Development of Web/Mobile Student Calendar App: Requirements Matrix

This assignment presents a requirements traceability matrix for the development of a web and mobile application designed to manage student calendars. The application aims to provide students with access to their yearly timetables, course information, including registered courses, course requirements, lecturer details, assignments, exam dates, and related activities like field trips. The matrix covers both functional and non-functional requirements, incorporating design and testing aspects. It details various functionalities such as user access, mobile device compatibility, student registration, login features, lecturer input of course materials, automated reminders, attendance tracking, database design, and administrative controls. The matrix also addresses system performance, uptime, and data backup strategies, ensuring continuous availability and business process continuity. The document includes test IDs, design considerations, development status, and testing results, serving as a comprehensive guide throughout the application's development lifecycle.

REQUIREMENTS TRACEABILITY MATRIX
This is a requirements traceability matrix for the development of a web and mobile based application for managing student Calendar for a whole year. The
