Software Requirement Specification My Study Life

1. Introduction

My Study Life is a free online planner for students, teachers and lecturers
designed to make your study life easier to manage.

My Study Life is a cross-platform planner for students, teachers and lecturers

designed to make your study life easier to manage. My Study Life allows you to
store your classes, homework and exams in the cloud making it available on any
device, wherever you are.

Unlike a paper planner or school diary, My Study Life integrates all areas of your
academic life - see homework due and overdue for classes, classes which
conflict with your exams and even add revision tasks for a specific exam - all in a
free, easy to use application. Far from your standard calendar, My Study Life is
optimized to work for your school life right from the start with support for week
and day rotation schedules. Add your classes and view them in a beautiful,
instantly identifiable, familiar week view.

My Study Life seamlessly syncs your data between devices, allowing you to use
the app even when offline. You can add a task on the move from your phone or
tablet and it will be instantly available on the web application.

This application is available for Android, iPhone, and Window devices as well as
for web, but for the sake of this project report, I will be planning and executing
tests only on an Android mobile device.

1.1. Purpose

My Study Life is a planning and organizing application which is used for

organizing classes, tasks and exams.

Some of the essential features of My Study Life are as follow:

Track Tasks
Store your tasks -- homework, assignments, reminders, and revision -- with ease in
the cloud, that can be accessible from anywhere.

Store Exams
Store all your important exams alongside your classes and revision tasks.

Manage your classes

Supporting day and week rotation timetables, advanced academic
year/term support and integration into tasks.

Notifications
It notifies you with reminders for unfinished tasks, upcoming exams and
classes before they take place.

1.2. Intended Audience

This application is intended for students and teachers of any academic

level. It is used to organize and plan the classes, exams, assignments,
revisions and so forth. It has features like Academic Years/Terms where the
intended users can store their subjects and therefore classes, tasks and
exams being visible between a start and end date you set. This way the
semester system can also be entertained.

College and university level students and teachers can use this application
for their annual, biannual/semester classes rotations, days rotations and
even week rotations. Since all the data is synchronized on web servers, the
users don’t need to worry about data loss in case of device change or
malfunctioning of any sort.

1.3. Scope

My Study Life is a planning and organizing mobile application. Unlike most

school timetables, My Study Life also manage your classes and exams
together with scheduling, tasks, reminders, and syncing.

This application supports both week and day rotation schedules as well as
timetables which repeat every week. My Study Life also lets you assign a
class to an academic year, and also to it's terms and specify custom
start/end dates if needed. Holidays feature of this software lets you see
which days you have off, and also shift rotation schedules.

3. System Features & Requirements

3.1. System Features

Sign Up
User can sign up directly for My Study Life using their Facebook, Google
or Office 365 account. If user do not have a Facebook, Google or Office
365 account or would prefer to create an account manually, they can do
on the sign up page.

User will be asked whether they are a student or teacher and to provide
or confirm their details.

If they created an account manually, they’ll be sent an email to verify

they’re human; simply by clicking the activation link in the email and
their account will be activated.

Subjects
A subject or course is used to group your classes, tasks and exams
together. The subject consists of a name and color, in order to make the
subject distinguishable across the application.

If you are only taking the subject for a short period of time, such as over
a single term or year, you may assign the subject a year or term. Any
classes assigned to this subject will only repeat during the year or term
specified by the subject, unless assigned a term beneath the subject’s
year or start/end dates.

Classes
Also known as lessons, classes in My Study Life can be a one-off event
(such as an extra revision session for Computing) or a recurring event
with multiple occurrences. Once the class has been created its type
cannot be changed.

A class belongs to a subject and may optionally have a module, room,

building and teacher.

lOMoARcPSD|23536460

Software Requirement Specification My Study Life

One-off Classes
A one-off class occurs once and only once on the specified date and
time. It must have a start and end time as well as a date on which it
occurs.

Recurring Classes
A recurring class can have multiple times and will repeat between either:
 The start/end dates of the assigned academic year or term.
 The start/end dates assigned to the class, if specified.

When adding or editing a task, My Study Life will tell you how long your
class repeats for when you create a new, or edit an existing class.

A recurring class must have at least one time. A time may have one or
more weekdays or rotation days. Rotation schedules are configured
when adding or updating the academic years. A single class may have
multiple times which occur on both weekdays and rotation days allowing
for complex timetables.

