 CHAPTER 3: REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS

• Properly defined requirement specifications are crucial for

system analysis and development.
• With clear specifications, it becomes feasible to design a system
that aligns with the intended environment and meets its needs.
• Users of the current system play a significant role in providing
these requirements, as they are the ones who will ultimately
interact with the new system.
• Capturing these requirements early in the process ensures that the
system can be designed to meet the users’ expectations from the
start.

3.1 Problem Definition

The current online learning platforms often fail to provide
personalized learning experiences tailored to the specific needs and
learning styles of individual users. Additionally, users struggle to
find relevant resources that match their unique learning goals,
leading to disengagement and suboptimal learning outcomes.

The primary problems that this website aims to address are:

1. Lack of personalization: Current platforms often fail to offer

learning paths tailored to individual preferences, goals, and skill
levels.
2. Resource relevance: Users struggle to find learning materials that
match their specific needs, leading to frustration and
disengagement.

21
 3. Requirement gathering: Capturing precise user requirements
early in the process is essential to create a system that meets user
expectations.
4. User adaptation: The platform needs to adapt to different learning
styles and environments to enhance learning outcomes.

3.2 System Requirements

The system must support personalized learning experiences by

capturing and analyzing user inputs, such as learning goals,
preferences, and current skill levels. It should have a robust
recommendation engine to suggest tailored learning paths and relevant
resources. Additionally, the system must be scalable to accommodate
various learning styles and accessible across multiple devices. Secure
data handling is essential to protect user information, and the system
should be user-friendly, offering intuitive navigation and features to

3.3 Requirement Specification:

§ Requirements Analysis is the first stage in the systems engineering

process and software development process.
§ Requirements analysis in systems engineering and software
engineering, encompasses those tasks that go into determining the
needs or conditions to meet for a new or altered product, taking
account of the possibly conflicting requirements of the various users.

3.4 Planning and Scheduling

The success of the Learn Loop website project depends on detailed planning
and efficient scheduling. The planning phase begins by thoroughly
understanding the project’s objectives, which center around creating a
personalized learning platform that connects users with tailored educational

24
resources. This requires clearly defining the project scope, identifying key
stakeholders (students, educators, and administrators), and gathering
requirements from users to ensure the platform addresses their diverse learning
needs.

In developing the project plan, a comprehensive timeline is created, breaking

down the project into specific phases such as initiation, planning, design,
development, testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance. Each phase is
crucial to the success of the project and demands careful attention to ensure that
tasks are completed within the established timeline and budget constraints.

Scheduling involves the careful allocation of tasks and resources across these
phases. Tools like Gantt charts are used to visualize the timeline, showcasing
task dependencies and highlighting important milestones. For example, during
the design phase, wireframes and user experience (UX) mockups are developed,
which guide the development phase where front-end and back-end
functionalities are built and integrated. This parallel workflow enhances
efficiency and ensures the project stays on schedule.

Regular meetings and updates are held throughout the project lifecycle to track
progress, address challenges, and revise plans as needed. This iterative and agile
approach allows the team to adapt to any changes or unforeseen issues, ensuring
the project remains on course.

Ultimately, the planning and scheduling of the Learn Loop website project are
structured to foster collaboration, increase productivity, and ensure the timely
delivery of a user-friendly platform. The platform is designed to adapt to
individual learning preferences, provide personalized resources, and enhance
the learning experience. Through careful execution and clear communication,
the Learn Loop project aims to revolutionize how users engage with
educational content, promoting effective, goal-oriented learning.

25
3.4.1 Waterfall Model:

Design Waterfall approach was first SDLC Model to be used widely in

Software Engineering to ensure success of the project. In "The Waterfall"
approach, the whole process of software development is divided into
separate phases. In this Waterfall model, typically, the outcome of one phase acts
as the input for the next phase sequentially. The following illustration is a
representation of the different phases of the Waterfall Model.

26
The sequential phases in Waterfall model are :-

• Requirement Gathering and analysis − All possible requirements of the

system to be developed are captured in this phase and documented in a
requirement specification document.
• System Design − The requirement specifications from first phase are
studied in this phase and the system design is prepared. This system design
helps in specifying hardware and system requirements and helps in defining the
overall system architecture.
• Implementation – With inputs from the system design, the system is first
developed in small programs called units, which are integrated in the next
phase. Each unit is developed and tested for its functionality, which is
referred to as Unit Testing.
• Integration and Testing − All the units developed in the implementation
phase are integrated into a system after testing of each unit. Post integration the
entire system is tested for any faults and failures.
• Deployment of system − Once the functional and non-functional testing is
done; the product is deployed in the customer environment or released into
the market.
• Maintenance − There are some issues which come up in the client
environment. To fix those issues, patches are released. Also to enhance the
product some better versions are released. Maintenance is done to deliver these
changes in the customer environment. All these phases are cascaded to each
other in which progress is seen as flowing steadily downwards (like a waterfall)
through the phases. The next phase is started only after the defined set of goals
are achieved for previous phase and signed off, so the name "Waterfall Model".
In this model, phases do not overlap.

