SE401:33:Project Scope

Requirements

These are based around the MoSCoW prioritisation.

They will be updated after we decide how to proceed with the project.

Must Have

• An easy to use User Interface.
• A way to specify data sources.
• Output code that is valid for the major web browsers.

• HTML.
• PHP.
• JavaScript.

• A visual representation of the mashup.
• Support specific APIs.

Should Have

• Blacklist for sites that do not want there site to be used in Mashups.
• Set a page refresh time (only get dynamic content every x minutes/hours).
• Combine multiple data sources into one. E.g. Progressive website lists store locations over multiple pages, should record all stores as one data source.

• Page scraper to get data.
• Don't refresh dynamic content if the data cannot be retrieved, but add a warning that it may be out of date.
