System Definition
1.1
Problem Definition:
Our clients, Mr. Ken Swarner & Mr. Eric
Crossman, require software that will allow them to access information from
anywhere in the world. They're going to
use this software to help them maintain hardware throughout the Morrell and
Roger Bacon buildings on the Siena
College campus. They currently do not have any method of
verifying any pertinent information outside of their office. Our clients have very outdated and
inefficient methods of obtaining information so they have requested that we,
SKYNET Software, provide them with a network mapping application that will
allow them to access this data from anywhere.
1.2 System Justification:
The Dynamic Network Device Management System will aid our clients by saving
them time and energy. Both Mr. Swarner
and Mr. Crossman will be able to troubleshoot from anywhere with internet
access and will be able to troubleshoot quicker and in a more efficient
manner. Also, our clients will be able
to locate any stray devices or know if/when new devices have been added to the
network, in which case they may revoke or allow access.
1.3 Goals for the System and on the Project:
We aim to create a manageable web
application that can be accessed via the web from anywhere in the world. The application should have a floor plan (as
accurate as possible) that will give the user an idea of where network devices
are placed.
The software must be both flexible
and extensible so that it can adapt to changes in the network configuration.
The goal for the
team is to expand and make use of all of the knowledge that we have attained
throughout our undergraduate studies and any of our Computer Science related
extracurricular activities. We hope to
use this as a learning experience and learn how to interact with others in a
professional setting. We also desire and
surpass the expectations of our clients.
1.4 Constraints on the System and on the
Project:
Our clients have stressed the
importance of having a map or floor plan of some sort. This creates a constraint in that we will
have to use dynamic images (versus static images) for our application. Because we will be dealing with dynamic
images, there is an added constraint of having the software interpret the
changes on the fly (as opposed to rewriting or hard coding the current
available floor plan).
1.5 Functions to be Provided:
- Web-based application (written
most likely in PHP & JavaScript) will allow our clients to access and
modify information with the touch of a button.
- Graphical representation of the floors and rooms our clients maintain. The room layouts will contain information about
machines in the room.
- A web server (most likely Apache) will be used to host any and all pages and
web application(s).
- A database (most likely MySQL) will store important information from all
network devices. This includes but is
not limited to: MAC Addresses, IP Addresses, Device location, the person/people
the device is registered to, etc.
- A search option will be provided to help our clients look up information
quickly.
1.6
User Characteristics:
The main users of this software will be Ken Swarner
and Eric Crossman. Faculty members
with offices in Roger Bacon or Morrell
Science Center
will also have access to this software application but will only see their own
office on the floor plan.
1.7 Development/Operating/Maintenance
Environments:
The DNDMS will be developed using the Siena College
Software Engineering workstations provided to us. The operation of this
software will be available to Ken Swarner, Eric Crossman, and other faculty
members who have offices in Roger Bacon or Morrell Science
Center. The software
will run on a web server hosted internally by the Ken Swarner. Therefore,
this system should be available from anywhere with access to the internet and a
web browser. The maintenance of this software will be determined at a
later time.
1.8 Solution Strategy:
We will be forming a solution our clients needs using
a Linear Sequential Model known as The Waterfall Model, which includes the
following steps:
·
Software
Plan: The Team meets with the client and develops an idea of the problem,
as well as a means to go about solving it.
·
Analysis:
Further meetings with the client define the problem more specifically in order
to develop the necessary requirements for the project.
·
Preliminary
Design: Using the requirements specified in the Analysis stage, fundamental
design for code is prepared.
·
Detailed
Design: The basic coding design is altered and improved and machine code is
written. This will be done in Spring Semester 2007.
·
Acceptance
Test: The software is installed and set up for the client. This will
also be done in Spring Semester 2007.
1.9 Priorities of System Feature:
The most important feature of this system is its
ability to dynamically generate floor plan images for all floors in Roger Bacon
and Morrell Science Center. These
floor plans will show icons for all devices connected to the network and allow
Administrators to manipulate each device from a graphical user interface. Another important feature of this system is
its accessibility. Because this system will run on a web server, it should
be able to be accessed from anywhere in the world with an internet connection
and web browser. Also this software will include two types of accounts,
Instructor and Administrator, which were set up by last years Software
Engineering team. Instructors will be able to see their own office on the
floor map, and Administrators will be able to see all of Roger Bacon and Morrell Science Center. Administrators
will have a toolbox to aid in reconfiguring the components connected to the
network via a GUI within the DNDMS. Instructors may not make changes to
the network configuration directly, but may request a change of an
Administrator.
1.10 System Acceptance Criteria:
The system will be able to accomplish the
following:
·
Give Administrators access to view and change
network mapped information from anywhere in the world via a web connection
·
Give Instructors the ability to view their own
network mapped devices in their own office.
·
Dynamically generate a floor plan image with all
connected network devices displayed.
·
Ability for Administrators to ping any network
device shown on the floor plan image.
·
Display a toolbox so that Administrators can
easily modify the floor maps.
1.11 Sources of Information
The information used for the System
Definition was collected through meetings with our clients, Mr. Ken Swarner and
Mr. Eric Crossman. Other sources of information include Dr. Ledermans class
lectures, the Software Engineering class textbook, Software Engineering: A
Practitioners Approach, 6th
Edition, by Roger S. Pressman, as well as Software Plans created by
Software Engineering students in the past.
