Waterfall Model
Waterfall Model
[ATM Interface]
1. Requirements Analysis
- Gather all user and system requirements for the ATM interface.
- Functional requirements: Withdrawals, deposits, balance inquiry,
PIN change, mini statements.
- Non-functional requirements: Security protocols (encryption),
response time, hardware specifications.
- Identify external dependencies such as bank networks and
regulatory compliance (PCI DSS).
2. System Design
- Design the architecture of the ATM system, including hardware
integration, software modules, and network components.
- Define the flow of user interactions, e.g., card insertion, PIN
entry, selection of transaction type, and completion.
- Specify database structures for storing user data (account details,
transaction history).
- Detail algorithms for PIN validation, cash dispensing, and balance
updates.
3. Implementation
- Develop individual modules:
- User Interface: Create screens for PIN entry, transaction
selection, and error handling.
- Backend Logic: Code for authentication, transaction processing,
and database interaction.
- Hardware Drivers: Develop software to control ATM hardware
such as card readers, cash dispensers, and receipt printers.
- Use programming languages and frameworks suitable for
embedded systems and secure applications.
5. Deployment
- Install the ATM system at the intended location.
- Connect the machine to the bank's network and
configure it for real-world use.
- Train technicians and administrators on operating and
troubleshooting the system.
6. Maintenance
- Provide ongoing support:
- Monitor system performance and address hardware/software issues.
- Deploy software updates for feature enhancements and security
patches.
- Conduct periodic audits to ensure compliance with banking
regulations.
- Handle customer feedback and resolve any reported issues.
