    c. It includes the design of the plug and socket, the type, number and purpose of
    the wires and the electrical signals that are passed across them.
    d. A hardware interface is a combination of mechanical electrical and logical
    signals that define how a piece of hardware communicates with the system.
    e. Hardware Interface comprises of the space needed to implement the desired
    software.

    Software Interface

    a. A software interface allows you to access certain functionality in a system or a


    library without caring to the way it is implemented on the system or library
    side.
    b. It also ensures that if someone updates the system or the library the interface
    will ensure that your application will still work the same way even if there is a

    Performance Requirements -
    System should perform very efficiently because there could
    be too much load on software , in best case there can be
    hundreads of millions user in such a country level software.this
    type of softwares is expected to be only one in a region like one
    country.

    ➢ Security Requirements-
    System should use best security because
    there will be a payment gateway and if any user’s private data
    leaked then it will be a biggest failure of system . System should
    logout automatically after some inactivity of time . Systems
    backend should be only accesible to authorities not someone else.
    It should be secure from external viruses and should check
    peroidically about unwanted files of system. Personal data of
    users should not leaked or visible to other users in any condition
    because there could be a big misuse of these data.
    Reliability-
    The Reliability of the overall project depends on
    the reliability of the separatecomponents. The main pillar of reliability of
    the system is the backup of the database which is continuously
    maintained and updated to reflect the most recent changes. Also, the
    system will be functioning inside a container. Thus,the overall stability of
    the system depends on the stability of container andits underlying
    operating system.

    Availability -
    The system should be available at all times, meaning the
    user can access itusing a web browser, only restricted by the down time of
    the server on whichthe system runs. A customer friendly system which is
    in access of peoplearound the world should work 24 hours. In case of a
    hardware failure ordatabase corruption, a replacement page will be
    shown. Also, in case of ahardware failure or database corruption, backup
    of the database should beretrieved from the server and saved by the
    Organizer. Then the service will be restarted. It means 24x7 availability.

    Maintainability-
    A commercial database is used for maintaining the
    database and theapplication server takes care of the site. In case of a
    failure, a re-initializationof the project will be done. Also the software
    design is being done withmodularity in mind so that maintainability can
    be done efficiently.
