CpSc 881 - Project 2 - High Volume Distributed E-Business System

For this project we will be constructing the software architecture for an e-business service site. The system provides 365x24x7 customer access to the services provided by the site. The site provides a comprehensive set of financial services including banking, insurance and investments.

Functionality

• A system built using this architecture would be the basic e-business platform.
• The system presents content to end-users and must interface with the processing functionality of vendors' systems.
• The system presents end-users with a variety of additional information services such as links to airline and other travel sites but does not broker any of the transactions at those sites

Quality Attributes

• Maximize performance for a visitor to the site
• Maximize availability to visitors
• Maximize security for payment from visitors
• Minimize the time to deploy a new page with a new service
• Maximize scalability with an emphasis on quick response to increases in demand
• Minimize the time to deploy a new auxiliary link on an existing page
• Maximize accuracy in all transactions

Activities

• Quantify quality attributes
• Create use cases and domain analysis

 Package

• Use case diagram and 5 use case templates completed
• Domain Analysis model – use UML
• Formulas by which quality attributes will be measured

Evaluation Criteria
