Developing Software Requirements Specification for a strategic goods air transportation system

Abstract

Management of air transportation of strategic goods is a very complex task with many challenges. This paper describes the method used in documenting the requirements for an IT system intended to support management of air transportation of military and dual-use goods. The work was completed in conjunction with a private logistics company. The project produced a Software Requirements Specification document and a working prototype. The document and prototype are held by the Military University of Land Forces of Poland. Requirements were solicited from numerous sources. A private logistics company, numerous books and personal experience of the team members all contributed to requirements. These requirements were then analyzed and a final set of requirements was produced. Screen mock-ups and a working prototype were developed. Selected screen shots are within the paper. The working prototype was developed by constructing a database and using a code generator to produce a web application.
