Ménage Swop


SYSTEM REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATIONS

Title: Ménage Swop



Objective:

Ø  This project is aimed at developing International Home Swappers are a business who put people in touch for the purpose of arranging home swaps and short home lets.
Ø   A typical International Home Swappers client owns a property in one country and wishes to take a holiday of one week or more in another country. 
Ø  International Home Swappers puts people in touch for the purposes of making a reciprocal arrangement.
Ø   The typical arrangement may be exemplified by a person owning an apartment in London who exchanges with an apartment owner in New York.



Existing System:

Swapping is done by contacting a mediator and it is a time taking process.
Time consuming
·       The entire dealing is done by the mediator. The authentication everything is carried out by manual work.
·       Delay in gathering information.
Expensive      
·       The mediator manually going to each place is practically not possible
·       Highly paid to the mediator.
Un-secure
·       The gathered information may not be secure some times.
·       Less authenticity.





Proposed System:

Ø     A typical International Home Swappers client owns a property in one country and wishes to take a holiday of one week or more in another country.
Ø   International Home Swappers puts people in touch for the purposes of making a reciprocal arrangement.
Ø  The typical arrangement may be exemplified by a person owning an apartment in London who exchanges with an apartment owner in New York.

Study of the system:

To provide flexibility to the users, the interfaces have been developed that are accessible through a browser. The GUI’S at the top level have been categorized as
  1. Administrative user interface
  2. The operational or generic user interface

The ‘administrative user interface’ concentrates on the consistent information that is practically, part of the organizational activities and which needs proper authentication for the data collection. These interfaces help the administrators with all the transactional states like Data insertion, Data deletion and Date updation along with the extensive data search capabilities.

The ‘operational or generic user interface’ helps the end users of the system in transactions through the existing data and required services. The operational user interface also helps the ordinary users in managing their own information in a customized manner as per the included flexibilities.

Feasibility Study:

Feasibility Report:

Preliminary investigation examines project feasibility, the likelihood the system will be useful to the organization. The main objective of the feasibility study is to test the Technical, Operational and Economical feasibility for adding new modules and debugging old running system. All systems are feasible if they are given unlimited resources and infinite time. There are aspects in the feasibility study portion of the preliminary investigation:
  • Technical Feasibility
  • Operation Feasibility
  • Economical Feasibility




Technical Feasibility:
The technical issue usually raised during the feasibility stage of the investigation includes the following:
  • Does the necessary technology exist to do what is suggested?
  • Do the proposed equipments have the technical capacity to hold the data required to use the new system?
  • Will the proposed system provide adequate response to inquiries, regardless of the number or location of users?
  • Can the system be upgraded if developed?
  • Are there technical guarantees of accuracy, reliability, ease of access and data security?


Operational Feasibility:
Proposed projects are beneficial only if they can be turned out into information systems, which will meet the organization’s operating requirements. Operational feasibility aspects of the project are to be taken as an important part of the project implementation. Some of the important issues raised are to test the operational feasibility of a project includes the following: -
·       Is there sufficient support for the management from the users?
·       Will the system be used and work properly if it is being developed and implemented?
·       Will there be any resistance from the user that will undermine the possible application benefits?
This system is targeted to be in accordance with the above-mentioned issues. Beforehand, the management issues and user requirements have been taken into consideration. So there is no question of resistance from the users that can undermine the possible application benefits.
The well-planned design would ensure the optimal utilization of the computer resources and would help in the improvement of performance status.

Economic Feasibility:
A system can be developed technically and that will be used if installed must still be a good investment for the organization. In the economical feasibility, the development cost in creating the system is evaluated against the ultimate benefit derived from the new systems. Financial benefits must equal or exceed the costs. The system is economically feasible. It does not require any additional hardware or software. 

Functional Requirements:


Number of Modules

After careful analysis the system has been identified to have the following modules:

  1. Admin
  2. User(s)
Admin
The responsibility of the admin is to maintain the database and the web pages. He is responsible for adding the authenticate members.
User(s)
The user(s) should be two or many. Gets the required information from list placed in the internet .Requests the authenticator if he want any additional information. The forms involved are
1.       Login forms
2.       Searching homes
3.       Adding information of the home.

NON-Functional Requirements:


Software:
       Technology                                    : Java and J2EE 
         Web Technologies                        : Html, JavaScript, CSS
         Web Server                                 : Tomcat 5.5
         Database                                    : Oracle 9i
Hardware:
       Processor                                      : Pentium 
         RAM                                            : 1GB
