1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose

This online system is developed for management of projects which includes marking, allocating
advisors,   grading,   getting   ideas   and   other   activities   performed   during   project   developing.   This
document contains detailed requirements needed to implement the software and it had the complete
description of requirements for the software (online project marking system).

1.2 Document Conventions

BOLD FACE is used to introduce a new topic. The rest of the document is written in TIMES NEW
ROMAN.

1.3 Intended audience and reading suggestions

Reader would get following understandings:

 Understanding of product including its functional and non­functional requirements
 Its features 
 How it works 

This document is developed for different readers like :

 Developers focuses on sections 2,3and 4 
 Project managers focuses on section 2
 User will how the project works that is included in section two and four

1.4 Product Scope

Online project marking system is developed in replacement of PUMS (the existing web-based project
marking system) and old paper work system. As the project includes marking process and supervisor
allocating and gives ideas to students about their projects and this is online and reliable and easier to
use so this increases efficiency of system in Different project making and marking processes.

4.3 Design and Implementation Constraints

This system is designed using existed code and database from previous system and Struts 1.2.x.,
J2EE 1.4 and J2SE 5.0

5. External interface requirements

5.1 User Interfaces

The themes and structure used in web pages are clear and attractive .to reduce amount of input from
user and error prone checkboxes, radio buttons and other GUI elements are used. If system error
occurs it provides provide contacts methods .user can change his details, submit project ideas and
view progress and submit project .The System also provides a feedback from users.

5.2 Hardware Interfaces

On server side this web application will be hosted on the Linux server ; and it is connected to Oracle
Database server .while on user side the computer is needed that should have an Internet connection
in order to be able to access the website.

5.3 Software Interfaces

At server side an Apache web server handles and accepts the requests from the user. A development
of database will be hosted locally (local host) using MySQL and the production database is hosted
over the Oracle. On user side an OS must running a web browser which supports HTML 3.2 or
higher.

6. Other Nonfunctional Requirements
