Software Requirements Specification for <iDONATE> Page 1

1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose

The purpose of this proposed work is to build an online system to manage donors and
recipients to ease the communications for charity. The donors and recipients will register in the
system and interact with each other and raise/requests donations. The system consists of two other
modules. One for managing blood donations and the other for hiring ambulance drivers at
emergencies.

1.2 Product Scope

The scope of the proposed system is to ease charity services and to create a convenient and
easy-to-use application for users, trying to donate to charity organizations or to get help from
people. The system is based on a relational database with its user profiles management and user
requests management functions. We will have a system supporting charity organizations as well as
users interested in charity activities. Above all, the system provides a comfortable user experience in
other modules: blood bank and ambulance driver hiring. There will be separate storage in the
database for each module.

4. Nonfunctional Requirements

4.1 Performance Requirements

The main performance requirements that the product should satisfy are:

- Accuracy: Accuracy in functioning and the nature of user-friendliness should be maintained in

the system.
- Speed: The system must be capable of offering speed.

4.2 Quality Requirements

The most important quality requirements that the system should satisfy are:
Software Requirements Specification for <iDONATE> Page 4

- Scalability: The software will meet all of the functional requirements without an unexpected 
behavior.
- Maintainability: The system should be maintainable. It should keep backups to atone for 
system failures, and should log its activities periodically.
- Reliability: The acceptable threshold for down­time should be long as possible. i.e. mean 
time between failures should be large as possible. And if the system is broken, time required
to get the system back up again should be minimum.
- Testability: The proposed system should be properly tested under various circumstances in 
order to assure its reliability.  

5. Conclusions
With the busy lifestyle of people, iDONATE will be more and more essential now-a-days,
where donor can easily search and find places that he can donate money, organs, food, etc. and the
recipient can search and find the donors of the things he need. iDONATE also solves the problem of
users finding difficult to communicate with people in emergency cases such as need of blood, need of
ambulance, etc. All these activities are together available at your fingertips while using the system.
The design of this system is very simple and user-friendly too, which make it more efficient. Thus, we
can say that iDONATE has a great scope in future for the users and the charity organizations.
