INTRODUCTION
This document is prepared in order to determine a software requirement specification for Facebook.
Facebook is a social network on which people can add their friends, share videos and photos, send
and receive messages, comment on the links etc. In order to gain an overview about the report,
firstly, the purpose and scope of this document will be given, then an overall description of
Facebook system is followed.. In addition to these, system features such as uploading photo,
sharing video, adding friend etc. are described deeply. After mentioning about the introduction of
the software system, the specific requirements will be addressed for it. In the final part, functional
and non-functional requirements will be addressed. XPath includes over 200 built-in functions.
With XPath knowledge you will be able to take great advantage of your XSLT knowledge.

1.1 PURPOSE

Facebook is an independent and world-wide social network website. Every person can use it online
without a fee. The Facebook is not a part of a larger system, it is an independent system. People
from different regions of the world can connect to it and exchange informationwith other people. In
order to control the contents of the sharings and comments done by the other people, Facebook has
also a control mechanism. People can deliver their complaints about any part of the Facebook to
the “Facebook Administrators”. Then, “Facebook Administrators” might take appropriate actions
according to the complained situation which isagainst the rule.

2.2 PRODUCT FUNCTIONS

After creating an account and starting to use the Facebook, first thing he or she will make is
searching for friends. The user will search people by their names and can send an invitation to them
to add as a friend and to be able to see their shared items on Facebook. If the person accepts the
invitation, these two persons become friends on Facebook and can interact more closely such as
sending messages to each other.

Any user can share his/her status like whatever he is thinking, wherever he is or his current mode.
Friends of this person can make a comment on that. Furthermore, if a user shared a photo, video,
link or anything, any friend of that user can share that shared item also.

Users can upload photo and video to their profiles and create an album. Anyone can create a group
and invite people to join in the group. Similarly, people can attend the activitieswhere they are
invited.