3.6 Conceptual Models

3.6.1 Class Diagram:-

Class diagram is a static diagram. It represents the static view of

an application. Class diagram is not only used for visualizing,
describing, and documenting different aspects of a system but
also for constructing executable code of the software application.
Class diagram describes the attributes and operations of a class
and also the constraints imposed on the system. The class
diagrams are widely used in the modelling of object oriented
systems because they are the only UML diagrams, which can be

30
 mapped directly with object-oriented languages. Class diagram
shows a collection of classes, interfaces, associations,
collaborations, and constraints. It is also known as a structural
diagram. The purpose of class diagram is to model the static view
of an application. Class diagrams are the only diagrams which can
be directly mapped with object-oriented languages and thus
widely used at the time of construction.

The purpose of the class diagram can be

summarized as –
• Analysis and design of the static view of an .
• Describe responsibilities of a system.
• Base for component and deployment diagrams.
• Forward and reverse engineering.
Class diagram notations are:

1.Class:

Classes represent the central objects in a system. It is

represented by a rectangle with up to 3 compartments. The Lirst
one shows the class’s name, while the middle one shows the
class’s attributes which are the characteristics of the objects. The
bottom one lists the class’s operations, which represents the
behaviour of the class.

Simple Class

31
2.Interface:

The interface symbol in class diagrams indicates a set of

operations that would detail the responsibility of a class.

3.Package:

The package symbol is used to group classes or interfaces that

are either similar in nature or
related. Grouping these design elements using the package

interact with the system under speciLic sets of circumstances. These
stories might be narrative texts, task outlines or interactions,
template-based descriptions or diagrammatic representations. Use
case diagrams to depict software or systems from the end user’s point
of view. The Lirst step in writing a use case diagram is to deLine the set
of “actors” that will be involved in the story. An actor is anything that
communicates with the system or product and that is external to the
system itself. Once the actors have been identiLied, use cases can be
developed.

3.6.3.Flowchart

A Llowchart is a diagram that depicts a process, system, or

computer algorithm. They are widely used in multiple Lields to
document, study, plan, improve and communicate often complex
processes in clear, easy-tounderstand diagrams. Flowcharts,
sometimes spelled as Llow charts, use rectangles, ovals, diamonds,
and potentially numerous other shapes to deLine the type of step,
along with connecting arrows to deLine Llow and sequence. They
can range from simple, hand-drawn charts to comprehensive
computer-drawn diagrams depicting multiple steps and routes. If
we consider all the various forms of Llowcharts, they are one of
the most common diagrams on the planet, used by both technical
and non-technical people in numerous Lields.

 3.6.4 Activity Diagram

An activity diagram visually presents a series of actions or flow of

control in a system Similar to a flowchart or a data flow diagram.
Activity diagrams are often used in business process modelling. They
can also describe the steps in a use case diagram. Activities mode led
can be sequential and concurrent. In both cases an activity diagram
will have a beginning (an initial state) and an end (a final state). In
between there are ways to depict activities, flows, decisions, guards,
merge and time events and more.

Components of Activity Diagram:

Initial State or Start Point A small filled circle followed by an

arrow represents the initial action state or the start point for any
activity diagram. For activity diagram using swim lanes, make
sure the start point is placed in the top left corner of the first
column.

Initial State or Start Point

• Activity or Action State

An action state represents the non-interruptible action of objects. You
can draw an action state in Smart Draw using a rectangle with
rounded corners.

Action state

38
• Action Flow
Action flows, also called edges and paths, illustrate the transitions
from one action state to another. They are usually drawn with an
arrowed line.

Action Flow

• Decisions and Branching

A diamond represents a decision with alternate paths. When an
activity requires a decision prior to moving on to the next activity, add
a diamond between the two activities. The outgoing alternates should
be label with a condition or guard expression. You can also label one
of the paths "else.

Decision and Branching

• Guards
In UML, guards are a statement written next to a decision diamond
that must be true before moving next to the next activity. These are
not essential, but are useful when a specific answer, such as "Yes,
three labels are printed," is needed before moving forward.

39
• Final State or End Point
An arrow pointing to a filled circle nested inside another circle
represents the final action state

3.6.5 Sequence Diagram

-The sequence diagram is a good diagram to document a system’s

requirement and to flush out a system’s design.
- The reason sequence diagrams are so useful is because it shows the
interaction logic between the objects in the system in the time that
the interaction takes place.
-It is a good way to visualize and validate runtime scenarios.
- It is used to show the dynamic communication between objects
during the execution of a task.
- It shows the temporal order in which messages are sent between
the objects to accomplish that task.
- The system behaviour is predicted and the sequence diagram helps
to discover responsibilities that a class may need to have in the
process of modelling a new system.
- A sequence diagram is a Unified Modelling Language (UML)
diagram that illustrates the sequence of messages between objects in
an interaction.

