To improve the efficiency.
Quickly find out information of an employee details.
To provide easy and faster access information.

2.3 User Characteristics
2.3.1 End Users
No specific knowledge or skills are required from the end user. End user should have basic idea about computer operations and database.

2.3.2 Administrator
Administrator must be having good knowledge of database management system. Administrator must be capable to manage user rights.
If the network connection does not work properly than our system should not work as intended. Also that is assumed that the product is installed properly at web server. This system will not take care of any virus problem, which might occur either on the client or the server system. Avoiding the use of pirated software and ensuring that floppies and other removable media are scanned for viruses before use could minimize the possibility of viral infection. Recovery of data after a system crash will be possible only if backups are taken at regular intervals. Manual interfaces cannot be fully avoided. Documented proofs like data entry of employees etc. will have to be verified by the concerned management staff before entering it into the computerized system.

2.4 Assumptions and Dependencies
Assumptions:
The code should be free with compilation errors/syntax errors. The product must have an interface which is simple enough to understand.

Dependencies:
All necessary hardware and software are available for implementing and use of the tool. The proposed system would be designed, developed and implemented based on the software requirements specifications document. End users should have basic knowledge of computer and we also assure that the users will be given software training documentation and reference material. The system is not required to save generated reports.
