Purpose

A Social Networking Portal is a web portal that provides a virtual

community for people interested in a particular subject or just to 'hang out'
together. Members create their own online "profile" with biographical data,
pictures, scrap book, likes and any other information they choose to post.
They communicate with each other by chat, instant message and the
service typically provides a way for members to contact with other
members of the portal.

Scope of Project

This project provides a common platform for the users to keep in touch with
their friends and acquaintances. It helps condense the communication gap
between people which is very visible in today’s world.

Conclusion

SO-NET Page 10
 Software Requirement Specification

We can say that the relevance and implementation of a specification, as

distinct from requirements, is easier to understand in a traditional
engineering environment where a tool or utility is to be a part of the overall
solution. In commercial software there are two main issues with the
specification.
Firstly the workflow and the software solution are inseparable. Knowledge
of the software capability (which is flexible) is required before the optimal
workflow can be designed.
Secondly a software specification, that lays out what is functionally
required, can be as detailed as the program code and it is difficult to
maintain the SRS and keep it in step with the software program. Sections
of the SRS look redundant after the software is produced, in that the code
repeats the functional specification. In traditional engineering this is not the
case, the product or component specifications are not documented in a
form that relates to the production, i.e. the engineering specification
consists mainly of measurable attributes that the product needs to satisfy or
parts diagrams of what the product should look like.We have tried to put the
best of our capability to implement the above two mentioned issues in So-
Net.
