ITAP2013 Software Engineering Assignment: Dining Closely Report

This report presents a Software Requirement Specification (SRS) for the 'Dining Closely' mobile application, designed to help users discover nearby restaurants. The application allows users to search based on criteria like price and cuisine, book tables, pre-order food, and make online payments. The report outlines functional and non-functional requirements, stakeholders, and project management aspects, including a 50-day agile development timeline with defined deliverables and milestones. It includes a Gantt chart, use case diagrams (search restaurants, order food, add restaurant details, and manage user information), class diagrams, and user interface designs. The report also addresses project constraints, assumptions, quality control, and potential risks and costs. It also includes bibliography and relevant diagrams.

1. Software Requirement Specification
1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this project is to develop a mobile based application system that would
help the users to find out restaurants in the local area they stay in. The application that is being
proposed in this requirement specification is a mobile application that would help the users to
book table in the restaurants available, to select their preferred dish before vising the restaurant
to avoid the waiting time and the users can even manage to pay for the process online so that
they do not have to pay at the restaurant.
1.2 Scope
The scope of the project is develop a mobile based application system that would be
secured and safe to store the data of the customers and the restaurants in the database. This
project will detail the design of the application system that would help the users to search all the
nearby restaurant and the service that are offered by the restaurants.
1.3 Definitions
SRS: The SRS is known as detailed description that is to be provided in developing the
application software. The SRS will include the function requirement of the system along with the
non-functional requirement with the system (Lewis, 2017). The SRS includes agreement
between the developers and the contractors who are included in the system development.
2. Constraints
The constraints that are considered for this project are:

2SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
1. The project should be completed within scheduled time and budget that is fixed as the
project schedule by the project manager.
2. The project will only include the resources who are specified in the project schedule.
3. The project should also support all the functional and non-functional requirements that
are assumed for the project.
3. Assumptions
1. The application system should be robust and is expected to be secured from any type
of data breach.
2. The project is assumed to be completed using the agile approach of project
management.
3. It is assumed that the users in the testing phase will provide valid response to the
application system.
4. The system will be efficient for the users as it would find all the restaurants in the areas
of search.
4. Requirements
4.1 Functional Requirements
The mobile application functional requirements are:
1. The system will be able to take the details of the customer at the time of login in the
system.
2. The system will also take the input of the restaurants from the owners stating the
details of the restaurants.

3SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
3. The system will provide the administrator an interface so that they can verify the
restaurants and can approve the information uploaded by the restaurant owners.
4. The system can also take the access of the live location of customer so that it can show
the restaurants in that location.
4.2 Non-Functional Requirements
The mobile application non-functional requirements are:
1. The system will be robust and will support all the users.
2. The system will be available all the 24 hours until when the restaurants will be
serviceable.
3. The system will be secured and safe to keep the customer and the restaurant in the
system.
4. The system will also have a good interface so that the users and admin can access the
system efficiently.
5. Stakeholders
The stakeholders who are associated with the project are project sponsors, project
manager, the business advisors, supervisors, team lead, suppliers, testing manager, testers, the
users, developers, programmers, quality manager, system administrators, and communicators.
6. Project Management
6.1 Time
The total time that is scheduled for the developing the Dinning Closely mobile
application is 50 days. The project will be developed with project management approach and the

4SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
particular approach that will be used to develop this application system will be agile
methodology. This methodology is mainly used for developing this project because it includes
higher customer satisfaction while developing the project. There are six phases in the developing
process of the application and 50 days are divided into different phases of the project life cycle.
6.2 Deliverables and Milestones
The project deliverables that states the project completion is shown below in the diagram.

Project Signoff 0 days Fri 11/10/19 Fri 11/10/19
6.3 Quality
The quality of the project should be checked with the quality manager associated with the
project. The project quality manager will be able to test the quality of the application by the
testers and update the system accordingly.
6.4 Risk
The risks that are included in developing the mobile application are:
1. For developing the mobile application software, the time and the schedule cannot
remain the same. The schedule and the budget might change with the development process.

7SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
2. The requirement of the user might also change in the testing phase that is done by the
users. The users might add some features in the application so enhance the features of the
application.
3. There might be risks that the stakeholders or the key personnel in the project might
leave the project in middle. This will result in delaying in the project schedule.
6.5 Cost
The total cost of completing the project within schedules time and with the schedule
resources allocated is $73,040. The initial budget provided to the project management to
complete the project will be the estimated budget. If the project gets complete within the
specified budget, the project will be considered to be as the ideal project.
