Exercice 2. Case Study: Renting Cars

ABC is a company for renting cars, wishes to realize a website allowing clients to book cars. Initial
requirements for a reservation navigation system state that all menus be easy to tap. Any user (who doesn’t
have an account) can use the website to search for a car.

A business unit requires that all pages on a website load in less than 2 seconds for 99% of customers
considering their location, bandwidth and latency.

To book a car, the user must have an account. After having an account, the user becomes a client. He must
search for a car before booking it. When he chooses a car, he must enter his visa card information in order to
put a deposit. The visa card information must be verified by the information system of the bank. Note that
a user with no training and no understanding of English shall be able to use the website.

An employee can book and rent a car for a client. If the client has a reservation, he gives the employee the
reservation number. Otherwise, he informs the employee of his request, and the employee searches for a car
corresponding to the client rental needs.

When the client returns a car, the employee verifies it by entering the necessary information on the system.
The system calculates and displays the total rental amount, and the employee informs the client of this
amount. The client pays the rental amount, and if he wants an invoice, the employee prints one for him.

The director of the site can add and remove cars. Employees shall not be allowed to update the rate of the
cars, and any such attempt shall be reported to the director of the site. Client, employee, and director must
be logged in before using the system.

Q1). From the description of the system, extract three non-functional requirements, each belong
to a different requirement type; indicate the type of each requirement.

1. Usability:
 Initial requirements for a reservation navigation system state that all menus be easy to
tap.
 A user with no training and no understanding of English shall be able to use the
website.
2. Speed:
 A business unit requires that all pages on a website load in less than 2 seconds for 99%
of customers considering their location, bandwidth and latency.
3. Access Security:
 Employees shall not be allowed to update the rate of the cars, and any such attempt shall
be reported to the director of the site.
