structured into different career clusters, each of which contains a wide array
of careers that the student can view, search, and compare. Additionally, the
owner will have administrative privileges that will allow him/her to
create/update/delete careers and clusters as well as user control. Once a
student has logged in, they will be able to search the various careers and see
important information, such as the career’s wages, projected growth, and
education that’s typically required. The student will also have access to a chat
system that will help them troubleshoot any technical issues that they may be
having.

Section titles use bold, size 16 font. Subsections use bold, size 14 font. All

This document is primary technical and designated for project managers,

developers and testers. Since our application will ultimately be client-facing
and be very easy and intuitive to use, this SRS will be for developers who are
interested in adding additional functionality and for people who are interested
in improving it.
