will be covered and any limitations.
2. Stakeholder Analysis
Identification of Stakeholders: List all the stakeholders involved in the project (e.g., users,
clients, developers, administrators).
Stakeholder Needs: Describe the needs and expectations of each stakeholder group.
3. Functional Requirements
User Authentication and Authorization: Details on how users will register, log in, and manage
their accounts.
Data Management: Requirements for creating, reading, updating, and deleting data.
Reporting and Analytics: Specifications for generating reports and analyzing data.
Notification System: Requirements for notifying users about important events.
User Interface: Design and usability requirements for the system interface.
Security Features: Measures to ensure data security and user privacy.
4. Non-Functional Requirements
Performance: Requirements related to the system’s performance, such as response time and
throughput.
Reliability: Requirements ensuring the system’s reliability and availability.
Scalability: Requirements for the system to handle growth in users and data.
Usability: Requirements for the system’s ease of use and user experience.
Maintainability: Requirements for the system’s maintainability and ease of updates.
Security: Additional security requirements beyond functional needs.
5. System Requirements
Hardware Requirements: Specifications for the hardware needed to run the system.
Software Requirements: Specifications for the software environment, including operating
systems, databases, and other dependencies.
Network Requirements: Requirements for network connectivity and bandwidth.
6. Use Case Analysis
Use Case Diagrams: Visual representations of the system’s use cases.
Use Case Descriptions: Detailed descriptions of each use case, including actors, preconditions,
main flow, alternative flows, and postconditions.
7. Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs)
Context Diagram: A high-level DFD showing the system’s interaction with external entities.
Level 1 DFD: A more detailed DFD breaking down the main processes within the system.
8. Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM)
Purpose: Explain the purpose of the RTM in tracking requirements throughout the project
lifecycle.
RTM Table: A table mapping each requirement to its corresponding design, implementation,
and testing phases.
9. Conclusion
Summary: Summarize the key points of the requirement analysis.
Next Steps: Outline the next steps in the project, such as moving on to system design.
This outline should help you structure your Requirement Analysis section effectively. If you need more
specific details or examples for any part, feel free to ask!
Sure, I can help with that! Here’s a brief overview of what you might include in the Functional
Requirements section of Chapter 3 in your capstone project:
Functional Requirements
1. User Authentication and Authorization
o Description: The system must allow users to register, log in, and log out securely.
o Functionalities:
User registration with email verification.
Secure login with password encryption.
Role-based access control (e.g., admin, user).
2. Data Management
o Description: The system should manage data efficiently, including creation, retrieval,
updating, and deletion (CRUD operations).
o Functionalities:
Add new records to the database.
Retrieve and display records.
Update existing records.
Delete records with confirmation.
3. Reporting and Analytics
o Description: The system should generate reports and provide analytics based on user
data.
o Functionalities:
Generate summary reports.
Display data visualizations (charts, graphs).
Export reports in various formats (PDF, Excel).
4. Notification System
o Description: The system should notify users about important events or updates.
o Functionalities:
Send email notifications.
Display in-app notifications.
Manage notification preferences.
5. User Interface
o Description: The system should provide an intuitive and user-friendly interface.
o Functionalities:
Responsive design for different devices.
Easy navigation and accessibility.
Consistent layout and design elements.
6. Security Features
o Description: The system must ensure data security and user privacy.
o Functionalities:
Data encryption in transit and at rest.
Regular security audits and updates.
User activity logging and monitoring.
These are just examples to get you started. You can tailor these requirements to fit the specific needs
and scope of your project. If you need more detailed examples or have specific functionalities in mind,
