Proposed Methodology:
Our micro project review problem Statements, requirement engineering (RE)
steps, SRS function point, decision table and COCOMO model which analyses
the development of software Email. Electronic mail (email or e-mail) is a
method of exchanging messages ("mail) between people using electronic
devices. Invented by Ray Tomlinson, email first entered limited use in the
1960s and by the mid-1970s had taken the form now recognized as email. Email
operates across computer networks, which today is primarily the Internet. Some
early email systems required the author and the recipient to both be online at the
Same time, in common with instant messaging. Today's email systems are based
on a store. and forward model. Email servers accept, forward, deliver, and store
messages. Neither the users nor their computers are required to be online
simultaneously; they need to connect only briefly, typically to a mail server or a
webmail interface for as long as it takes to send or receive messages.
Originally an ASCII text-only communications medium, Internet email was
extended by Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) to carry text in
other character sets and multimedia content attachments. International email,
with internationalized email addresses using UTF-8, has been standardized, but
as of 2017 it has not been widely.

Characteristics of the Micro-project:

On April 1, 2004, Gmail was launched with one gigabyte (GB) of storage space,
a i Significantly higher amount than competitors offered at the time.
On April 1, 2005, the first anniversary of Gmail, the limit was doubled to two
gigabytes of storage. Georges Harik, the product management director for
Gmail, l stated that Google would "keep giving people more space forever."
On April 24, 2012, Google announced the increase of storage included in Gmail
from 7.5 to 10 gigabytes "and counting") as part of the launch of Google Drive.
On May 13, 2013, Google announced the overall merge of storage across
Gmail, Google Drive, and Google+ Photos, allowing users 15 gigabytes of
included storage among the three services.
Users can buy additional storage, shared among Gmail, Google Drive and
Google l Photos, through a monthly subscription plan from Google One. As of
2018, storage of up to 15 gigabytes is included, and paid plans are available for
up to 30 terabytes for personal use.11)
2.
There are also storage limits to individual Gmail messages. One message,
including all attachments, cannot be larger than 25 megabytes.2iThis was
changed in March 2017, to allow receiving of email up to 50 megabytes, with
the limit for sending email staying at 25 megabytes, 13 In order to send larger
files, users can insert files from Google Drive into the message.

Literature Review:
1. Book Name: - Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach
Author: - Roger S. Pressman
Publication Year: - 2015
Context:
The chapters aptly discuss the concepts using ample examples and programs
following al step-wise approach which makes the book a treat for the readers. In
view of complex naturel of topics, the author has designed the book as a self-
study material for the students in his signature style.
Salient Feature:
∑ A guide to software engineering, it focuses on widely used software
engineering methods and will de-emphasize or completely eliminate
discussion of secondary methods, tools and techniques.

2. Book Name: - Fundamentals of Software Engineering

Author: -Mehd Jazayeri, Dino Mandrill, Carlo Ghezzi
Publication Year: -1991
Context:
This book provides selective, in-depth coverage of the fundamentals of software
engineering by stressing principles and methods through rigorous formal and
informal approaches.
Key Features:
∑ Provides numerous approaches examples for software engineering
requirements which can also be used for conducting lab sessions.
∑ Includes case studies on different types of software's, design models,
procedures and customer's requirements.

Actual Methodology:
Identify the problem statement:
A person intending to build a house typically estimates the overall size of the
house in number of square feet. While buying an office table, you may specify
the size as Length x Breadth x Height. Almost every object used in daily lie can
be sized by using one or more parameters. Because software is "soft," It is always
quite difficult to size it as accurately as other material products like a house, a
car, or a television. Software professionals traditionally have been measuring, the
size of software applications by using different methods; Lines-o-Code (LOC) is
the oldest and most popular method used. Whatever the level of approximation,
LOC does give some sense of software size.
Function Point Analysis Method
The Function Point Analysis (FPA) methodology-based estimation model
designed by Allan Albrecht of IBM in 1979, and now owned and continuously
upgraded by IFPUG [2 International Function Point Users Group), is perhaps the
nearest to separating the functions delivered by a product rom the technology
platform on which the product is developed and hence the path to deriving the
total effort and cost to deliver the application. The uniqueness of this FPA
method enables the estimator to clearly size the software application (product)
based purely on the functions that are expected to be delivered by the application.
Perhaps it is due to this unique feature in the FPA method that its popularity and
usage, as compared to other estimation methods, is the highest in the software
developer community. To understand the uniqueness of the FPA method,
consider the example of a mobile phone, as shown in Figure 7.1. From a mobile
phone user's perspective, the various functions the user expects to experience are
∑ To be able to communicate with contacts, friends, and family at will,
irrespective of
physical location and environment
∑ Instant, online access to the directory of contact numbers
∑ Provision to send SMS (text) messages to anyone, any tire
∑ Internet browsing facility
∑ Storing and playing music

The FPA method is built on the premise that the function point (FP) count finally
determined is based totally on the user's perspective of the functions expected to
be delivered with the final product.

Waterfall model of Gmail:
Gmail is a free email service developed by Google. Users can access Gmail on
the web and using third-party programs that synchronize email content through
POP or IMAP protocols. I Gmail started as a limited beta release on April 1,
2004 and ended its testing phase on July 7, 2009
At launch, Gmail had an initial storage capacity offer of one gigabyte per user, a
significantly higher amount than competitors offered at the time. Today, the
service comes with 15 gigabytes of storage. Users can receive emails up to 50
megabytes in size, including l attachments, while they can send emails up to 25
megabytes. In order to send larger files, users can insert files from Google Drive
into the message. Gmail has a search-oriented interface and a "conversation
view" similar to an Internet forum. The service is notable among website
developers for its early adoption of Ajax.
Google's mail servers automatically scan emails for multiple purposes,
including to filter spam and malware, and to add context-sensitive
advertisements next to emails. This advertising practice has been significantly
criticized by privacy advocates due to concerns over unlimited data retention,
ease of monitoring by third parties, users of other email providers not having
agreed to the policy upon sending emails to Gmail addresses, and the potential
for Google to change its policies to further decrease privacy by combining
information with other Google data usage. The company has been the subject of
lawsuits concerning the issues. Google has stated that email users must
"necessarily expect" their emails to be subject to automated processing and
claims that the service refrains from I displaying ads next to potentially
sensitive messages, such as those mentioning race, religion, sexual orientation,
health, or financial statements. In June 2017, Google announced the upcoming
end to the use of contextual Gmail content for advertising purposes, relying l
instead on data gathered from the use. its other services.
