SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS SPECIFICATIONS

1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose
a) The purpose of the Software Requirement Specification (SRS) is to provide the
complete description of the proposed system for the company. It contains the
documentation of the project from its design, interface and audience.
b) The audience our system aims at targeting are the people involved in St. Francis
Academy of Quezon City. The system aims at helping people involved in the educational
institution such as its students, faculty members, and administrators.
1.2 Scope
This subsection specifies the software products to be used for the creation of the system.
Xampp. Used to interpret web pages in PHP. Helps access the system, which is hosted
on a site via LAN.
An IDE that supports the PHP programming language. In order to help in the debugging
process and hints regarding syntaxes to be used.
Oracle MySQL. Handles the database which stores the information needed by the
system.
We will be using free and open source softwares in the creation of the system. Since
most of the features needed by the system can be handled by the softwares we have
chosen and the company of implementation is of medium scale.
The following software applications will be used in order to build the student
information system. Since one of the main features of the software is to retrieve
information regarding the students, it will need a database software. Hence we will use
Oracle MySQL since it's the software that is being used in our Database subject. MySQL
is also one of the most common database software's available.
We will also need an IDE that supports PHP since it is the programming language that
we will use. PHP has the programming language that has the capability to integrate an
SQL database. PHP will also make our system dynamic because it has functionalities
that are adequate with the needs fitted to our system. By using an IDE software, it will
help speed up the debugging process and correct errors quickly. IDE softwares can also
test PHP webpages quickly which means that if there are adjustments needed to be
made, it can be done using an IDE. IDE softwares also have the information regarding
the functions that are available such as how syntaxes will be declared.
Xampp will be used as the interpreter for the PHP programming language. Xampp has
Apache Web Server installed as part of its package. The system will be needing an PHP
interpreter in order for web browsers to access the system, which is made using PHP.
