CASE STUDY

Your company has been awarded a contract to develop Child Care Software for Neios Day Care Center (NCC). The software should maintain a database of Family, Child, and Payroll information. Users of the software shall have the ability to add/update/delete all information based on their access levels. All employees (managers, teachers, admin staff, etc.) will be identified by a unique login ID and given a default password. The employee first and last name should be stored. The general requirements for the software are as follows: Any changes in the database (add or update) the user ID and time of change should be stored on the record. The system must respond to all requests within 20 seconds. A web-based solution. The ability for an employee to update the password is optional. The software shall support the ability to store, update, maintain, and delete of Family & Child Information, Family and Child Billing, and Payroll information as specified in Amendment A.

Amendment A