4.1 Basic Modules

The Modules are

Administration
User/Client Administration The Functionalities of admin are :
I. If users assign new project then can add it via updating web
application
II. Update app with new features and projects
III. Monitor and allow only authorise users
IV. Keep the websites updated as per user/client request

User/client
User can register on web application with

required details User can login with his/her

correct login id and password

User can do following actions

1. Register
2. Login
3. Reset password /change password
4. Functions
5. Logout

 4.2 Data Design
4.2.1 Schema Design:-

A schema diagram is a diagram which contains entities and the

attributes that will define that schema. A schema diagram only shows
us the database design. It does not show the actual data of the
database. Schema can be a single table or it can have more than one
table which is related.
Schema is of three types: Logical Schema, Physical Schema and
view Schema.
1. Logical Schema – It describes the database designed at logical
level.
2. Physical Schema – It describes the database designed at physical
level. 3. View Schema – It defines the design of the database at
the view level.

4.2.2. Data Integrity and Constraints:-

Data integrity and constraints are sets of rules. It is used to maintain

the quality of information store in database. Integrity constraints
ensure that the data insertion, updating, and other processes have to
be performed in such a way that data integrity is not affected. .

44
 1. Domain Constraint Domain constraints can be defined as the
definition of a valid set of values for an attribute. The data type
of domain includes string, character, integer, time, date,
currency, etc. The value of the attribute must be available in the
corresponding domain.

2. Entity Integrity Constraint The entity integrity constraint states

that primary key value can't be null. This is because the primary
key value is used to identify individual rows in relation and if
the primary key has a null value, then we can't identify those
rows. A table can contain a null value other than the primary
key field.

3. Referential Integrity Constraint A referential integrity

constraint is specified between two tables. In the Referential
integrity constraints, if a foreign key in Table 1 refers to the
Primary Key of Table 2, then every value of the Foreign Key in
Table 1 must be null or be available in Table 2.

4. Key Constraint Keys are the entity set that is used to identify an
entity within its entity set uniquely. An entity set can have
multiple keys, but out
of which one key will be the primary key. A primary key can
contain a unique and null value in the relational table.

4.3 Home Page

• A home page is a webpage that serves as the starting point of

website.
• It is the default webpage that loads when you visit a web
address that only contains a domain name.
• The term also refers to one or more pages always shown in a
web browser when the application starts up. In this case, it is
also known as the start page.

4.6 Security Issues
When developing a volunteer website, ensuring the security of user
data and the integrity of the system is crucial. Here are some key
security issues to consider:

1. DATA PRIVACY AND PROTECTION

• User Data Exposure: Sensitive information, such as personal

details and payment information, must be protected against
unauthorized access.
• Compliance with Regulations: Adhere to data protection
laws such as GDPR or CCPA to ensure user data is collected,
stored, and processed lawfully.

2. AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION

• Weak Password Policies: Implement strong password

requirements and consider multi-factor authentication (MFA)
to enhance user account security.
• Session Management: Secure session handling to prevent
session hijacking, including session timeouts and secure
cookie attributes.

3. INJECTION ATTACKS

• SQL Injection: Protect against SQL injection by using

parameterized queries and ORM frameworks to sanitize user
inputs.
• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Implement input validation and
output encoding to prevent attackers from injecting malicious
scripts into web pages.

49
 4. CROSS SITE REQUEST FORGERY (CSRF)

• CSRF Attacks: Implement anti-CSRF tokens to ensure that

actions performed on behalf of users are intentional and
originate from the authenticated user.

5. INSECURE API

• API Security: Ensure that all APIs are secured with

authentication mechanisms and validate all incoming data to
prevent unauthorized access and data manipulation.

6. DATA STORAGE AND TRANSMISSION

• Unencrypted Data: Use encryption for sensitive data at rest (database) and
in transit (using HTTPS) to protect against interception and unauthorized access.

• Backup Security: Ensure that backups are securely stored and

encrypted to prevent data loss and unauthorized access.

7. VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT

• Software Updates: Regularly update all software components

and libraries to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
• Penetration Testing: Conduct regular security assessments
and penetration testing to identify and fix security
vulnerabilities.

8. USER EDUCATION AND AWARNESS

• Phishing and Social Engineering: Educate users about the risks

of phishing attacks and how to recognize suspicious
communications to reduce the likelihood of successful attacks.

9. INCIDENT RESPONSE PLAN

50
 • Response Preparedness: Develop and maintain an incident
response plan to address security breaches, including
communication strategies and mitigation actions.