If the class only repeats for a finite about of time (less than an academic
year or term), you can use the start/end dates of the class to specify this.
The start/end dates assigned to a class will override any dates from a
year or term so long as they are within the assigned year or term's dates.

Tasks
Tasks in My Study Life allow you to track your homework, assignments,
revision and set general reminders.

A task belongs to a subject and must have a type

(Assignment, Reminder or Revision), a title and a date on which the task
is due. You may also add extra information to the task using the detail
field (such as the number of questions to complete or a specific area to
investigate for an essay).

For example, if you had been given an assignment to write an essay

about Moore’s Law for Computing to complete by the 20th April, you
would create a task giving it the subject Computing, type of Assignment,
due date of 20th April and a title of Moore’s Law Essay. You could use the
detail field to add some references to helpful articles online, or some
pointers given to you by your teacher.

Revision Tasks
A revision task is a specialized type of a task which allows you to assign
the task to an exam. My Study Life allows you to create and track the

Downloaded by Anshul Choudhary ([email protected])

lOMoARcPSD|23536460

Software Requirement Specification My Study Life

progress of a number of revisions tasks for a single exam. These tasks are
also shown when viewing an exam, reminding you that you may still
have some revision left to do. This means that when revising for that all
important end of year exam, you can create a revision task per module
(or even sub-module) to ensure you’re 100% prepared.

Exams
My Study Life allows you to add your exams to appear alongside your
classes in your timetable. It will also warn you of any classes which
conflict with the exam and lets you track your revision progress using
revision tasks.
An exam belongs to a subject and must have a date, start time and
duration. All other fields such as module, seat and room are optional.

Academic Years, Terms and Holidays

An academic year and its terms are used to represent your school year
and any terms (semesters, trimesters, quarters etc.) that you may have.
Both years and terms have start end dates and are used to constrain a
class to repeat between those start and end dates.

Depending on your school system, your classes may be consistent

throughout the school year or they may change on a term-by-term basis.
If, for example, your school system uses semesters, you should create an
academic year with two terms.

Scheduling
Academic years also control how your classes repeat. When creating an
academic year, you will be asked if your schedule is fixed or rotates on a
week or day basis.

Holidays
Also known as vacations or days off, holidays allow you to specify dates
on which you do not have classes. If you have a rotation schedule, you
can also use holidays to push rotation weeks or days.

For example, if you have a 2 week rotation timetable and a holiday that
lasts a week. The week before the holiday is week 1. When checked the
“pushes schedule” would mean the week after the holiday would be the
alternate week (week 2) whereas when unchecked it would be the same
week as before the holiday (week 1).

Timetable
User should see the option to add an academic year. An academic year
represents a school year (e.g. September 2015 – July 2016) and its terms
are used to segment that school year. When creating an academic year
user can tell My Study Life how their schedule works (fixed, week or day
rotation). You can read more about academic years and terms here.

After you've added an academic year, you can add your classes and
holidays. When adding a class, you’ll also need to create a subject for it
to belong to. If you’re unfamiliar with the term “subject” you can think
of it like a course or project which your classes, tasks and exams belong
to. You can learn more about subjects here.

When creating classes, they are automatically assigned to the year/term

that was selected when you tapped the “New Class” button. At the top
of the class input screen, My Study Life will tell you how long the class
will repeat in your timetable for. In addition to assigning the class to a
year or term, you can also set start/end dates for a class. This is useful
when you have a class that only lasts a few weeks within a year or term.

You can also add holidays to an academic year. Holidays prevent your
classes repeating during the dates of the holiday (meaning no reminders
on mobile devices), although you can still add one-off classes during
holidays. If you have configured the academic year to use either a week
or day rotation schedule you can also optionally push your schedule
using holidays.

A Day Rotation
My Study Life supports between 2 and 10 days of rotation and also
allows you to add classes which occur on both a rotation day and
weekday. You can configure week rotation timetables when adding or
editing an academic year.

From the general settings screen, you can choose whether you would
like the weeks to be displayed as numbers or letters.

A Week Rotation
My Study Life supports between 2 and 4 weeks of rotation so whether
you have a more traditional two week timetable or your classes only
occur every 4 weeks your timetable will work with My Study Life. You
can configure week rotation timetables when adding or editing
an academic year.

From the general settings screen, you can choose whether you would
like the weeks to be displayed as numbers or letters.
