1.Introduction
1.1Purpose
The main objective is to create a task manager/planner that is easy to use while still offering a
very feature-rich experience.

1.2DocumentConventions
<Describe any standards or typographical conventions that were followed when writing this SRS,
such as fonts or highlighting that have special significance. For example, state whether priorities
for higher-level requirements are assumed to be inherited by detailed requirements, or whether
every requirement statement is to have its own priority.>

1.3IntendedAudienceandReadingSuggestions
This document is intended for developers as well as general users of Android phones.

1.4ProjectScope
The product being developed is a task manager/planner for the Android platform. It will include
capabilities to add/remove tasks, map locations, and get directions via GPS to the user's
destination. The application will also be integrated with the calendar feature.

2.OverallDescription
2.1ProductPerspective
This product is a new, self-contained product.

2.2ProductFeatures
To-do list with capabilities to add map locations through Google Maps and/or GPS.
Option of specific times, but not necessarily.

SoftwareRequirementsSpecificationfor<Project>

Regular scheduling - Events that repeat on a weekly basis.

Reminder pop-ups - ringtones on phone can be used for customizability.
Remote access - through Google Calendar or some other way.
Adding through events from something like Facebook? (wishlist)
Voice, either prerecorded or through text to speech. (wishlist)
Capability to record messages as reminders on the calendar.

2.3UserClassesandCharacteristics
The typical user of an Android phone is the most favored user.

2.4OperatingEnvironment
The application will be running on top of the Android platform.

2.5DesignandImplementationConstraints
We expect to run into time constraints, hardware constraints, and memory constraints. Among
these memory constraints we expect to see limited buffer size and limited virtual memory.

2.6UserDocumentation
<List the user documentation components (such as user manuals, on-line help, and tutorials) that
will be delivered along with the software. Identify any known user documentation delivery formats
or standards.>

2.7AssumptionsandDependencies
<List any assumed factors (as opposed to known facts) that could affect the requirements stated
in the SRS. These could include third-party or commercial components that you plan to use,
issues around the development or operating environment, or constraints. The project could be
affected if these assumptions are incorrect, are not shared, or change. Also identify any
dependencies the project has on external factors, such as software components that you intend
to reuse from another project, unless they are already documented elsewhere (for example, in the
vision and scope document or the project plan).>

3.SystemFeatures
<This template illustrates organizing the functional requirements for the product by system
features, the major services provided by the product. You may prefer to organize this section by
use case, mode of operation, user class, object class, functional hierarchy, or combinations of
these, whatever makes the most logical sense for your product.>

3.1Add/RemoveTasks
3.1.1

DescriptionandPriority
The application will allow the user to add or remove tasks and will interface with the
calendar feature. This is of the highest priority.

3.1.2

Stimulus/ResponseSequences
<List the sequences of user actions and system responses that stimulate the
behavior defined for this feature. These will correspond to the dialog elements
associated with use cases.>

3.1.3

FunctionalRequirements
<Itemize the detailed functional requirements associated with this feature. These
are the software capabilities that must be present in order for the user to carry out
the services provided by the feature, or to execute the use case. Include how the
product should respond to anticipated error conditions or invalid inputs.
Requirements should be concise, complete, unambiguous, verifiable, and
necessary. Use TBD as a placeholder to indicate when necessary information is
not yet available.>
<Each requirement should be uniquely identified with a sequence number or a
meaningful tag of some kind.>

4.ExternalInterfaceRequirements
4.1UserInterfaces
The main user interface will be the Android calendar with the ability to create and remove tasks.
We also expect the application to integrate with the Android maps and GPS interfaces.

4.2HardwareInterfaces
<Describe the logical and physical characteristics of each interface between the software product
and the hardware components of the system. This may include the supported device types, the
nature of the data and control interactions between the software and the hardware, and
communication protocols to be used.>

SoftwareRequirementsSpecificationfor<Project>

Page4

4.3SoftwareInterfaces
<Describe the connections between this product and other specific software components (name
and version), including databases, operating systems, tools, libraries, and integrated commercial
components. Identify the data items or messages coming into the system and going out and
describe the purpose of each. Describe the services needed and the nature of communications.
Refer to documents that describe detailed application programming interface protocols. Identify
data that will be shared across software components. If the data sharing mechanism must be
implemented in a specific way (for example, use of a global data area in a multitasking operating
system), specify this as an implementation constraint.>

4.4CommunicationsInterfaces
<Describe the requirements associated with any communications functions required by this
product, including e-mail, web browser, network server communications protocols, electronic
forms, and so on. Define any pertinent message formatting. Identify any communication
standards that will be used, such as FTP or HTTP. Specify any communication security or
encryption issues, data transfer rates, and synchronization mechanisms.>

5.OtherNonfunctionalRequirements
5.1PerformanceRequirements
Performance requirements with coincide with the Android platform limitations.

5.2SafetyRequirements
<Specify those requirements that are concerned with possible loss, damage, or harm that could
result from the use of the product. Define any safeguards or actions that must be taken, as well
as actions that must be prevented. Refer to any external policies or regulations that state safety
issues that affect the products design or use. Define any safety certifications that must be
satisfied.>

5.3SecurityRequirements
<Specify any requirements regarding security or privacy issues surrounding use of the product or
protection of the data used or created by the product. Define any user identity authentication
requirements. Refer to any external policies or regulations containing security issues that affect
the product. Define any security or privacy certifications that must be satisfied.>

5.4SoftwareQualityAttributes
<Specify any additional quality characteristics for the product that will be important to either the
customers or the developers. Some to consider are: adaptability, availability, correctness,
flexibility, interoperability, maintainability, portability, reliability, reusability, robustness, testability,

SoftwareRequirementsSpecificationfor<Project>

and usability. Write these to be specific, quantitative, and verifiable when possible. At the least,
clarify the relative preferences for various attributes, such as ease of use over ease of learning.>

6.OtherRequirements
<Define any other requirements not covered elsewhere in the SRS. This might include database
requirements, internationalization requirements, legal requirements, reuse objectives for the
project, and so on. Add any new sections that are pertinent to the project.>

AppendixA:Glossary
<Define all the terms necessary to properly interpret the SRS, including acronyms and
abbreviations. You may wish to build a separate glossary that spans multiple projects or the entire
organization, and just include terms specific to a single project in each SRS.>

AppendixB:AnalysisModels
<Optionally, include any pertinent analysis models, such as data flow diagrams, class diagrams,
state-transition diagrams, or entity-relationship diagrams.>

AppendixC:IssuesList
< This is a dynamic list of the open requirements issues that remain to be resolved, including
TBDs, pending decisions, information that is needed, conflicts awaiting resolution, and the like.>
