Answer / monika

The waterfall model seems an ideal choice here. No other
model seems a reasonable alternative to accept as a
different answer.
Strengths:
1. The company is large and bureaucratic, requiring
documentation and good
project visibility. Waterfall documentation satisfies this.
2. The company has a high staff turnover. So probably many
employees are
new and inexperienced. Waterfall works well with
inexperienced staff.
3. The application type is well known to the company, so a
thorough user
requirements analysis should be possible early on.
4. An existing application is to be re-engineered. This also
confirms that the
user requirements are known early. They could be extracted
from the existing application.
5. The company will maintain the software, so good
documentation will be essential.
6. The company has a good reputation to maintain in this
area, so quality control will be essential. Waterfall
emphasis of requirements-before-design and
design-before-coding will emphasise quality.
Weaknesses:
Waterfall has no obvious weaknesses on this project.
1. We may end up swimming upstream, but the chances seem
minimal since the requirements should be clear from the start.
2. Late arrival of code may be one, but on the other hand
our client may be able to continue using the existing
application until the new system arrives.

Solution 1(e) SRS for system Overview
The Software Requirements Specification (SRS) begins the
translation process that
converts the software requirements into the language the
developers will use. The SRS
draws on the use-cases from the User Requirement Document
(URD) and analyzes the
situations from a number of perspectives to discover and
eliminate inconsistencies,
ambiguities, and omissions before development progresses
significantly under
mistaken assumptions.

Solution1(f) Develop Test Plan Document :
In a software development project, errors can be injected at
any stage during development. The development of software
involves a series of production activities where
opportunities for injection of human fallibilities are
enormous. Because of human inability to perform and
communicate with perfection, software development is
accomplished by a quality assurance activity. Testing is a
process which reveals errors in the program. It is the major
quality measure employed during software development. During
testing, the program is executed with a set of test cases
and the output of the program for the test cases is
evaluated to determine if the program is performing as it is
expected to perform.
Scope:
This document describes all the tests taking place for JKC
Release 1.0. It covers the design elements specified in the
OOD and the detailed modeling elements of the system being
tested. References User requirements document, Software
Requirements specification document. Detailed design
document. IMSF
Testing Objective:
Testing is a process of executing a program with the intent
of finding an error.A good test case is the one that has a
high probability of A successful test is one that finding an
as-yet undiscovered error. uncovers an as-yet undiscovered
error.
In order to make sure that the system does not have errors,
the different levels of testing strategies that are applied
at different stages of software development are:
_ Unit Testing.
_ System Testing.
Unit Testing:
Unit testing is done on individual modules as they are
completed and become executable. Unit testing treats each
component as stand-alone entity which does not need other
components during the testing process.
System Testing:
This involves in-house testing of the entire system before
delivery to the user. Its aim is to satisfy the user. The
system meets all the requirements of the client’s specification.
