Question 1: Develop the Level 0 Software Context Diagram
You have been tasked with developing the software for the Michigan Secretary of State. The system is fully web-based and connects the general public with the data bases containing driving licenses, driving records, and vehicle title and registrations. There are two sets of users for this system the government employees working for the Michigan Secretary of State and the general public. The general public will use the web site to request copies of their driving records online and also renew the vehicle registration online. The system should be able to accept credit card payments from the general public over the web site. There are fee charges applied for both vehicle registration and driving record history reports. Renewal of drivers licenses must be done in person at the local Secretary of State branch office. The system must access vehicle insurance records to ensure all insurances are current and up to date prior to allowing a registration renewal. There is an interface from all the vehicle insurance providers to update the Secretary of State vehicle insurance records, which is done in batch mode and not seen by the general public. (The interface between insurance companies and the Secretary of the State is not within the scope of the web site development project).
The features (functionality) of the system include:
1. fully web-based access for both general public and Secretary of state employees
2. Interfaces to:
a. a database of drivers and their personnel information contained on their drivers licenses
b. a database of vehicle registration information which includes all title information, all registration information and covers all vehicle types of boats, RVs, autos, motorcycles etc.
c. a database of vehicle insurance information with policy information
3. Note most drivers may own zero, one or multiple vehicles.
4. Most vehicles will have at least one owner or a maximum of two owners.
5. Each vehicle owner may have one or no active driver's license. (Licenses can be suspended, expired, revoked).
6. Payment fees for vehicle registrations are calculated based upon the vehicle weight.
7. The web interfaces provides screens which are used for the general public to request, pay for and print their driving record
8. Screens are also provided for the general public to request, pay for and print their updated vehicle registration. (Note actual license plates and tabs will be mailed out).
9. Screens for Secretary of State employees to process the daily requests from the public arriving at the local branch offices include:
· New License Plates and Vehicle Registration
· Renew License Plates and Vehicle Registration
· New Drivers License Request with Testing
· Renewal of Drivers License
