This ensures that the system meets the required safety and security standards for the industry it operates in.
The system should provide user education and awareness mechanisms, such as user guidelines,
security best practices, and system usage policies, to ensure that users are informed about the safe and
secure use of the system.

5.3 Security requirements
In addition to the functional, performance, safety, and security requirements mentioned earlier,
there are other important requirements for a Online Education System.
1. Scalability:
The system should be designed to handle increasing volumes of orders and data as the business
grows. It should be able to scale horizontally or vertically to accommodate increased user load, without
compromising system performance or functionality.
2. Availability:
The system should have high availability to ensure that it is accessible and operational for users as
per the defined service level agreements (SLAs). This may involve redundant hardware and software
configurations, fault-tolerant architecture, and backup and recovery mechanisms to minimize downtime.
3. Usability:
The system should be user-friendly, with an intuitive and easy-to-navigate user interface. It should
be designed to meet the needs of various users, including instructors upload their course easily and users
can also use with the east access UI.
4. Reliability:
The system should be reliable, with minimal system failures or errors. It should be designed with
robust error handling and fault tolerance mechanisms to ensure smooth and uninterrupted operation.
Proper logging and monitoring mechanisms should be in place to detect and address any issues promptly.
5. Integration:
The system may need to integrate with other external systems, such as POS and payment
gateways, and inventory management systems. Proper integration interfaces and protocols should be
defined and implemented to ensure seamless data exchange and interoperability with other systems.
6. Compliance:
The system should comply with relevant legal, regulatory, and industry standards, such as data
privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA), healthcare regulations, and industry-specific standards (e.g.,
NCPDP for pharmacy data interchange). Compliance with these standards ensures that the system meets
legal.

7. Maintenance and Support:
The system should be designed with ease of maintenance and support in mind. This includes
proper documentation, version control, and release management practices. Additionally, a support
mechanism should be in place to handle user inquiries, issues, and incidents in a timely and efficient
manner.
The system should have performance monitoring and reporting capabilities to track system
performance, resource utilization, and user activity. This helps in identifying performance bottlenecks,
optimizing system resources, and generating reports for analysis and decision-making.
9. Cost-effectiveness:
If the system involves third-party vendors, proper vendor management practices should be in place,
including vendor assessment, contract management, and service level agreements (SLAs) to ensure that
vendors meet the required quality, security, and performance standards.
RESULT:
Thus the main project 1 to develop software prototype for Online Education System
is done successfully with software requirement specification document.
