BUDGET TRACKER WEB APPLICATION - PROJECT TEMPLATE
1. Project Scope and Requirements
Project Scope & Objectives
• Scope:
o Develop a full-stack web application for budget tracking
o Implement secure user authentication
o Offer detailed analytics and reporting
• Objectives:
o Help users track income/expenses efficiently
o Provide insights for better financial management
o Ensure user-friendly and visually intuitive interface
Requirement Analysis
• Functional Requirements:
o User registration and login
o Add/edit/delete income and expense entries
o Categorize transactions (e.g., food, rent, entertainment)
o Dashboard with monthly/yearly summaries
o Data visualization (charts/graphs)
o Export report (PDF/CSV)
• Non-Functional Requirements:
o Responsive design for mobile and desktop
o Data security and privacy
o High availability and low latency
2. Software Process and Methodology
Software Process Model
• Agile Model selected:
o Iterative and incremental development
o Continuous feedback from users
o Adaptive to changes and evolving requirements
Agile Practices Followed
• Sprint planning and reviews every 2 weeks
• Daily stand-ups for progress updates
• Use of Kanban board for task tracking (e.g., Trello/Jira)
• Continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD)
3. Object-Oriented Design
Explanation of OO Principles
• Encapsulation: Data (transaction, user info) is wrapped in classes with access control.
• Abstraction: Only relevant transaction/report interfaces shown to users.
• Inheritance: Report class inherits basic data from transaction.
• Polymorphism: Different report types (monthly, yearly) implemented through method
overriding.
4. Software Testing
Testing Plan
• Unit testing for backend services
• Integration testing for user flow
• UI testing using Cypress
• Regression testing on each sprint
