All of the actors mentioned in the use case model summary are reported here. Table 1 delineates and describes the actors that interact with the system. UML Diagram 1 depicts a visual representation of the actors described in the summary.
Actor Name Description

User

Novice

Professional

System

There are two main types of users: novice users and professionals. Sometimes, however, this distinction is not relevant, so a generic user is useful for abstracting away the details. A novice user is one who is either new to the system or new to personal financial management. It should be noted, however, that a user might be both a novice and a professional at the same time. For example, a person might know quite a bit about finances, but very little about the Vesmark Smartware system. A professional user is proficient in both the Smartware system and is knowledgeable about personal finance. Some sections of the software will be specifically tailored to each type of user. At times, the system may interact with itself; hence, the system is also an actor.

4 Requirements
Iterative, use-case driven requirements engineering methods were used for requirements elicitation. The high-level requirements were obtained during the first iteration. In the following iterations each of these high level requirements were narrowed down to specific

Software Requirements Specification

low-level system requirements. These low-level requirements were documented as use cases, presented in Appendix A.

4.1

Functional Requirements
The system will have UI screens allowing the user to enter his demographic information. The demographic information can be grouped into the following categories and each of these categories will have a separate UI for data entry: o o o o o Personal Information Spouse Information Children Information Address Information Risk Tolerance

The system will allow users to enter the simulation mode and select one of the seven predefined inflation/deflation modes. The system will always work with the current Inflation rate as applicable in the country. In order to achieve this, the system will have to try to fetch the current inflation rate from external pre-designated data sources on a periodic basis. The system will have UI screens through which the user can enter his gross income (beforetax income). The system will have UI screen allowing the user to enter his tax related information, categorized as follows o o o o Federal tax FICA tax State Tax Local Tax

For each of the above-mentioned taxes, there may be separate UI screens. The system will have UI screens for entering information about cost of living expenses. The system will allow the user to categorize his expenses as follows: o o o o o o o o Food and Beverages Housing Apparel and Upkeep Transportation Medical care Recreation Education and Communication Other Goods and Services

Software Requirements Specification

Each of the above categories may have separate UI screens. The user will have the option of either entering each of the expenses in detail or he can enter the total for each of the categories. The system will allow the user to enter his short term and long-term goals. The data entry will be Just-in-Time, meaning that if some information is not available, the system invokes the appropriate UI screens allowing the user to enter that data. The system must implement Vesmarks patented Five Step Model, which allows the system to analyze the financial data entered by the user and produce financial reports such as: o o o Balance Sheet Report Five Year Projection Report Goal Status Report

4.2

Nonfunctional Requirements
Usability
The system has to be user friendly and appealing in nature. However, no specific quantified data about screen layouts is currently available.

Reliability
The system must implement the patented Five Step model, ensuring that the system does calculations and generates reports exactly as mentioned in the patent.

Performance
Performance is the response time, utilization, and throughput behavior of the system. This attribute may not be as important as initially thought. The efficiency aspect of the usability quality attribute should be sufficient for the needs of this software. Because this software is interactive with the user, it need only be as fast as the user and not provide any lag time.

Supportability
Currently, the level of supportability has not been specified. However, since Vesmark intends to license Smartware to other financial institutions, it is essential for Smartware to have clearly defined, published interfaces, allowing those financial institutions to support Smartware in the future.

Security
The level of security provided in this system has not been quantified. However, the system will communicate with other software systems over the Internet, and therefore, it is an important consideration. Additionally, it is important to consider the security of the data stored on the local computer.

Software Requirements Specification

5 Online User Documentation and Help System Requirements


Online help can give users instant assistance in using the program as well as advice on topics for which they want additional information. The nature of the online help system is unique to application development, as it combines aspects of programming, such as hyperlinks, with aspects of technical writing, such as organization and presentation. The development of an online help system is a project within this project and will benefit from upfront scope management and planning activities. More details will be specified in a separate SRS for the help system. However, the software must definitely support an easy to use and immediately available help system, especially in the educational mode.

