The document discusses the detailed design specifications for an NGO Management Software including its requirements, architecture, interfaces and diagrams.

The purpose of the document is to provide detailed design specifications for the NGO Management Software (NMS). It analyzes the stakeholders and identifies the problem and feasibility of software.

A 3-tier architecture is chosen for the software design with stakeholders forming the first tier, software forming the second tier for processing data, and database forming the third tier.

1. Introduction
1.1) Purpose
The purpose of the document is to provide detailed design specifications for the NGO Management Software
(NMS). It analyzes the stakeholders and identifies the problem and feasibility of software. It then explains different
design viewpoints using various diagrams thus elaborating on the planned implementation.

1.2) Scope
NMS is intended as a tool for simplifying the task of management of a NGO. It automates the functioning of the
NGO.
It does not build upon any previously existing similar software and is not a part of a larger project in itself.
Apache WebServer and MySQL constitute its software dependencies.
For a more detailed description of the design goals and a brief of the overall functions, refer to Section 1.2,
NMS SRS.

NMS : NGO Management Software


User : Donor/Manager.
SRS : Software Requirement Specification
API : Application Programming Interface.
Database: Collection of similar data.
Server: Link which handles user request and provide them with relevant data.

1.5) FEASIBILITY STUDY:

1.5.1) Problem and its Scope

The software designed here is NGO management Software (NMS) . This software basically registers
few problem described here:
Maintaining the list of students who are currently supported by the NGO.
Information regarding the amount of money needed by the NGO to continue its operation in the

coming year.
Maintaining the data about the performance of students in exams.
Contact the donors for money.
Receiving donations like bags,dresses,books etc.
Maintaining a record of all the expenditure made in the present year.
Stakeholders: The major stakeholder is the manager of the NGO.NMS will be mainly
used by the manager of the NGO to conduct the various work of the NGO.

1.5.2)

TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY
NMS requires a web server for its functioning which can be easily arranged for.
NMS would generate the outputs at desired time.
NMS can process data of large number of students at a fair speed.
TMS is smoothly connected to email system and can send request to email system via server to
send messages to executives. Thus , the TMS is technically feasible to a large extent.

1.5.3) ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY


The benefits that we receive from NMS include reduction in human labor. By automating all the tasks
we remove the need of having volunteers doing the functions of NGO.
1.5.4) OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY
NMS is very easy to operate and user friendly software which dont require any special skill set. It just
require to create ID and enter the details of appointment to schedule on request , for which a simple
form is to be filled. Thus NMS has great operational feasibility.

2.) REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION


Functional Requirements: There are certain use cases depicted in use case diagram and their functionalities.
These form the basic requirement and processes while operating the software.

2.2) Non- Functional Requirements.


2.2.1) Error handling
NMS product shall handle expected and non-expected errors in ways that prevent loss in information
and long downtime period.

2.2.2) Performance Requirements


Responses to view information shall take no longer than 5 seconds to appear on the screen.
2.2.3) Safety Requirements
System uses the system memory and resources in an controlled manner So the software won't have
any safety issues.
2.2.4) Security Requirements
System will use secured database
Normal volunteers can just read information but they cannot edit or modify anything except their
personal and some other information.
System will have different types of users and every user has access constraints.
3.) DETAILED DESIGN
3.1) Global System architecture
A 3 tier architecture is chosen for NMS . Stakeholders form the 1st tier which sends requests to the
software (2nd tier ) which process the data and stores it in data base (3rd tier) , and is connected to web
server which receives and sends request back to stakeholder.

Server

3.2) SOFTWARE PLATFORM

The overall software is best modeled in Object-oriented architecture. In this way, the individual
methods may be implemented and encapsulated to prevent interference. It also provides abstraction so
two sets of entities may interact with each other with ease.
Also, the software must broadly a event based design and therefore it is best to use a language which
supports event handling.
For this and other purposes described above, PHP is one of the best candidates to implement the
software.

Software Configurations

OPERATING SYSTEM : WINDOWS 98, XP AND ABOVE ,LINUX.


LANGUAGE : PHP.
DATABASE: MySQL
3.3) HARDWARE PLATFORM

Minimum hardware requirements are:


Processor : Pentium 3 630 MHz
RAM : 128 Mb
Hard Disk : 20 GB
Display screen : 15 color monitor
Mouse , keyboard : 122 keys.
Modem, WAN LAN, Ethernet Cross-Cable.
3.4) COMMUNICATION PLATFORM

TMS would be internally connected to email server and would send request to send email to executives.

3.6) USER INTERFACE I/O


Few User interfaces are depicted below.

4.) CONCLUDING REPORT

The SASD document extended upon the NMS SRS and discussed the various functions in the form of
DFD and Structure Charts.
The design of the database was detailed in the form of ER diagram.
External environment and software were specified.
