The Requirements Document must include the following sections:
a. Identify “ten main functional requirements of the system”. These need to be presented as a list of bullets points, and each bullet needs to include a few sentences explaining the functional requirement at a very high level.
b. Identify “three non-functional requirements of the system” that need to be considered as part of the solution. Again, you need only list these requirements as bullets points with a few sentences for each explaining the non-functional requirement at a very high level.
2. Section 2 of the Report - Initial Market Scan: You have also been tasked by BAOrg to perform a high-level Initial Market Scan as part of your report.
Your Initial Market Scan must include the following:
a. Identify and list (bullet points is fine) three (3) existing Automotive Workshop Management Systems that are currently available on the market to either purchase or subscribe to, that could be a possible viable solution for Riccarton Repairs.
b. Write a summary description for each system that includes:
i. An overview of the proposed system and how it works;
ii. How the system will meet at least three (3) functional requirements and one (1) non-functional requirement you have identified in Section 1; and
iii. Identify at least two (2) areas of the system that might need further review to determine the system’s suitability for Riccarton Repairs.
3. Section 3 of the Report - Conclusion: Conclude the report with a brief overview of:
a. Your recommended system and why you are recommending the proposed system;
b. Whether your recommended system can meet the majority of the functional requirements and non-functional requirements identified in Section 1 (i.e., the recommended system meets at least five (5) functional requirements and one (1) non-functional requirement); and