6 Design Constraints
There are no specific design constraints for Smartware as of now.

7 Purchased Components
No third party components have been purchased specifically for Smartware. However, as development of the product begins, it may become necessary to purchase third party development tools or components. As specified in the Statement of Work (SOW), any additional development costs will be incurred by either Carnegie Mellon University or Vesmark, as jointly decided by both parties before the cost is incurred.

8 Interfaces
8.1 User Interfaces
Smartware must have a user interface that makes it appealing and easy to use. Currently, Team Matrix has developed a whiteboard prototype that has served as a visual paradigm for the team requirements gathering process. Team Matrix also intends to utilize the Human Computer Interface (HCI) expertise available at CMU during the spring and summer 2003 semesters to refine the existing whiteboard prototype. This will ensure that the user interface is appropriate for the potential users of the system.

8.2

Hardware Interfaces
Not Applicable

8.3

Software Interfaces
Vesmark intends to license the Smartware software to financial Institutions who will make it a part of their suite of financial products. Smartware will be designed to have well defined, published interfaces that would allow these financial institutions to integrate it into their products. Smartware will have to interact with other existing systems in order to fetch financial data such as inflation rate, Consumer Price Index (CPI), etc. These interactions should be encapsulated in well-defined interfaces in order to reduce the coupling between Smartware and other financial systems.

Software Requirements Specification

8.4

Communications Interfaces
Smartware will interact with other software systems in real-time over the Internet. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the de-facto standard protocol used for communication over Internet. Hence, Smartware must be TCP/IP compliant and will be able to communicate (send and receive data packets) with the designated TCP/IP nodes on the Internet.

9 Licensing Requirements
Licensing issues are comprised of three categories. First, there is software licensing for the Vesmark product itself. Secondly, there are issues involved with third party licensees where the Vesmark product will be co-branded. Both of these issues will be driven by Vesmark and AF&A. Thirdly, there is an issue of licensing with respect to any third party software component that might be incorporated into the actual Vesmark product. To date, there are no such license requirements. However, this requirement cannot be determined until the complete Vesmark system has been defined.

Table 3 Use Case Entity Naming Conventions

A sequential number, which may be split into ranges to aggregate logical groupings within the functional scope. Oftentimes, this logical grouping is simply a way of avoiding numbering conflicts when the work is split up among the team.

For example, the label UC-DE-100 defines the first data entry use case specification within the 100s logical group. Each use case has a specification and may have accompanying UML diagrams if they provide any additional information or clarification.

UC-DE-0s Generic Data Entry Use Cases


Use Case Hierarchy
Since many of the use cases share common traits, several global use cases have been defined which allow a clearer and more concise prose when reading and writing specific use cases. A diagram depicting the hierarchy of the use cases is shown in UML Diagram 2.

Use Case ID: UC-DE-45 Use Case Name: Import Information Questions: Handling Multiple Field Proposed Solution: Importing. A suggestion to solve Since the system handles this is to create an just-in-time data entry, how importing clipboard should we handle importing that allows importing of when possibly only one field information from is requested? Importing only various external one field at a time is not programs. This efficient. How do we want to clipboard would save handle this? all relevant information in the background and not commit it to actual data fields. If duplicate values (from multiple import sites) exist, the clipboard would allow multiple values. As each field is required by the system, the imported values would be displayed to the user and he could select the appropriate value for the requesting field. Do we want to allow just importing by file name, or do we want to be more intelligent and allow a user to specify, Get assets from Quicken and have the program find and extract all necessary information?

UC-DE-100s Demographic Information Use Cases


Demographic Information Overview
There are basically two types of demographic information: address and personal information (such as name, birth date, etc.). The primary user has his personal information, but the same information is collected for his spouse and children. Therefore, a use case detailing the gathering of personal information is applied for the primary user and reused in a slightly modified way for the spouse and children. These relationships are shown in UML Diagram 5.
