Fact Gathering Study
The fact gathering technique is used to find out the requirement of
the system. The technique used are as follow: -
Questionery
Record review
Questionery: -
By this technique we came to know about the system and what they
need. This help to under stand all the process, which occurs in the system.
They try to help up by giving answer regarding our question and all possible
information they know about the system. By this technique we came to
know about following: -
How all process are performed.
How should system work.
This gives idea how system should be developed to perform different
task.
Record review: -
This technique is used to review the records, which they maintain. By
this we can understand how entry should be done in each process. We saw
all the entry, which they have all ready entered in the different register,
which they maintain and also saw the reports they have generated. This give
idea about how entry is done and verified in register. Thorough this we
came to know about following: -
How record entry should be done in each process.
How reports are generated for different activity they perform.
Requirement Analysis
Today life is very fast and work with the computer is speedy. The
existing system was manually on paper. So it is time consuming as compared
with our system a man cannot do work as fast as computer. In existing
system paper work is more where as in our system on computer, so most of
the work is done on computer and it provide facilities to change if any
mistake occurred. So we can say that in existing system paper work is more.
All the information is on paper in existing system so, there are
possibilities of loss, theft, burning and damaging data on paper. Where as in
computer system all data are saved and backup of data is also taken if user
want. So there are less chances of data loss then the existing system.
Existing system is inconvenient for user because it cannot give fast and
proper information in proper time and it take long time to give information
to the user. In our system the information is generated very quickly and
prepared accordingly to the user request. Computer system provide very
easy and flexible report generation where as report generation on paper is
time consuming and it is difficult to change if any mistake occurred in
between while in computerized system reports are generated automatically.
