Scenario:

Website “We are stars”

You as a website developer need to communicate to “We are stars” management team to develop their dynamic website. The management team has a communications manager and CEO.

“We are stars” is to be a free platform aims to make sure that no talent goes unnoticed. Connecting the suitable talent with the perfect casting professionals is their motto. They have a member-based subscription available at the following price:

• Six months - $550 plus GST
• One year - $800 plus GST
• Lifetime access - $3500 plus GST

They guarantee to their members that potential candidates are selected by the most suitable agencies through sourcing only the strongest talent in Australia, and abroad, and extending their directory across a diverse range of talents from acting to influencing.

Although “We are stars” are an Australian-based talent management group, they also work with some of the industry’s largest companies, globally. This allows all local talent to partake in both local and international productions. “We are stars” knows no borders. They are here to assist all talent in reaching new heights and supporting them in promoting themselves…no one should go undiscovered.

At “We are stars”, they recognise the importance of people, but what makes them blush more is originality and commitment. For this reason, “We are stars”, too, is committed to clients and who they represent.

“We are stars” promise to their talent and casting professionals includes, but is not limited to:

• Understanding every clients’ distinct abilities and ambitions
• Employing their many skills for many outcomes – e.g. marketing, media, public relations, production and film
• Not stopping until the final product is a SUCCESS
• Access to a team with the finest in the industry through the three B’s- Brains, Business and Bright future- while retaining the three C’s –Calm, Cool and Collected
• 24-hours a day, 7-days a week commitment

The website will have a simple contact list, to begin with, and later developed to be a link up with Google plus, Twitter and Facebook to allow fans to follow them. The website will need to employ the three-layer application architecture (based on client-server architecture) to allow separation between user interface, programming logic and database operations. These separations should be observed as far as it is practical given the technology that you are working with.

The website will keep portfolios of all profiles. The website will cater the interests of age group 16 to 90 years. All individuals should be Australian citizens and must have sound English skills.

The communication manager is responsible for:

• Collecting information from potential talents
• Publishing a regular blogs and news section on the website
• Answering all messages received through “contact us form.”
• Communication with a web developer for setting up all non-functional requirements such as:
• Performance – for example, Response Time, Throughput, Utilization, Static Volumetric
• Scalability
• Capacity
• Availability
• Reliability
• Recoverability
• Maintainability
• Serviceability
• Security
• Regulatory
• Manageability
• Environmental
• Data Integrity
• Usability
• Interoperability

The CEO is responsible for:

• Tagging the potential talents to different projects and titles such as acting, influencing etc.
• Communicating with stakeholders regarding the potential talents and different projects, i.e. communication with the talents directly and or through communication manager or production houses or other talent management organisations.
• Communication with a web developer for setting up all functional requirements such as:
• Business Rules
• Transaction corrections, adjustments and cancellations
• Administrative functions
• Authentication
• Authorization levels
• Audit Tracking
• External Interfaces
• Certification Requirements
• Reporting Requirements
• Historical Data
• Legal or Regulatory Requirements

Communications Manager wants to have windows based operating system for the web server. You as a web developer knows that Linux is the most popular operating system for web servers. Since Linux-based hosting is more popular, it has more of the features web developers can explore.  So unless “We are stars” management have specifications to create a website which needs specific Windows applications, Linux is the preferred choice.

You have reviewed the requirements and found that they do not require the following Windows applications:

• ASP Classic
• ASP.NET
• MS Access (Microsoft Access)
• Visual Basic Development
• C#
• Remote Desktop (dedicated server only)

The requirements, though, include the following:

• SSH
• Scripts or applications that require specific Apache modules

It is a company policy that written consent is required from parents where the individual is below 18 years of age to use their name, voice, image, likeness, and any and all attributes of his/her personality, in, on or in connection with any film, audio tape, video tape, audio-visual work, photograph, illustration, animation, or broadcast, in any media or embodiment, now known or unknown, including, without limitation, all formats of computer-readable media, produced by or distribute by the company website.

This requires an additional functionality to ensure privacy and consent feature for all individuals below 18 years of age registering their interests on the website.

The CEO has advised you that she wants the website to be mobile-friendly and may introduce “pay-per-view” feature where short videos and documentaries of the potential talent will be available on the website as pay-per-view. The service in which viewers are required to pay a fee to watch a specific programme at the comfort of their homes.

1.4.1          Meta Tags

1.4.2          Frames

1.4.3          HTML syntax.

1.5               Database

Two types of errors that may occur in Web applications:

1. Data Integrity:

Missing or wrong data in the table.

1. Output Error:

Errors in writing, editing or reading operations in the tables.

The issue is to test the functionality of the database, not the content and the focus here is therefore on output errors. Verify that queries, writing, retrieving or editing in the database are performed correctly.

2. Usability:

2.1               Navigation

Navigation describes the way users navigate within a page, between different user interface controls (buttons, boxes, lists, windows etc.), or between pages via, e.g. links.

2.1.1          Application navigation is proper through tab

2.1.2          Navigation through Mouse

2.1.3          Main features are accessible from the main/home page.

2.1.4          Any hotkeys, control keys to access menus.

2.2               Content

Correctness is whether the information is truthful or contains misinformation. The accuracy of the information is whether it is without grammatical or spelling errors. Remove irrelevant information from your site. This may otherwise cause misunderstandings or confusion.

2.2.1          Spellings and Grammars

2.2.2          Updated information

2. Will there be peak loads and how will the system react?
3. Can your site handle a large amount of users requesting a certain page?
4. Large amount of data from users.

5.3               Stress

Stress testing is done in order to actually break a site or a certain feature to determine how the system reacts. Stress tests are designed to push and test system limitations and determine whether the system recovers gracefully from crashes. Hackers often stress systems by providing loads of wrong in-data until it crash and then gain access to it during start-up.

1. Typical areas to test are forms, logins or other information transaction components.
2. Performance of memory, CPU, file handling etc.
3. Error in software, hardware, memory errors (leakage, overwrite or pointers)

5.4               Continuous use

1. Is the application or certain features going to be used only during certain periods of time or will it be used continuously 24 hours a day 7 days a week?
2. Will downtime be allowed or is that out of the question?
