##### Table of Contents Introduction Functionality Usability Reliability Performance Supportability Design Constraints Online User Documentation and Help System Requirements Purchased Components Interfaces Licensing Requirements Legal, Copyright, and Other Notices Applicable Standards ### Introduction #### Purpose The purpose of this document is to define requirements of the Collegiate Sports Paging System. This Supplementary Specification lists the requirements that are not readily captured in the use cases of the use-case model. The Supplementary Specifications and the use-case model together capture a complete set of requirements on the system. #### Scope This Supplementary Specification applies to the Collegiate Sports Paging System which will be developed by Context Integration. The Collegiate Sports Paging System will allow subscribers to be notified via alphanumeric pager (or cellular phone or email) of events in specific areas of interest, then to access content via an individualized web interface. This specification defines the non-functional requirements of the system; such as reliability, usability, performance, and supportability as well as functional requirements that are common across a number of use cases. (The functional requirements are defined in the Use Case Specifications.) #### Definitions, Acronyms and Abbreviations See Glossary. #### References CSPS Vision 1.0 CSPS Requirements Management Plan 1.0 ### Functionality Functional requirements are captured via the defined use cases. ### Usability #### Ease of use The system will not require user training beyond that of using a web browser. This will be verified by usability tests during the beta period. ### Reliability #### Availability To be defined in subsequent phases. ### Performance #### Subscriber volume The system will be able to support 200,000 subscribers, and provide a scaling mechanism to handle 500,000 subscribers. #### Paging latency When a news story is posted to the system, pages must be transmitted to the pager gateway within 5 minutes. ### Supportability #### Subscriber software The subscriber shall be able to utilize the system through commercially available browser software. No custom software will be required to reside on the subscriber's PC. ### Design Constraints #### WebNewsOnLine Look and Feel The system shall conform with existing WebNewsOnLine web site design standards. #### WebNewsOnLine existing system connection The system shall communicate with the existing WebNewsOnLine web site for the purpose of receiving story content. ### Online User Documentation and Help System Requirements Each major function provided by the system will have its own online help function. ### Purchased Components To be defined in subsequent phases. ### Interfaces #### User Interfaces See Creative Design documents: CSPS Creative Design Brief 1.0 CSPS Design Comps 1.0 CSPS Navigation Map 1.0 #### Hardware Interfaces To be defined in subsequent phases. #### Software Interfaces To be defined in subsequent phases. #### Communications Interfaces To be defined in subsequent phases. ### Licensing Requirements No client licenses are required. ### Legal, Copyright, and Other Notices Copyright statements indicating content ownership shall be included in content as required by policy. ### Applicable Standards To be defined in subsequent phases.
