1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The following document describes the functional and non-functional requirements for the Attendance
Tracking System release version 1.0. The contents are intended to be utilized by the software engineering
class as guidelines for implementation and testing. This Software Requirements Specification document
only covers the main system and does not describe the implementation of the database in which the main
system interacts. All the requirements stated in this document are slated for implementation in version 1.0,
unless otherwise specified.
1.2 Document Conventions
As of the latest version of this Software Requirements Specification, there are no document conventions.
1.3 Intended Audience and Reading Suggestions
The intended audience is the software engineering class, who will be implementing and testing the
Attendance Tracking System. Also, the document is to be utilized by the software engineering professor to
evaluate the software’s design and features.
1.4 Project Scope
The Attendance Tracking System will allow professors to maintain a record of attendance of students in
their respective classes from a Pocket PC. Also, the system will permit the instructor to send a student a
notification email of their absence. Furthermore, the program provides different modes to edit attendance,
view statistics, and take notes on elements pertaining to attendance. The goal is to provide a professor with
an easy, portable solution to attendance record maintenance and attendance statistics.

2. Overall Description
2.1 Product Perspective
The Attendance Tracking System is intended to replace the manual model of attendance record keeping by
means of roll call and paper records. The roll call and paper records are replaced with a single interaction
between the professor and the Attendance Tracking System. Professors will be able to view pictures of
students on their Pocket PC and quickly maintain attendance records. The features expressed in this
Software Requirements Specification document are intended to be fully implemented in version 1.0. The
system will be developed in such a way to provide easy addition of enhanced features, which may be
desired in subsequent versions.
2.2 Product Features
The main feature of the Attendance Tracking System is for a professor to take roll from the Pocket PC.
Pictures will be displayed for each student in the class, so the professor can recognize students without
having to manually call roll. If students are absent, the system sends a notification email to the student
stating the current number of absences the student has accumulated. Also, the system allows the professor
to view pertinent statistics on student’s attendance record for the specified class. Finally, another feature of
the Attendance Tracking System is the ability to easily edit the attendance record for any given day.
2.3 User Classes and Characteristics
Professors A professor is a faculty member of Wake Forest University in Winston Salem, North
Carolina. There are 357 faculty members at the university and it is estimated that almost
all faculty members will utilize the Attendance Tracking System. Professors will have
