SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Introduction
Headspace is a popular health organization in New South Wales that treat people with
mental illness. This is the type of information system, which can eventually store the various
details about young individuals, between the age group of 18 and 25 (Botta et al., 2016). All
of these patients are continuously asked regarding the mental issues they are facing. Thus,
they are highly disturbed with this type of continuous interaction with the health experts,
doctors and nurses. The project of New Access would be providing a distinct information
system, which can store the stories when they are narrated for the first time. The patients as
well as the various doctors, health experts and nurses will be highly benefitted from this type
of information system (Herbst, Kounev & Reussner, 2013). The treatment will be extremely
easier for all the health experts and even the data is updated properly. This report will be
describing the project of New Access and their non functional requirements of FURPS.
Moreover, a proper cloud based solution will also be provided here and the most suitable
SDLC approach will be recommended in the report.
Discussion
1. Non Functional Requirements
The various respective non functional requirements are responsible for helping to
accurately and perfectly identify all types of important and noteworthy qualities in an
information system (Hashizume et al., 2013). One of these non functional requirements is
FURPS or functionality, usability, reliability, performance and security. System operation is
judged by these requirements. The details for New Access project are provided below:
1.1 Functionality
It is the major non functional requirement in New Access project of Headspace
organization. This particular project would provide the most updated and up graded

information regarding the mental health of the young patients. This system would stop them
from discussing their issues repeatedly to the doctors. Furthermore, data accessibility and up
gradation is much more easier with the proper implementation of New Access in Headspace.
Adaptability is the significant feature in New Access system.
1.2 Usability
It is another non functional requirement that depicts about the overall usability of the
New Access project. This effectiveness and efficiency of the project is properly maintained
with this (Botta et al., 2014). The proper uses of the project for the betterment of Headspace
organization are the major features of this usability. The ability of learning is also enhanced
by this. A completely user friendly infrastructure and interface is yet another significant
usability feature.
1.3 Reliability
This reliability is checked in New Access project in the organization of Headspace
and it is a major non functional requirement. Only accurate and reliable data are updated
within the system and also the health professionals solve the other issues of the patients with
much security. Data management is also done from reliable sources in this system.
1.4 Performance
The overall performance of the New Access project in the Headspace organization is
being checked after confirming that the data is genuine here. This type of data accuracy hence
provides good performance (Gupta, Seetharaman & Raj, 2013). Providing emergency
services is another measure for performance in New Access. The total response time is much
lesser here.
