TreeCo. Mobile Application Development Project

This document provides an overview of the TreeCo. Mobile Application Development Project, including its purpose, scope, product overview, user characteristics, limitations, and specific requirements. The project aims to develop a mobile-based application named TreeManager to establish proper communication between customers and TreeCo. The application will be developed for both Android and iOS platforms and will include features such as registration, login, purchase, and after-sale support. The main target audience of the application is keen gardeners, particularly those aged forty to sixty. The system has certain limitations, such as the inability to process thousands of customer requests simultaneously and the lack of a website interface. The document also includes references, external interfaces, functions, performance requirements, logical database requirements, design constraints, software system attributes, verification, and appendices.

1. Introduction:
1.1 Purpose:
The purpose of the project is to develop a mobile
based application. The project aims to establish
proper communication between the customers and
TreeCo through the application named TreeManager.
1.2 Scope:
The scope of the project are as following.
i. Establishing an effective and
efficient communication medium
between customer and organization
ii. Developing a system for mobile
devices
iii. Concentrating development focus
on general public section of the
business
iv. Providing good quality aftersales
service
v. Developing a database that can
store all the business related data
1.3 Product overview:
The product will be developed for both the
android and iOS platform. The user interface of the
application will be very easy to understand and user.
The application will integrate registration and login
functions. The application will have different type of
authorization levels.
1.3.1 Product perspective:
The product will be developed based on the
requirements of the customer. The customers
complaint a lot because they do not understand how
to maintain a garden. The system is developed
basically for suggesting the customer about which
trees are best suited for which environment. One
other perspective of the application is to provide
continuous after sale service by giving suggestions.
1.3.2 Product functions:
The application will have the following functions.
Registration: The system will store the customer
details in a database. In order to register into the
system, the customer needs to fill the registration
form. The form will ask various personal questions.
Moreover, through the form, the customer can decide
the login id and password for login.
Login: The system will allow a registered user
only to access the system. In order to get access to
the system, the customer will input the login id and
password into the login form and submit it. The
system will verify the input data to complete the
login process.
Purchase: The customer can purchase the trees
from the application. The customer will provide data
regarding tree type and tree approximate age into the
system along with quantity to make a purchase.
After Sale Support: System provides extensive
after sale support to the customer through the
application by sharing data of how to maintain good
health of the trees.
1.3.3 User Characteristics:
The main target audience of the application is
keen gardener of every age. However, most
customers are of age forty to sixty. They are well
educated and mostly associated with jobs rather than
business. All the customers are from local area.
1.3.4 Limitations:
The system cannot simultaneously process
thousands of customer’s requests. The customer
cannot access the system through a website for now.
This limits the system availability in mobile devices
only. The application does not include heavy
processing such as suggesting gardening pattern for
year after year.
1.4 Definitions:
The mobile based e-commerce is the commercial
transaction that is done electronically through mobile
phone.
The after sale service is referred to the support a
customer gets from the organization after they have
bought the product.

3. Specific requirements:
3.1 External interfaces:
User Interface: The system will have different
user interface for different functions. The customer
will login, register, purchase and do other tasks from
different pages.
Hardware Interfaces: A server system connected
with a database server. A firewall between server and
system.
Software Interface: There are three software
interface for the system such as programmatic
interface, message interface and database interface.
3.2 Functions:
Registration: The system will store the customer
details in a database. In order to register into the
system, the customer needs to fill the registration
form. The form will ask various personal questions.
Moreover, through the form, the customer can decide
the login id and password for login.
Login: The system will allow a registered user
only to access the system. In order to get access to
the system, the customer will input the login id and
password into the login form and submit it. The
system will verify the input data to complete the
login process.
Purchase: The customer can purchase the trees
from the application. The customer will provide data
regarding tree type and tree approximate age into the
system along with quantity to make a purchase.
After Sale Support: System provides extensive
after sale support to the customer through the
application by sharing data of how to maintain good
health of the trees.
3.3 Usability Requirements:
The usability requirements that the system will be
look forward to measure are learnability,
performance, productivity, accessibility, user
friendliness, error tolerance and user engagement.
3.4 Performance requirements:
The system should be able to execute more than
hundred requests simultaneously. The system should
response to each customer request within 1 second
maximum.
3.5 Logical database requirements:
The database can be accessed from a single
source. The database will be allocated more than
10gb for first three months of deployment. The
database will be deployed in a location from where
remote access is possible.
3.6 Design constraints:
The main design constraint is making the
application interface identical for both the android
and iOS platform. Another design constraint is the
architecture of the system that can support quick
processing of data for a low budget server.
3.7 Software system attributes:
The software system attributes are availability,
correctness, maintainability and usability. The
correctness and usability is given the most priority
among these four attributes.
3.8 Supporting information:
4. Verification:
Based on the information provided into the
System Requirement Specification document, the
system will be extremely robust and can handle user
requests quickly. The system will allow remote
access for the users.
5. Appendices:
5.1 Assumptions and dependencies:
The main assumptions that has been made are as
following.
i. The project will face no resistance
from the employee
ii. Customers do not need any training
to access the system
iii. The system can process the user
requests and give reply in most
cases
