Question

Consider the problem statement for an "Online Auction System" to be developed: New users can register to the system through an online process. By registering a user agrees to abide by different pre-defined terms and conditions as specified by the system. Any registered user can access the different features of the system authorized to him / her, after he authenticates himself through the login screen. An authenticated user can put items in the system for auction. Authenticated users can place bid for an item. Once auction is over, the item will be sold to the user placing the maximum bid. Payments are to be made by third party payment services, which, of course, is guaranteed to be secure. The user selling the item will be responsible for its shipping. If the seller thinks he's getting a good price, he can, however, sell the item at any point of time to the maximum bidder available. Read the Requirement Specifications thoroughly and answer the following questions:

i. Identify the ambiguous, inconsistent and incomplete statements

ii. Identify different function requirements to be obtained from a system

iii. Identify the possible non-functional requirements that could be identified from the requirements specifications.

software engineering question

Answer 1

GIVEN THAT:-

i. Identify the ambiguous, inconsistent and incomplete statements

User should be of super user staff user and normal user.

Suppose in the online auction we have multiple user ones who want to bid or one who wants to make a bid and user to be categorized upon this.

The bid should be available for all so that anyone can se what's going and could register themselves for bid

ii. Identify different function requirements to be obtained from a system

Main Class AuctionSystem it copntains

constructor
AuctionSystem()
AuctionSystem(bidowner,product)
AuctionSystem(bidowner)
AuctionSystem(product)

AddBid Owner ArrayList
remove bidOwner

Class BidOwner

addproduct(name,type etc) //add bid
remove product //withdraw bid

void go_for_Auction(bidowner,product) or place_bid()
setMinPrize(product)
setQuantity(product)
setwinner(user)
setTimelimit(no of days)

class users //Bidders//2rd party user who wants to buy the item using bid
{
users()
setbidprize(product)//update
remove bidprize(product) //withdraw from bid
addreview(product)
seeproductinfo(product)
seeBidOwnerInfo(BidOwner)

}

iii.Identify the possible non-functional requirements that could be identified from the requirements specifications.

Normal user data should be saved properly to target the user for registration by filling small form.

Bids should be eyecathing so that user wants to make and target for the bid.
