3.1 User Classes and Characteristics

The intended group for Accuweather.com wont require special expertise or any special experience
at all. They only require fundamental computing skills and fundamental knowledge of how to use
Internet web pages.
3.2 Operating Environment

Accuweather is an weather update application. We can download it on any android/apple device .
AccuWeather's forecasts and warning services are based on weather information derived from
numerous sources, including weather observations and data gathered by the National Weather
Service and meteorological organizations. This application is linked with Google maps so it can
find our current location tell us about the weather, temperature etc. Since this is a weather forecast
application, graphics don’t matter much but still accuweather’s graphics are quite good. It takes 41
MB of total space

lOMoARcPSD|24091226
3.3 Design and Implementation Constraints

As we know that accuweather is a weather forecast application so the major design constraint is the
mobile platform. This application is more concerned with their accuracy about the prediction. And
being one of the very accurate sites. Graphics are not one of the top priorities. As the application is
actually designed for mobiles so the resolution for the product and the screen size limitation will be
a big design consideration. Therefore to design an interface that will attract the user eye and is easy
to navigate will be a tough job. As the mobiles have limited processing speed and storage memory
so these things should be under consideration while implementation process. The product is meant
to be quick even when a large amount of users are interacting with it, so each of the functionality
should be design and implemented while promising the efficiency of the product.
3.4 User Documentation

Accuweather will be designed in such a way that it should be very much easy to use and will be very simple
navigate with. However the user of the product might face some difficulties while using it. In order to
overcome these problems the product the product will provide its users with a functionality that is FAQ.
All the frequently asked questions are answered there. And if user’s question is not there they can ask us in
feedback option.
3.5 Assumptions and Dependencies

Our product will depend on some dependencies. There are two types of dependencies (internal and external).
Internal Dependencies:
The product will be only depending upon hardware which is the only internal dependency that we have to
care about.
Hardware Dependency
Some of the features of accuweather will rely on some of the hardware components of the android mobile
systems. First the app will be depending upon the memory of the android mobile systems. Therefore the
product installation will be depending upon available storage memory in the android mobiles. It also
depends on the location. We can manually put in our location to check weather. But we turn on our location
services, things will be way easier.

lOMoARcPSD|24091226
4. External Interface Requirements
4.1 User Interfaces

Graphical (GUI)
This system will provide a graphical user interface. The layout of the system will be a homepage of the app
with a header on the top which displays the name of the website, under that their will be a navigation bar to
go to related pages and have buttons to login and to go for help, under the navigation bar we have the main
body which displays the live weather stream on one half of the page and displaying forecast on the other
half, and at the end of the page their will be a footer which displays the contact information.
4.2 Hardware Interfaces

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.>
4.3 Software Interfaces

The software interfaces that will be used are Visual Studio and SQL Management Studio. Visual Studio will
