The document discusses the development of an online application and allocation system for student residence at a university. It will transform the current manual system into a computerized and graphical user interface system. The development will use Rapid Application Development methodology for its faster cycles and quality improvements. Various testing strategies are outlined including unit, integration, functional, and acceptance. Risks are analyzed and mitigated for technical issues, operations, human threats, and natural disasters. Security measures are also discussed to ensure confidentiality, integrity and availability of the system and user data.

Online application and allocation of residence
system.

3.  To transform the manual residence
application into a computerized system which
is more user friendly and GUI oriented .

4.  Functional requirements
System accept and validate user input
Process user information and complete residence
allocation
 Non functional requirements
Better speed in loading pages
Reliability- 24/7
Security - use of passwords, CIA, firewalls, UPS
Hardware ( client computers, network, web servers)

5. Rapid Application Development
Why RAD?
 faster development cycle and better turnaround time
 enhanced quality due to error reduction due touse of
automation tools
 better maintenance and up gradation of the system
 Better project management(participation of all interested
parties)

6. RISK MITIGATION
TECHNICAL
Lack of technical expertise
Malicious use of system
 some candidates claiming to have
knowledge in managing the
system’s database when they do not
know much
Training of system users
Use of passwords and firewalls to
control access and flow within the
system
 thorough practical and theoretical
interviewing before induction of new
candidates
OPERATIONAL
power outages
unintentional deletion of data
Use of UPS
implementation of remote backups
HUMAN THREATS
Theft and robbery
Vandalism
Computer crime
use of physical barriers e.g. lock &
key, security guards
implementing policy regarding
vandalism and computer crime
Use of anti-virus and anti-malware
NATURAL THREATS
Due to geographical and
environmental factors( earthquakes,
Use of remote backups
RISKS ANALYSIS AND MITIGATION

7. TYPE OF TESTING GENERAL SCOPE WHO GENERALLY DOES IT
UNIT small unit of code,
not lager than a class
the developers
INTERGRATION Multiple classes The developers
FUNCTIONAL
/SYSTEM
Whole system Users, administrator. Even
developers
ACCEPTANCE whole system in
users environment
users
TESTING

8. This is concerned with the confidentiality, Integrity and availability of
the system
 Confidentiality
Implemented through the use of access controls e.g. passwords
Different privileges are given to different users of the system
 Integrity
 Mainly concerned with the prevention of improper modification of
the overall system and database information.
 Use of Encryption
 Availability
 System availability when needed
 Use of UPS in case of power outages

9.  The online application and allocation system of
residence was tailor-made only for use at HIT.
