Students can also apply for leave.

Parents:

Parents can view the attendance status of their children. They can check the results and contact teachers regarding any queries. They also get notifications about the events happening at school.

General Constraints :

Technology Constraints:

Proposed web application can be implemented with PHP/Flask for back end design purpose. HTML/CSS for front end design purpose.

Interface Constraints :

Since this is a web based application it should work on major browsers like Internet explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera etc.

Safety and Security Constraints :

Since the application is intended for the authenticated users only, anonymous person should not be able to access and operate over the user data.

External Interface Requirements :

User Interface:

• Website should be user friendly.
• It should be easy to navigate.
• A decent and pleasant appearance with ease of navigation.

Software Interface:

The communication between client and server is asynchronous. This will help to handle a large amount of users simultaneously. The portal should support all major web browsers that will make it convenient for the user to access our system with ease.

Hardware Interface :

The hardware requirement at the user end is simple and the portal will be available on the hardware that can run a basic simple browser, provided the hardware should be competent enough during peak times for the web servers.

Other Non-functional Requirements :

Performance Requirements :

As mentioned earlier, the portal should be able to operate on all major web-browsers with all of its fundamental functions. It should not slow-down the system even at peak hours without affecting the quality of service of the system.

Security Requirements :

The system should provide a secure login to the users by using advanced secure login algorithms and provide access only to the authorized users as security is the key requirement of this system. This system uses a database application, hence the 'Weak Authentication' threat is taken care of.

Software Quality Attributes :

System should be-

➢Consistent in performance

➢Safe and Secure

➢Robust

➢Scalable

➢Flexible

➢User friendly

➢Efficient

➢Inter-operable

➢Upgradable

➢Available all the time.
