Introduction
1.1
Purpose
Page
This document includes software requirements for E-Learning System. E-Learning System provides a plat
form for the students of University of Education to watch and download online Lectures, download books
and notes. It also provides a facility of view and downloads results for students. Students can also watch
the previous lectures, books and notes and results from the system. Users will also get news regarding their
studies and any informative news that may help them.
1.2
Document Conventions
1.3
When writing this document it was inherited that all requirements have the same priority.
First there is presented an overall view about E-Learning System and then all features and
functions are analyzed in detail.
Intended Audience and Reading Suggestions
This requirement document contains general information about E-Learning System, main classes and use
cases, functions, features and special technologies. It describes in detail all that E-Learning System needs
to work properly and with safety.
The rest of the document is divided into chapters for better understanding.
In chapter 2 an overall description of E-Learning System is provided. First system perspective is
presented with system features and main functions. Then follow user classes and characteristics,
operating environments that E-Learning System supports as well as design and implementation
constraints. After all that user documentation is presented and will provide you with more details
about each features technology.
In chapter 3 system requirements (functional and non functional) are described.
In chapter 4 most important features are presented with detailed description and use cases.
In chapter 5 user and communication interfaces are described.
In chapter 6 requirements about safety and performance are presented.
This document is intended for
Developers: in order to be sure they are developing the right project that fulfills requirements provided in
this document.
Testers: in order to have an exact list of the features and functions that has to respond according to
requirements and provided diagrams.
Users: in order to get familiar with the idea of the project and suggest other features that would make it
even more functional.
Documentation writers: to know what features and in what way they have to explain. What security
technologies are required, how the system will response in each users action etc.
Page
Advanced end users, end users/desktop and system administrators: in order to know exactly what they
have to expect from the system, right inputs and outputs and response in error situations.
1.4
Project Scope
It is very difficult for some student to attend their classes from university, so this system will provide them
the facility of online lectures, books and notes. By this he can fulfill his deficiency in education by
accessing these lectures and notes through internet any where he wants.
It is an online learning system that provides facility to provide lectures, books and useful notes of all
subjects of all programs that university offer for students. It also provide the facility of view the latest

from that website.
Moreover system provides facility to comment or give any kind of feedback about any video lecture,
books, and notes for students.

Overall Description
2.1
Product Perspective
E-Learning System consists of a database which contains data of users. Each users data are divided into
groups and subgroups so that they are organized in a form that serves right the user. Every user has a
unique Master Key which can be simple or composite and its combination opens uniquely the database. If
lost there is no recovery. Groups and subgroups contain entries with usernames, passwords URLs etc that
can be sent or copied to websites, application and accounts.
In the diagram below there are the main components of the system, subsystem interconnections and
external interfaces to help you understand the main idea. All of them are analyzed with more details in this
document.
2.2
Product Features
E-Learning System provides the users with the following features:
Database Open, Close, Save, Search

User can create a new database locked by a Master Key. The database can be opened and
closed whenever user wants it. Changes on the data are permitted and the changes can be
saved. Also the user can search the database using key words through smart links
Group/Subgroup Add, Modify, Delete, Find
Data are organized in groups and subgroups in the order that user wants and finds
effective. Those groups can be modified whenever. New groups and subgroups can be
added easily and can be deleted the same way. The feature of searching can be applied in
just one group and not in the whole database if wanted.
Entry Add, View/Edit, Duplicate, Delete
2.3
2.4

3.2 Non Functional Requirements:

Safety Requirements:
The database s crash at any time certain time due to virus or operating system failure. Therefore, it is
required to take the database backup.
Security Requirement:
We are going to develop a web based Application. There are different categories of users such as
Administrator and students. Depending upon the category of user the rights are decided. It means if the
user is an Administrator then he can be able to add, delete and inserts.
Software Quality:
The quality of software is maintained in such a way so that it can be very user friendly for all users.
Hardware Constraints:
The system requires a database in order to store persistent data. The database should have backup
capabilities.
Software Constraints:
The development of the system will be constraint by the availability of required software such as database
and development tools. Hardware Interfaces will govern the availability of these tools.

System features are organized by use cases and functional hierarchy so that the main functions of the
system will be understandable.
