2.0 Project Organization

2.1 Process Model

We plan on following a modular model by breaking up the project into smaller more manageable pieces. This will help to organize our team's effort in focused areas. After all modules are complete, the team plans on going through an integration process where we will make sure all modules work appropriately with each other.

The following table represents our tentative plan for completion of certain milestones, reviews, work products, and deliverables:

Assignment or Activity Date to be Completed
Project Bid v1.0 January 14
Project Bid v2.0 January 21
Project Plan v1.0 January 24
SRS v1.0 January 28
SDS v1.0 Feburary 4
SDS v2.0 Feburary 18
VVP v1.0 Feburary 21-25
VVR v1.0 March 7-11
Stage 1 Release March 7-11
VVR v2.0 March 28-April 1
Stage 2 Release March 28-April 1
VVR v3.0 April 11-15
Stage 3 Release April 11-15
Product Release April 18-22
Legacy Turn-In April 25-29
Final Report April 25-29
Demo April 28

2.2 Organizational Structure and Responsibilities

Throughout the semester we will rotate our roles when necessary.

2.3 Organizational Boundaries and Interfaces

2.4 Reviews, walkthroughs, inspections, and audits

We will periodically have meetings, walkthroughs, and audits. We will review previous documentation and results from weekly changes to examine our progress. We will compare this progress to the mandated milestones and adjust accordingly. During the meetings, we will also evaluate the quality of current products.

2.5.1 Procedures for reviews, walkthroughs, inspections, and audits

Before a document is due, our team will meet to review content and provide feedback to each other. This will help ensure the best quality document that we can provide. When possible we will utilize outside sources to review our documentation.

When we begin to develop the software, our technical leader will provide all team members with a walkthrough of his/her work. After a walkthrough, a review team will run inspections on the product. The review team will record the results and inform the technical leader weekly of new defects.

There are three scheduled releases for our team project.

2.5.2 Schedule of reviews, walkthroughs, inspections, and audits

Reviews for our documents will take place within a week prior to the due date. If need be, we will schedule more reviews to ensure a quality product.

Walkthroughs will take place about every two weeks. This schedule is very tentative however due to unforeseen technical problems that could arise. More walkthroughs may be needed as required by the technical leader.

Inspections of the software will initially take place about every two weeks. As with the walkthroughs, more inspections may be run if the team feels fit.

There are three scheduled releases of the project throughout the semester. The first release will be conducted by March 11. The second release of the project will be audited by April 1. The last release will be conducted on the final version of the project by April 15. The final audit will be scheduled April 28.

3.0 Team-specific aspects

3.1 Management Objectives and Priorities

Our team will have a team leader. The team leader will mainly act to coordinate the group. As members of the group complete aspects of the project the team leader will help to integrate these changes. When a decision is needing to be made about certain aspects of the project, the team will vote and all team members will have equal say.

3.2 Team name

Team Silent Mission - This name was actually generated by a random name generator found on the internet. We felt it represented the nature of our project, as our smart cards have a mission to get done, and this is completed silently.

4.0 Preliminary Sketch of Project Requirements

4.1 Overview of Functional Requirements

eWallet Functions:

4.2 Overview of Data Requirements

The eWallet can store the following data on the microprocessor chip: compressed digital photo, fingerprint image, text data including name, driver’s license, birthday, address, expiration date, medical insurance plan information, credit card numbers and exp dates, and a numeric amount representing how much cash is available/stored on the card.

Assuming a user has correctly authenticated him/herself via a fingerprint scan or PIN, the eWallet will read back any of the previous data.

The eWallet card system will also maintain a backup database of issued cards and their current states (cash value stored, personal information, etc) to allow for replacement of lost / stolen / deactivated cards.

4.3 General Constraints, Assumptions,Dependencies, Guidelines

The interactions between the eWallet and a banking system and credit card system will be simulated (we do not have real access to these systems or their standards of communication). Adding checking account funds to the eWallet must be done via a Web-based interface. It is assumed that card issuance is done in a networked environment so that data may be backed up, as well as electronic cash transactions so that the current stored value amount can be constantly backed up. Assuming appropriate drivers are available for the various hardware pieces, the system can run in either a Windows or Linux environment.

4.4 User View of Product Use

Scenario: Card Enrollment

The user is at a trusted card issuing facility. A technician will take user’s photograph and capture a scan of their fingerprint. User will see a screen where they are prompted to enter their personal information including: full name, social security number, current address, phone number, credit card information, gender, deposit amount, account number, username, password and pin. The technician will validate this information and then generate an eWallet with the user’s information stored on it. The user can then use the card to make purchases and show information
