Introduction
The case study here is a Collins bank’s ATM machine. In this report, we will discuss the inception phase
of the SDLC. This phase includes the initiation of the project. It includes gathering of all the requirements
of the project, modelling of the system, setting environment and estimating the time required. This
phase includes the case study’s analysis, describing concepts, system vision document, requirements
and feasibility analysis (Ambler, 2012).
System Vision Document
Problem Description
The Collins ATM bank requires an ATM machine to facilitate the purpose of the banking. The machine
should have a card insertion slot, a display to display the options to the customers, a keypad so that
customers can interact with the machine, cash dispenser, the printer to print the transactional details
and a chute to allow the customers to deposit cash and cheques.
The user when inserts the card, the machine performs a reading operation to identify the card. If the
card is not identified within five seconds, the session gets destroyed. The user has to insert the card
again. After the identification of the card, the user gets options of what operation he has to perform.
The increase in the number of customers, the use of the machine is increasing. There are certain
problems that are to be reciprocated. The ATM machine needs a continuous storage of the cash. There
are times when the ATM runs out of cash which causes inconvenience to the customers.
The ATM machine does not have the feature of selecting the denominations in which they want the
cash. It is recommendable that the ATM machine should be more users interactive when the user can
select the amount of money to be withdrawn in the terms of the numbers and the denominations he
wants instead of just entering the amount. Also, there could be a voice recognition system that would
guide the machine through the page navigation.
Thus, some of the above problems should be identified in the current system and efforts should be
made in order to eliminate the problems (Priddy, 2017).
